Folks, I'm trying to find a better header than the one that's on my blog right now; I know this one is not satisfactory.  I loved the previous header but it was time for a change.

6. my kids and grandkids, cousins, aunts and uncles, and all relatives, living and dead.

7. our DVR (sorry, but it's still such a novelty to me, I can't stop thinking about it).

Sunday Seven

Conan O’Brien’s exit from Late Night with Conan O’Brien signals the start of a slow shift of late night hosts. But regardless of who is on when, which host — past or present — would be your all-time favorite?

In case you need a little help with the candidates, here’s someone else’s list of the best late night hosts.

Name your seven favorite late-night talk show hosts.

(To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.) You may include this link in the URL space when leaving your comment, or in the comment itself. As long as it’s there in one spot or the other.

1. Jack Paar. He had such mood swings. He'd laugh, he'd cry; he almost got in a physical fight with a drunken Mickey Rooney. Anything could happen!

2. Steve Allen. What a pleasant man. Sometimes he got so silly!

3. Jay Leno. I do hate to see him moving from late-night. I'll be watching David Letterman from now on; I've never cared for Conan.

4. Dick Cavett. I never watched him when his show was on, but I have some dandy DVDs of his old shows where he did interviews with Janis Joplin and others. He was pretty serious compared to some of the other late-show guys.

5. Johnny Carson, of course. Everybody loved Johnny.

6. David Letterman. He's a little too silly for my taste, but he'll do.

7. Joey Bishop. I had almost forgotten him!

THIS WEEK’S QUESTION:
List either the name of a favorite blogger or their blog’s title that begins with the first letter of each of the first seven letters of the alphabet.

Either answer the question in a comment or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment at Patrick's Place. (To be considered “first to play,” a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

In doing this exercise, I found out I have lots of favorite blogs that begin with the letter "C". And only one that begins with "E".

Antique Mommy - She has such an excellent way with words, she has almost made me cry at times.

Because I Said So - Ebay made her blog famous; now she's written a book.

Confessions of a Pioneer Woman - Who doesn't know about Ree?

Diane’s Place - one of my recent discoveries. If you check out her blog, be sure and look at her recipe blog too.

Ellie’s Dish - Ellie just doesn't do enough entries to suit me. Ellie, if you're reading this... get on the ball! (you were my only "E" on the list).

Faze Daze - Faye read my AOL journal for a long time before she started her own blog.

Good Morning, Sunshine - Another AOL journal that's chock-full of positive thoughts. Go there for a big dose of optimism.

Well, that's my required seven. I could go on through the alphabet, but Patrick says seven.

The Sunday Seven

THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
Name the last seven specific items that you purchased at the grocery store.

Either answer the question in a comment at Patrick's Weekender, or answer it in your journal and include the link in a comment at Patrick's Weekender. (To be considered "first to play," a link must be to the specific entry in which you answered the question.)

1. bananas. We always buy them, every week. Cliff and I mix them in our daily oatmeal, and the granddaughters love them as snacks.
2. ground beef . I was making chili, after all.
3. half-and-half... for the potato soup I planned to make for my daughter.
4. golden delicious apples... for the apple pie my daughter requested for her birthday dinner.
5. Caffeine free Diet Coke, because it was on sale and that's what Cliff drinks.
6. ice cream... for the apple pie I was going to bake.
7. Mini-spooners and some other Malt-O-Meal cheapo chocolate-flavored cereal the granddaughters like.

Hey Patrick, this was easy. You could have asked for 50 items and I'd have been able to do it.
