Wednesday's
Hodgepodge is brought to us courtesy of Joyce at
Pop
over there to see other posts and if you want to join in add the link to your Hodgepodge
blog post to the Linky List at the end of Joyce's post and don’t forget to
visit at least your neighbours on the list.
Have fun!
1. How should success be measured? Using that as your
standard, who is the most successful person you know? (Or one of
the most successful?)
Nice easy starter, Not! I suppose by a person’s achievements and
their legacy. And how these were
obtained. No good doing lots of good
things if you’ve trampled on people to get there. Difficult to pick just one person but people
who have made a difference in the world spring to mind, especially in
scientific fields. (E.g. Dr Christian Barnard – first heart transplant surgeon
or the doctors who created the first test tube baby, or Tim Berners-Lee who
invented the World Wide Web.)
2. Have you ever been to a hot air balloon
launch/fest/party? Ever taken a ride in a hot air balloon? Is that on your
bucket list? No, no and no! Guess I’m boring. (Or definitely
unadventurous.)
According to Frommers
the ten best hot air balloon adventures in the world are-
Loire Valley (France), the Serengeti (Tanzania), Napa
Valley (California), Lake Champlain (Vermont), Cappadocia (Turkey), Istria
(Croatia), Gstaad (Switzerland), Yarra Valley (Australia), Muelle (Costa Rica),
and Albuquerque (New Mexico).
Which one on the list would you most like to experience?
None of them in a hot air balloon. I don’t think I’d even be comfortable in a
helicopter. Don’t mind a trek though.
3. May 25th is National Brown-Bag It Day. Did you/will
you pack a lunch today? When did you last pack a lunch for someone and what are
your go-to ingredients for a brown bag lunch?
I don’t often do a packed lunch these days but when I was
researching for my A-Z posts I did take a lunch out a couple of times. Usually a sandwich, crisps, a sweet treat of
some sort. Nothing fancy. We don’t usually brown bags either.
4. What's one of your favorite dance scenes from a movie
or television show?
The finale of Dirty Dancing.
5. John F. Kennedy made famous the line, '...Ask not
what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
So what can you do for your country?
Be a good citizen?
6. Weekends are made for... R & R
7. On this last Wednesday of the month, bid farewell to
the month of May in seven words or less.
Goodbye May.
Overall a good month.
8. Insert your own random thought here.
Hard questions this week Joyce.
They certainty were hard this week, weren't they? I enjoyed your answers as well....smiles
ReplyDeleteI've never been in a helicopter, and have no plans to ever do that! Unless I'm being rescued from somewhere : ) Hope you have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteDirty Dancing is what I had said. I could watch it over and over again! I felt the questions were pretty hard too.
