On July 29th 1957 The Tonite Show premiered with Jack Parr as it's host. This  marked the beginning of the modern day talk show. Do you watch any daytime or late night talk shows today? Do you have any thoughts on the hubbub surrounding the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, or are you more in the camp of 'who is Stephen Colbert? 

I don't know what the deal is with Colbert's show's cancellation.  I didn't watch the show, so I don't know enough about it.  I haven't watched any daytime or late night talk shows since Craig Ferguson (pictured above) left The Late Late Show (and yes, I'm still mad about it).   

What's the best part of your day? 

 

Mornings.  After I get ready and make my bed, I start the day with my quiet time (prayer and Bible reading) and journaling. I start work between 7:30 ad 8:00 a.m. and have coffee around 9:00 a.m.  If I don't have a meeting or phone calls, I can listen to music or a podcast as I work.  My weekend schedule is a little different, but I try to keep the morning routine the same. 

What's something your generation does that you actually dislike? 

For clarification, I am Generation X (Sorry, but some folks think everyone over 16 is a "Boomer").  With that being said, I don't want to do to my generation what they seem to do to other generations:  generalize behavior and assume that everyone the same age acts and reacts the same.  We don't.  Nobody does. 

When you cook do you clean as you go, or clean it all up once you're finished cooking? What's the last thing you cooked/baked in your own kitchen? 

OK Miss Joyce, this is a trick question.  😄  I know I should clean as I cook but most of the time I don't.  In all fairness, I have a "one butt" kitchen, so waiting to clean up is easier with limited space.  Otherwise, I might end up with dish soap where I don't want it.  The last simple thing I cooked in the kitchen was scrambled eggs yesterday.  The last "more complicated" thing I made was vegetable lasagna in the crock pot last week. 

Sum up your July in ten words or less. 
 

It went by so fast!
