Top Ten Tuesday… Bucket list!

Here’s something I haven’t done in a while! Or maybe ever, I can’t remember.  And since I botched Toast Tuesday…

These are the top 10 things on my bucket list:

1. Party with Dave Grohl. Like, go to his house, swim in his pool and listen to him play music with his friends in his private studio. With the sound board from Sound City. Seriously…. Did you all see that documentary? So cool!
2. Caddy for Alice Cooper. Yep, the godfather of shock rock is an avid golfer. What the hell, right? Goofy plaid pants, pastel polo shirt wearing Alice Cooper. Bloody hilarious! So I actually golf… Badly, mind you, but I could haul Alice’s clubs around Pebble Beach for sure!
3. Be Bryan Ferry‘s backup singer. All I need is a black sequined dress, and two actual backup singers to flank me on either side. I got moves! Fake it till you make it, baby!
4. Be The Doctor’s companion. As in Doctor Who… timelord, TARDIS traveling all of time and space… I’d need my own sonic screwdriver, though…
5. Sit courtside at the NCAÂ Men’s Basketball Championship. In a year when Villanova wins it all… like this past year!
6. Take singing lessons from a professional. No kidding, my opera voice is for real…
7. Have a meaningful conversation with former president Jimmy Carter. I really think Mr. Carter is underappreciated as a statesman, a diplomat, and a scholar. If you have the chance to read any of his published works, I encourage you to do so.
8. Make it to ‘the red chair’ on Graham Norton. My stories would let me walk!
9. Invent a time machine, go back and give my impressionable, teenage self some decent advice. Er… actually see number 4.
10. Acquire a whole crapload of money (legally, of course…) and find a way to get all of you lovely people in one place for an epic party!

Elderflower Liqueur… Yeah, skip…

Ugh… Week 22 in the Year of Drinking Adventurously… Elderflower Liqueur.

Oh, I didn’t even try. The weekend had so many distractions. For one, my friend Tim got married on Saturday and I swear I’ve never been to a more fun wedding in my life. The music was awesome, the bride and groom were delirious, and the food was off the chart. I bought a ridiculous pair of heels, danced in them all night and woke up the next day, swearing I had stress fractures… (I don’t, I’m fine!)

I was trying to think of something fun to post instead of making something up about elderflower liqueur. It sounds like something I might enjoy…   But I’m afraid I will have to send you to Lula this week!

Promise I’ll be back next week with the booze du jour. Sorry about the fail, not…

 

 

Color – A Limerick 

In ‘pantelon rouge’ marched the army of France
But the uniform gave them little chance
To dodge the enemy bullet
In fact made them a target
All because of the color of their pants

In response to Mind and Life Matters limerick poetry challenge.

World War I: The very heavy French losses during the Battle of the Frontiers can be attributed in part to the high visibility of the French uniforms, combined with peacetime training which placed emphasis on attacking in massed formations. The shortcomings of the uniforms were quickly realized and during the first quarter of 1915 general distribution of horizon-blue clothing in simplified patterns had been undertaken.
