SPIDER'S SUMMER MEME VIA SORTED LIVES / SOMETHING DARING

I had seen this meme on Spider's Monday, May 29th post. I saw the subsequent run of it on Sorted Lives blog with the addition of his five questions to Spider’s meme. Since I have yet to participate in a meme, I decided to take the plunge, picking up from Sorted Lives’ subsequent post. The initial instructions from Spider state that if we were to use this meme on our site, we were to respond to the initial questions and any subsequent questions added to the original, depending on whose blog we pulled it from. Also, I have added five new questions of my own, as instructed. If you would like to simply participate here at this blog you may do so under the comments section. But if you decide to borrow the meme and post at your site, please answer all 20 questions listed below and add five more questions of your own.

Have fun with it…

SPIDER’S INITIAL QUESTIONS:

• Best Summer – Summer of 1982.

MY FIVE ADDITIONS TO THIS MEME:

• Best Summer Memory As A Child (under age 15): Camping with my family and relatives in Lake Tahoe – generally 30-35 would camp between 2 campsites.
• Best ‘Watering Hole' That You Have Been To: The Lonestar in San Francisco. WOOF! GRRRR!

A QUESTION TO ASK YOU: Have you ever known anyone to be so brazen as to drive down a highway through a toll area on his way home clad only in a jockstrap and or butt-naked while having a conversation with a friend on the cellphone? A bit steamy here! Let me just say that I do and drop it there. *wink* And no, it wasn't me!
