Saturday 9 ~ Cat's In the Cradle ~ 6/16/18

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!

Cat's In the Cradle (1974)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song began as a poem, written by Harry's wife Sandy before the couple even met. Have you ever tried your hand at writing poetry? 
I am horrible at poetry.  I remember having to write a poem in English Class.  I wrote about ice-cream.  Horrible!

2) The lyrics include a reference to "The Man in the Moon." The original Mother Goose rhyme ends: "It's time for the children on earth to think about getting to bed." Do you remember what time your childhood bedtime was?

I vividly remember having to go to bed at 9pm.  I was probably about 10 or so.

3)  When did you go to bed last night?

Around 11pm-ish.

4) In 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed the proclamation that made Father's Day a holiday on the third Sunday in June. Can you name all 45 Presidents? (No, you don't have to list them here.)

No.  I'm sure at one point I had to learn them all but I have long forgotten the memorization.

 

5) Since Sam's father is particular about his Cole Haan loafers, her Father's Day present to him is always a DSW gift card. Who on your gift list is especially easy to buy for?

 

I always get my Dad his fishing license so he can go out and enjoy spending time fishing.

 

6) Sam's father is a voracious reader. So much so that the local librarian knows him on sight and by name. When did you last visit your neighborhood library?

I just went to the my neighborhood library on Monday :)

 

7) Back when Sam was in high school, her father gave her driving lessons. Do you consider yourself a good driver?

 I'm reluctant to jinx myself, but yes, I think I'm a goo driver :)

8) He is a stickler about car maintenance and reminds Sam to check her car's air filter regularly, because a dirty air filter can reduce mileage. Share your own car maintenance tip.

The hubby is in charge of the car maintenance in our family.  My best tip is "Don't run out of gas!"

9) Whenever he fills up the car, Sam's father also stocks up on his favorite candy: LifeSavers. So Sam is celebrating Father's Day by giving everyone a roll. Would you prefer Wild Cherry, Butter Rum, Winter Green or Peppermint? 

 

Ohhhh....  That would be a toss up between Wild Cherry and Butter Rum!
