I plan to share tweets of every blog post I visit if I don't forget and those that really rock me I'll share on Facebook. I'm nearly done with all my posts with just four to go. Then I need to go back to tie together some posts as I don't want to miss out on BoTB and WW. I'd better scat.

I'm used to that hour because that's about when I used to get up when I was working outside the home. I didn't much like early mornings when I was a younger "party guy" if I was that much of such a thing. But when I'm in the morning and seeing the sunrise it can be pretty awesome.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-74935828929276835232018-03-11T12:29:00.535-07:002018-03-11T12:29:00.535-07:00I celebrate with cake and coffee and, if there is ...I celebrate with cake and coffee and, if there is room, ice cream ;)Optimistic Existentialisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11507986337866049924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73067114549840443242018-03-11T11:43:04.274-07:002018-03-11T11:43:04.274-07:00I try not to do early bedtimes cuz then I'm up...I try not to do early bedtimes cuz then I'm up so early.

I made a goof on my Twitter handle, hopefully you got my request to fix it since I didn't know how to do that. I know I closed the dialogue off too soon before it caught my eye. Silly me, right? I have 3-weeks of posts already completed and I hope to finish up next week. I'm excited and trying to keep things simple. This reduces the stress for me in the long haul. No doubt after April, I will be ready for a little down time but we'll see. I enjoy staying active in Blogosphere as long I don't feel over-extended. The way I like to unwind each evening is to have dinner and watch TV. We like to stream a TV series we're in the middle of or a show like, The Voice. It's a great way relax. There's no big celebrations on this end when I complete my writings because it's just a blog post but next month's challenge...that's a different story. :) It looks like I sided with the loser in this BoTB but it was a close race. Thanks for visiting and have a good weekend, my friend!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01056276734145310231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-35344277795818441362018-03-08T20:46:48.533-08:002018-03-08T20:46:48.533-08:00Gwen, sometimes I really have to push myself to cr...Gwen, sometimes I really have to push myself to crank out a post.

I'll be joining for my 5th year. The badges are lovely - both the old and the new. Thank you and the A-Z team for the fun times in April.<br /><br />Sinatra is totally unbeatable, though I like Bobby Darin's rendition as well.<br /><br />Nilanjana Bosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08656370320322301943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-69515996023889211292018-03-08T08:26:25.086-08:002018-03-08T08:26:25.086-08:00Gina, nothing like good ol' escapism to relax....Gina, nothing like good ol' escapism to relax.<br /><br />Lee<br />Arlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-16568297564115662662018-03-08T08:25:53.001-08:002018-03-08T08:25:53.001-08:00Diane, never say you can't do something (withi...Diane, never say you can't do something (within practical limitations).

Bobby Darin still did better than I imagined he would. In addition to my vote, I figured he'd get maybe 2 or 3 more, tops.<br /><br />Just the name "Sinatra" pretty much guarantees that the other contestant is going to lose. ...Unless the other contestant is Satchmo or maybe Nat. Then you might have a real Battle on your hands.<br /><br />How about a 3-Way: Frank, Louis & Nat? That could be interesting. Which legend can bump off the other two legends? (Then again, that could be begging for a 3-way tie. There's probably no winning.)<br /><br />~ D-FensDogG<br /><b><a href="http://stmccpresentsbattleofthebands.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">STMcC Presents 'Battle Of The Bands'</a></b>Stephen T.
