Friday's Feast 136

from http://fridaysfeast.blogspot.com

Appetizer
Who is your favorite news anchor/reporter? Why?

I always liked Peter Jennings. He was level headed, thoughtful, humble and Canadian.
I don't watch the news currently. No time to sit. I listen on the radio to keep up with current events.

Soup
Name 3 foods that are currently in your freezer.

Ground turkey, Shrimp Ring, Boneless Chicken Breast

Salad
If you were to have the opportunity to name a new town or city, what would you call it?

Boundaries

Main Course
What will most likely be the next book you read?

Body Clutter

Dessert
What's the first thing you notice about the opposite gender?

The first thing I notice is not what I dwell on, I'm just answering the question literally: the first thing I see is clothing. I love it when a guy dresses up. A well tailored suit jacket, dress shirt, polished shoes. I'm disappointed in rumpled or unkempt clothing as it usually reflects a careless or lazy owner. I'm frustrated by my son's habit of allowing the top of his boxers to show above his jeans. There's a reason it's called "under"wear.

The first thing I care about, though, is how they treat others. Of that I take notice. Do they listen? Make eye contact? Express interest? Draw others into their circle? Speak with kindness? Think before they speak? Leave others feeling better for having interacted with them? A guy like that can dress however he wants. I might even volunteer to iron his rumpled shirt.

And if you knew how much I dislike ironing....

  1. Great Feast. I have noticed a lot of people have mentioned Peter Jennings. He was a good anchorman and a part of my life growing up. My feast is now served if you would like to join.
