Live Like You Were Dying (2003)

Unfamiliar with this week's song. Hear it here.

1) This song is about a man whose father advises him to live life to the fullest, to become "the friend you'd like to have." How about you? Are you the friend you'd like to have?

I think so..  I try to be caring and  interested in the lies of my friends.  I try to be generous and helpful..I am very blessed to have 4 very close dear friends..

2) The song lists several "bucket list" items: skydiving, mountain climbing, riding a bull. Have you done any of those things? Would you like to?

No, and uh, NO!

3) In the music video, Tim McGraw is wearing a white button-down shirt, blue jeans and a cowboy hat. Which of those items is in your wardrobe?

None of my shirts are button down these days, sounds like high school to me.   But, of course, I have several pairs of jeans.

4) He wears a cowboy hat because he is embarrassed by the size of his forehead. When you wear a hat, are you more likely doing it for style, like Tim, or for protection from the elements?

Definitely protection from the elements,  primarily the

 

5) McGraw's biological father was Tug McGraw, pitcher for the Mets and Phillies. How did your baseball team do this season?

I really do not  follow baseball. I cannot even think of a team.

6) Tim McGraw and wife Faith Hill live just outside of Nashville. They enjoy inviting friends over to sit around a bonfire, drinking beer and playing guitars. Tell us about the most recent gettogether you had with friends.

We had  Amanda and her family along  with  her in-laws over last night for a lovely Italian dinner..   Unfortunately, it was more of a love fest than   frolicsome time,  because   poor Jan begins her chemo on Monday and we were trying to take some of the  work of dinner off of her,,  but it was a sweet, sweet time together!!!

7) Tim likes his tattoos. He admits his silliest one -- a leprechaun wearing a cowboy hat -- was acquired during a night of drinking. Do you have a tattoo? If so, are you glad you have it and would you get it again?

No tattoos for me!

8) In 2003, when this song was popular, the supersonic Concord took its last flight. When did you most recently board a plane? What was your destination? 

May of 2014,  we  boarded American Airlines in Dublin, Ireland back home to Philadelphia.  On the side,we were in Washington,  DC when the supersonic made its first flight to the US and  we saw it  land at Dulles...  That was  quite a show!  Also,  when I was flying to Germany to meet Lynn and  live there after  we first got married, my seatmate  was  very nice gentleman on his way to Zurich  on business. I had a 30 minute layover in London then a 90 minute flight on to Mannheim .  I was  quite a bit  nervous about making that connecting flight,  so the gentleman said,  "Don't worry I will  take you where you need to go", and he did..  he laughed.. and replied, "I'm taking the supersonic on the Zurich,  I'll be there in 20 minutes. I'll be getting off the plane  when you are boarding  your's." 

9) Random question: When did you last walk around the house naked?

Maybe about 68 years ago.
