Share Your World

Di, at Pensitivity101, is our host for Share Your World each week. Here are her questions for this week.

1. Do you have a favorite movie you never tire of watching?

Quite possibly my favorite movie of all time is Mel Brooks’ “Young Frankenstein,” which I’ve probably seen about a dozen times. It always makes me laugh but I try to limit seeing it no more often than every other year or so because I don’t want it to grow stale.

2. Do you have a favorite song or special song as a couple?

When my wife and I were dating, I introduced her to Jackson Browne by taking her to a concert at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, where Browne was the headliner and the band Orleans opened up for him. Then we went to see Browne at the Merriweather Post Pavillion in Columbia, MD, at which concert he recorded his live album, “Running on Empty.” So anytime we hear a track from that album, we consider it to be “our song.”

3. How do you relax in the evenings?

We usually have dinner between 6 and 7 pm and then watch some TV (these days mostly British detective series on BritBox) until around 9:00, when we take out our dog for her last walk. We may finish watching whatever show we were watching when we get back from the dog walk and usually, by around 10:00, we head to the bedroom. Yeah, I know. Very exciting life.

4. Do you celebrate special birthdays or anniversaries?

We acknowledge all family birthdays and anniversaries and usually have parties for the grandkids’ birthdays. We may also plan celebratory dinners or gatherings for birthdays and anniversaries.
