Welcome to July!  A lot of important historical events took place in July in the United States.  We adopted the Declaration of Independence.  The first income tax bill was signed into law and the Bureau of Internal Revenue was established. The Battle of Gettysburg began.  Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall began his tenure on the court. Apollo 11 lifted off from Kennedy Space Center.  We have a rich history (some good, some bad).  I wasn't very interested in history class in school, but as an adult that has changed.

I'll bet you know where I'm going with this. Our topic today is:

U.S. History

I like a good movie.  I don't go to the movies a lot because there aren't many that interest me enough to spend the money, but I am looking forward to seeing Solo:  A Star Wars Story.  I like light-hearted movies - comedies, romances, "fun" science fiction, etc.  I don't go to the movies to be scared out of my wits, to be sad or to watch a bunch of gory, shoot-em-up scenes.  And I don't want to have to think too hard to figure out what the movie means.  I want to be entertained.

I guess you've already figured out that today's topic is:

My next-door neighbors are the nicest people in the world.  And their family is a little unusual when it comes to celebrations.  Out of the four people in their family, three of them have their birthdays within the first 7 days of March and the parents' wedding anniversary is the same week!  The fourth person is the odd one out - her birthday is in October.

Speaking of birthdays......our topic today is Famous Birthdays

Every day we are bombarded by commercials on TV or radio and advertisements in print such as magazines or newspapers.  Many times, I've found myself singing commercial jingles.  I've often thought that I got into the wrong business - after all, somebody made a lot of money for coming up with a finger that had a face drawn on it (Ziploc bags). 

So today, I'll test your knowledge of:

I recently bought a new car and it came with a trial subscription to OnStar and SiriusXM Radio.  I've always wanted OnStar, so the only decision there is which plan I'm going to subscribe to.  On the other hand, I'm not a channel changer on the radio - my radio basically stays on one station all the time - so the SiriusXM is one expense that I won't have after the trial is over.  I just don't need it.

 

Or so I thought.  

After looking at the station lineup, I discovered that they have comedy channels and country channels and a Broadway channel and pop stations and..and... and the list goes on!  I now have 11 - count them, 11 - presets on my radio. I am L O V I N G it!  They even have stations dedicated solely to a particular decade.  

One day I was listening to the 70's on 7 station, when one of my favorite songs from that era came on and I was singing it the rest of the day.  Just couldn't get it out of my head.  So guess what our topic is today?
