Because what is life without whimsy, we are going to do another edition of favorite Friday. Feel free to add your answers in comments, post on your own blog or just make fun of my answers…
- Favorite Instrument- piano
- Favorite Thing About America-freedom- well, you know…
- Favorite Season- spring
- Favorite Olympic Sport-Figure Skating
- Favorite board game: for a long time Clue was my fave, but I will say, pandemic has introduced us to Ticket to Ride and I’m obsessed…
- Favorite Store in the Mall- OK- I rarely go to malls. NYC has what are know as shopping centers, but unless you have a Cartier in your mall, I’m guessing there is a slight divergence in stores. But the last time I went to a mall, I think I really liked Brookstone
- Favorite Extracurricular Activity- ummm…reading….
- Favorite Fruity Candy- Starburst
- Favorite Simpsons Character-I know it’s been on for 30+ years, but I’ve never watched an episode
- Favorite Band or Music artist- this totally changes on my mood. at this moment I’m liking Cage the Elephant
thanks to pairedlife.com for the prompts

I stopped at number one. Do you play the piano or like to listen one being played? Or both?

Technically both, though I haven’t played in years

I like playing the piano, but I prefer orchestral and choral music. You get to hear things live in normal times. Hope concerts resume soon.

Favorite season would be Summer, Fall, Spring, Winter. 🙂 I love the warmer weather Spring brings and seeing flowers bloom, but my allergies do not like it!
Love watching figure skating, they make it look so easy!
We got a speed Monopoly game at Christmas. Love it! You can play each hand in 10 minutes. 🙂
Never watched the Simpsons either!
Reading as an activity, YES! Too bad it doesn’t burn calories. LOL!

Apologies for my scattershot reply in which I piecemeal a handful of my own, but running is probably my favorite activity. Favorite thing about America? A baseball game in the evening . . . Favorite season? Spring. Favorite store in the mall? I don’t go there enough to know. And favorite band? Kansas.
Also, I’ve only watched a handful of Simpson’s episodes and it’s been decades since the last one.

I’m with you on the Simpsons (or just about any TV show). I love soprano saxophone. Starburst, yum, though I’ve been on a Mike & Ike’s kick lately. Every season is my favorite at the beginning of it. No favorite sport or board game (though we enjoy cribbage once in a while). Couldn’t care less about malls. Is research an extracurricular activity?

I need to look into Ticket to Ride. I’ve heard about it from a few different people. We could use a new game around here. Thanks for the idea.
