It's Thursday. Once upon a time that meant it was time for the Thurvey . . .the Thursday Survey. So just for old times sake the Thurvey is back. Traditionally the questions range from light hearted to serious. Try not to be mean or hateful, but well crafted satire is welcome. Enter your response to any or all of the questions by commenting on this post, or comment in facebook if that is how you got here. There are no wrong answers except those that you do not write, or something like that. It's okay to answer the questions on Friday or Saturday, or even Sunday. Let the world hear your voice:
#1 Aretha Franklin has just released an album of cover songs . . . songs made famous by other "divas" of the recording industry. For instance she covered "Rollin' in the Deep by Adele. If you were making an album covering the great songs of others, what songs would you cover in your own inimitable stylings?.
#2 A pastor friend asked this question for sermon prep recently. I won't mention any names, but this is the kind of preparation pastors do at Birmingham First United Methodist Church where all are welcomed home. Name two things that are better together. Like fall weather and a convertible.
#3 I was blessed this week by a couple of parking deck attendants at the Birmingham Employees parking deck as I was walking down the sidewalk to court, preoccupied and a little tense. They made me look up and laugh with their laughter and encouragement. Then one did the Hump Day woop woop. And then said "God Bless you, it's gonna be a great day today." When or where or by whom were you surprised by laughter or encouragement this week?
#4 The Blount County Fair is underway this week. What is your favorite thing about a fair?
#5 My last post was in part about Congress' decision to be in session for only 12 days during the months of August, September and October, despite the nation considering war and fighting an epidemic, and weighty important issues left unaddressed. How do you feel about the decision?
#5 The Alabama Legislature will go into session in mid-January. I have learned that if you want to have a chance at getting them to take action on something, you must start early (apparently I never start early enough. I don't think that early exists) Anyway, enough whining. What challenges or opportunities would you like to see the Alabama legislature address in their next session? Big dreams, serious problems, and of course, satire, are encouraged.
#6 What other question would you like answered this week?
Ready. Begin.

I would record Wagon Wheel because it hasn't been sung enough by every yahoo in the world. Vodka and any other liquid are better together. The Indian guy at the convenience store makes me laugh cause we can't understand each other. Candy apples at the fair. Congress should be in D.C. whether they know what to do about all this stuff or not. I do not understand how we re-elect them, and thus the vodka and juice. The Alabama legislature . . . thus the vodka and juice.

ReplyDeleteWoman in car next to me at traffic light rockin' some tunes made me laugh
The Civil Wars
Don't go to fairs.
I guess I could be sarcastic and say that maybe Congress should have longer recesses, but really they should be there now.
Ala. Legislature should name a state bacteria . . . or whatever is left that we don't have a state one of.
