Friday Fiver

Whoa!

1. Do you play cards?

Yes, I love cards, and we played a lot of cards growing up. I don't have much "card sense," though. I could never really get games like Oh Hell, where you have to keep track of what everyone has played. And bridge? Fuhgeddaboutit. But I like cribbage, gin, poker, and solitaire.

2. Do you have any rings on your hands?

Yes, my engagement ring on my right fourth finger and my wedding band on my left fourth finger.

3. Would you describe yourself as innocent?

No.

4. What do you think of chivalry?

Nothing.

5. Have you seen The Thomas Crown Affair?

No.

I like poker and rummy-type games like Hand and Foot, but I don't play much and I also despise games where you have to focus like a laser-beam on whether the seven of clubs was played three hands ago or not.

I wear no rings, but I keep thinking about getting a gold chain to wear my wedding ring around my neck like the One Ring (only without all the evil).

Innocent? Hard word to unpack. Maybe I'm not "pure" or "ignorant," but I sometimes feel "guileless" and "naive."

I like chivalry. My dictionary says it's "the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, esp. courage, honor, courtesy, justice and a readiness to help the weak."

Never seen TCA.

My dictionary added "esp. to women" to its definition of "chivalry," which turned me off.

I love the TCA because the scenery is beautiful and Brosnan's clothes fit so well. Not kidding! It's just a pleasure to watch!

I didn't even realize there was a remake -- I knew only about the original Steve McQueen/Faye Dunaway version.

Not only did I see the TCA, I own both version (admittedly they are video tapes, consigned to be saved "just in case" I ever figure out how to transfer them to dvd. Renee Rusoo in the new version at 4o something..you have to give her credit! You watch every other movie, put it on netflix. K
