Klever Kutter

If you get a lot of boxes from... oh, I don't know... Amazon maybe, then you know what a pain it is to open them and also to break them down for recycling. Well, no more! I bought a box cutter called the Klever Kutter. It's very safe and quick at opening the taped seams of boxes. I've used it for a few months now and I love it. I'll be buying the 10-pack when this one eventually loses its sharp edges.

Buy it at Amazon! (Just a plain Amazon link- I don't have an affiliate account. I haven't been paid, nor have I received a product to make this recommendation, although that would have been supercool.)

Saturday 9: The Tide Is High (1980)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song was originally performed in 1966 by a Jamaican band called The Paragons. Jamaica is the most popular vacation destination in the Caribbean. What's your ideal vacation? (Relaxing on the beach, sightseeing in a new city, skiing the slopes, spending time with family, etc.)

a nice hotel on the beach with a perfect view of the ocean, with some beach time and some sightseeing time as well

2) In this song, Debbie Harry sings that she's not the kind of girl who gives up easily. How about you? Do you hang on stubbornly? Or do you know when to say "when?"

I hang in there, but I do know when to say when.

3) Blondie is a group that took it's name from the lead singer's most identifiable characteristic, her hair. If your band was named after your hair, what would it be called?

Contained Mayhem

4) Before her career as a singer took off, Debbie supported herself as a waitress. She even served drinks while wearing bunny ears and tail at The Playboy Club. Have you ever worked in food service? 

I was a hostess at Gallagher's Steakhouse in Houston in high school. Still have the phone greeting down: "Good evening! Gallagher's NASA Road 1! This is Kathy! How may I help you?"

5) Debbie points to David Bowie as a major influence on her music and career. What's your favorite Bowie song?
"Modern Love"

6) In 1980, when this song was popular, the best selling issue of Rolling Stone featured Robert Redford on the cover. Who is your all-time favorite actor?
Hard question- Dustin Hoffman.

7) In 1980, Ted Turner revolutionized how we watch TV when he introduced CNN. Do you have any subscriptions services in addition to cable -- like Hulu, Amazon Prime or Netflix?

Amazon Prime and Netflix.

8) John Lennon was murdered in 1980. Today there's a specially landscaped section of Central Park called Strawberry Fields in his honor. If you had a day to spend in New York, what would you want to see?

September 11 Memorial (it was under construction when we were last in NYC in 2008), Statue of Liberty, and I'd see Bette Midler in Hello Dolly.

9) We're going shopping! Which do you need to add to your wardrobe: underwear, shoes or a swimsuit?

Swimsuit!
