Summer In The City

1) Now that Labor Day has passed and kids have returned to school, summer is unofficially over. Looking back, share a highlight from Summer 2024. Setting & reaching a work-related goal of working daily to rewrite and revise my AP Psychology class and APUSH class

2) Though this week's song is about summer, it was recorded in the spring, March to be exact. What's your favorite season? Definitely autumn in Maine

3) Lovin' Spoonful lead singer John Sebastian sings that he's going to meet his lover on the rooftop. When were you last on the roof of your building? I've never been on the roof of my building

4) The lyrics refer to sidewalks that are "hotter than a match head." What's the last thing you lit with a match? a birthday candle

5) The Lovin' Spoonful was founded by John B. Sebastian and Zal Yanovsky. When the band broke up, Zal opened a restaurant. Tell us about the restaurant you most recently dined at. a local pizza place

6) John went on to have a solo career. His biggest hit was "Welcome Back," the theme to a popular 70's sitcom. The first line: "Welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out ...". Do you recall what show used "Welcome Back" as its theme? oh, I loved Welcome Back Kotter!  

7) In 1964, when "Summer in the City" was popular, Americans were tuned in to Bewitched. The show centered around Samantha, a witch married to a mortal. Among her supernatural powers were flight, time travel and telekinesis (being able to move objects by twitching her nose). If you could have one of those powers, which would you choose? I think I would choose teleportation (even though it wasn't listed, it was one of her powers)

8) In 1964, AJ Foyt earned the second of his four Indy 500 victories. Do you watch car racing? no

9) Random question: Is your big toe your longest toe? it is not

#2 I’m doing a little leaf peeping this year, I got a ½ price pass to Mt. Snow. I figured at the end of the month to go up there during the week.
#3 The last time I was on the roof was was when it was being built and there was a leak. So I was on the roof with a garden hose watering my roof, my neighbors were wondring what is she doing now!

I visited Maine in 2008, and the leaves were starting to change. I think we went by Stephen King's house on our way to Kennebunkport.
