What was your
favorite karaoke song?
Karaoke Night was SO much fun. I have got to find a place like that near
Nashville….We sang a lot of songs and some of that night is a little, um, fuzzy
in my memory now….but if I had to pick a favorite, it would be “Making Love Out
of Nothing At All” by the very talented Air Supply. Maggie and I sang the main parts and Olivia
backed us up with her stellar BGVs. We
tried to establish parts (you sing melody, I got harmony) but that was a little
difficult to manage with such a complex piece of music, so we just sang our
hearts out and didn’t pay any attention to the pesky details like getting the lyrics right or
staying on key. Music comes from the heart, right?
Top 5 Saved by the
Bell episodes
This question seems a little random, but it makes perfect
sense to me. I have a particular
fondness for Zack, Slater, Jessie, Kelly, Screech and Lisa and when we were on
the Hollywood trolley tour, we passed the studio where SBTB was filmed. I sent the following text/picture to my
brother David and we had a funny conversation about it:

My top 5 favorite
SBTB episodes:
1.
Jessie’s
dad’s wedding in Palm Springs
2.
The Hot Sundaes (“I’m so excited! I’m so excited! I’m so….scared.”)
3.
Senior Skip Day
4.
Prom:
When Zack and Kelly break up while Jessie sings “How am I supposed to
live without you” in the background.
Jeff (the manager at the Max) stole Kelly from Zack. Heartbreaking.
5.
The Casey Kasem dance contest episode
If you could have
taken any famous person with you—who? Why?
Clark Griswold.
Because he paved the way for us to do this trip. The other person we would've taken is Elias R., Will's best friend from Nashville. Because when he's around, Will doesn't scream or yell or cry or demand constant attention from us.
Is there something
you didn’t do or see that you wish you had?
We never made it to the beach in Southern California. We had plans to go to Santa Monica, but on
beach day, we decided that the effort it would take to pack up and get there
(it was a day we were moving from Pasadena to Long Beach) was too much and we
wanted to spend our energy visiting with our friends instead. I am glad we did that (we were exhausted at
this point in the trip), but I do wish we’d had an extra day to be able to do
that. I also wish we had more time at
Yosemite. It is such a beautiful and
large park and 5 hours didn’t really give us time to experience it well.
What was the best
meal you had on your trip? Worst meal?
Best meal: On the 4th of July, we had really
good food. We spent the day at the pool
and at our friends’ club, they have grills, so Chris cooked steak and
chicken. We had great snacks all day and
dessert was berries with fresh whipped cream.
That was all very tasty. The
sushi restaurant night (Takami) was good food, too!
Worst meal: turkey sandwiches. We had sandwiches again, and again and again
and again and even after all that, we had another turkey sandwich again. A little while later, we had some more turkey
sandwiches and then right before that, it was turkey sandwiches. Anybody hungry? You can have a turkey sandwich. I knew we were going to be sick of sandwiches
by the end of the trip, but I had underestimated how sick of sandwiches we
would be. I think if I offered deli meat
to my kids right now, they would stage a coup and attempt to smother me, one
piece of turkey at a time.
