10 November 2018

Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme! 

Saturday 9: The Middle (2018)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song is about compromise. When did you recently give in a little and meet someone halfway?

Ever since I developed this "whatever it is," I find myself meeting Ned halfway on a lot of things.  Sadly, most of the time he is right.

2) She sings that the floors are wet. Are there any floors in your home that could use a good scrub today? If you answered "yes," will those floors get cleaned this weekend?

I apparently spilled something on the kitchen floor recently and just noticed it today.  it will be cleaned soon, but probably not this weekend.

3) She also sings that the cabinets are bare. What's currently on your shopping list?

Bwahaha.  Just went to the store, so there is noting left on the list.  I had not been to the store since June, so I had a wonderful time shopping again.

4) You may be familiar with this song from Target's TV commercials. Do you often shop at Target?

When I want to shop at a store like that, Target is my store of choice.

5) The lead vocal is handled by Maren Morris, a Grammy winner for "My Church," which is all about singing with the car radio. What's the last song you sang along with?

It was a hymn I attempted to sing along with at the ecumenical Healing Service of Solidarity at the local synagogue after the Pittsburgh massacre.  I used to sing a lot, but in my old age, my voice has disappeared and I have a vocal range of about 3 notes, and it's very frustrating to try to sing because I always loved singing.

6) This past April, Maren married singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd and they have performed onstage together. Who is the last person you sang along with?

See previous answer.

7) This song was composed by brothers Kyle and Michael Trewartha. With their bleached hair and sunglasses, they look like a pair of surfer dudes -- which they are, having grown up in Huntington Beach, CA. Is there a body of water near your hometown?

We are about 80 miles from the Pacific Ocean, 130 miles from Lake Tahoe and 2-1/2 mles from Lake Stonegate.

8) January 2018, when this song debuted, we had a total lunar eclipse. When things like that happen in the sky, do you go out of your way to watch?

I don't go out of my way to watch, but if it can be seen from our back yard, I try to remember to look.

9) Random question -- They say we're all young at heart. In what way can you be childlike?

I have the food tastes of a child.

I'd love it if you'd leave a comment!

Apparently someone decided I should approve comments before they appear -- it wasn't me! --
so if you don't see your comment, it's because it's awaiting approval.  Sorry 'bout that!
