Friday Spies ©: Via Meditation from Master Po

In case you’re wondering, yes, we do consider it our fate to wander the Earth like Caine from “Kung Fu,” doling out insipid questions so we’ll have something to blog about. This week’s wisdom, channelled via meditation from Master Po:

1. What’s your favorite season? Fall - the wind is brisk, I have call to wear my field coat, we go back to standard time, and I always find myself renewed in some odd way.

2. Do you have a green thumb? If I tried, possibly, but given my attention span, not really.

3. What is your favorite sport to watch? What is your favorite sport to play? Do you have a sports hero? I love watching good basketball - you know the kind played by a team. I’m not a player of sports as they often involve small quickly moving objects which require a combination of depth perception and coordination. I lack both.

4. Which would you rather be: Mayor, Governor, Senator, or President? Can I just be Big Bird?

5. What are ten must-own items for single men and single women? Well, in all honesty the men’s list was easier, but here goes:

For The Women

1. A tire iron and jumper cables - two things I know, but every car should have them.
2. $20 or $40 for a cab ride home, depending on the city.
3. The phone number of a great friend who will listen to you complain and smack you upside the head as necessary.
4. A life organizer that works for you, whether it’s a formal day-planner or a black book. Having a handle on how your life works helps keeping you sane.
5. Ice cream, or your favorite comfort food. You know you’re going to need it some day.
6. Four decent place settings - they don’t have to match, but you do need enough to have people over or not wash dishes every day.
7. A little dress or skirt shirt combination that make you feel hot. The shoes are important too.
8. Thank You cards - appreciation is good.
9. A favorite person to cut your hair - you wear it every day, love it the way it is.
10. A collection of little mental things that make you smile, they’ll brighten up your day when you least expect it.

For The Men

1. A tire iron and jumper cables - it is still two things I know, but every car should have them.
2. A plan, it may fall through, but please start with a path in mind
3. The phone number of a great friend who will listen to you complain and smack you upside the head as necessary.
4. A life organizer that works for you, whether it’s a formal day-planner or a black book. Having a handle on how your life works helps keeping you sane.
5. A suit that works for you. I love navy suits, but if they wear you rather than you wearing it, pick a different color.
6. Four decent place settings - they don’t have to match, but you do need enough to have people over or not wash dishes every day.
7. A stash of ice cream - I might need it some day.
8. Hand soap in the bathroom. May sound simple, but so often I miss it as look to wash my hands.
9. A clean car - it doesn’t have to be new or fancy but I don’t want to step around your stuff on the floorboard or get the back of my coat stained.
10. A cookbook and the willingness to try. We love the effort, it may not always turned out as planed, but it took time and shows courage.

I like #9 on the woman list. Good call.

Yep, but I had to remind myself of that just today as I shelled out $60 for the fabulous Randy to cut my hair.
