SHARING THE WORLD – THE NIGHT BEFORE A BLIZZARD

Share Your World – March 12, 2018

If a distant uncle dies and you were always his favorite and leaves you $50,000 (any currency) in his will, what would you do?

Aside from having no distant uncles with any money … or for that matter, actually not having distant uncles of any kind, the likelihood of this approaches zero on a very close order. Moving into the realm of sheer fantasy, I would pay all the credit cards and the car.

With the remaining money, remodel the bathroom and put down a new kitchen floor. Get someone to paint the inside of the house. Hire a gardener! And finally, get someone to come in and clean once a week. If there was any money left, get rid of the crappy old rugs and put down good dog-proof flooring.

By now, I think I ran out of money  and am probably in debt.

What sound or sounds do you love? 

I would do better telling you what I don’t love.

Opera. Lyric soprano voices. Pop music where everyone shouts and no one every really sings. Music without melody and songs without rhythm.

Concert tonight!

Any noise that is loud. I don’t care what it is. Music or just noise. To me, if it’s loud enough, I don’t like it, so I’ve never been much of a rock concert fan. People who sing a little off-key. You know, one of those voices that’s always a quarter of a tone flat and the singer doesn’t know it. It makes me grind my teeth.

What’s your middle name?  Why?

I don’t have a middle name. My sister got a middle name. My brother had a middle name. They barely managed to find a first name for me. But considering the middle names of many of my friends, I’m probably better off without one.

What did you appreciate or what made you smile this past week? 

My birthday was lovely. Cards and good wishes and watching Lord of the Rings — the extended version, if you please.

    Why don’t you just add a second name. It doesn’t have to be official. If you did what would it be?

    We seem to get left money quite often in Share Your World!
    I’m with you on the “sounds I don’t love”. I love musicals where they sing properly, but not opera. It cuts right through you.

      It’s those lyric sopranos. They make my brain buzz. I don’t mind the lower ranges so much, but to me, those high sopranos sound shrieky. Like that ugly sound the Ring Wraiths made.

      We recently again watched “Sound of Music”. I LOVE the lyrics and melodies. Some say it’s too “sweet”. But that’s what I love about the mood it creates.
