 You are 74 years old. Right now you're probably wondering why we forgot to mention Frank Sinatra. Fair point. EEK! |

Oh I listen to Mozart but I listen to punk to
Hey, at least they got close to your age! They added several years to mine. LOL
How’d your day go? Head to the VFW for soup and sammiches today?
Did you have questions to ask them?
Brahms: Clarinet Sonata in E-flat, Op. 120/2, first movement
I have seen Zappa live five times.
Never got served pancakes though.
Maybe they were being served over where the huskies go.
(As an Inuit, I am particularly fond of the memories evoked by the infamous “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow”.

I was too tongue tied to come up with anything.
I’ll take any glimmer of hope at this point!
Only a month...one day at a time.
How about your end of Winter?
I still get carded. I think they are told to card everyone. I usually tell them they have to guess who was President when I was born (it was Eisenhower) before I give them the ID. Most of the kids behind the counter usually guess Nixon or Reagan (I do look young for my age) but most don’t know who Ike was.
Except for the wise guy a month ago. I asked him who was President when I was born and he smiled and said “Lincoln.”
According to this quiz, I’m 23 - and so I was, about 25 years ago. If only quizzes could make it so =).

I believe in Father Christmas,
But I hope the Russians love their children too.
It was cold and rainy/snowy today so I went nowhere. Just hung out and played my video game and FReeped.
Howz about you?
Sting?
Wow, that was a good quiz for me. They got within six months of my age.
Older then dirt.

They missed by a decade or three.
Yeah, I'm 104. You got a problem wit dat?
Nope. Not gonna click on the link. No way. I’d rather click on the attachment in crudely written email advising me I’ve won the English lottery.
Very cool! I guess music really does tell a lot about a person! :)
The first line of my riddle “I believe in Father Christmas” is a line from a song by Emerson, Lake, And Palmer, which steals from Lt. Kije’s Sleigh Ride.
The second line is from Sting’s “Russians” which steals from Lt. Kije’s “Romance”
So a Great Jeopardy question could be:
These two pop songs steal themes from Prokofiev’s Lt. Kije.
And the answer would be:
Father Christmas and Russians.
