Good Morning All!!!


Have you been to the Sistine Chapel in the Vatican? No.
If yes, how well did it measure up to your expectations?

Have you ever attended a concert at the Fillmore Auditorium, San Francisco? No, not my kind of thing
If yes, who was the star of the concert?



Do you play poker ? I have...but it's not my favorite game.
If yes, where do you usually play ?
With friends in your home or theirs usually with small change and one time with jelly beans
At the casino Oh heck no, I'd lose my shirt
Online
At a club
Other

How confident are you that you do (or could) keep a poker face if you have a great hand of cards? LOL....no way. I try but I think a little smirk or sparkle in my eye can be seen

How far from your house is the nearest pay phone ? I don't know if it is still there but there used to be one at the grocery store about 3 miles from my house.


When was the last time you used a pay phone? Years...and I still have minutes on pre paid phone card from Rite Aid. Remember those, lol? I wonder of they still work.

Cleveland’s highest November temperature was 82 degrees F, recorded on this day in 1950. What’s the expected high temperature in your area for today?

I just looked up the forecast at 3 different sites. Seems none of them agree. It will either be a high of 76, 77, or 79 today....then again they could all be wrong Either way it is going to be sunny and too hot

How confident are you that you do (or could) keep a poker face if you have a great hand of cards? I'm pretty good at it now, but I used to be terrible! I'd giggle every time I got something good, and everyone would immediately throw in their hands! *lol* Now, though I can better keep my thoughts to myself.

Bonus Question:
How far from your house is the nearest pay phone? Less than 1 mile.
When was the last time you used a pay phone? About 4.5 years ago, in a courthouse. I was attending a trial (for work!) and needed to call my office. I was in an area of the building where they don't allow cell phones, and they had a bank of pay phone booths. I used one of those.
