MY PERFECT DAY

A few weeks ago the Boston Globe ran a story asking some notable Bostonians to envision their ideal summer day - my son Steve was one of the "notables" that they interviewed.

This is my perfect day

That inspired me to write about my ideal day - not necessarily a summer day but any time of the year.

8:30 a.m. Wake up - At my age, that's always a plus! Check e-mail - visit some blogging friends, check Steve's blog, twitter and flickr accounts. Have breakfast with Regis and Kelly. Read the newspaper - make a few phone calls.

11:00 a.m Do a few household chores. ( and I do mean a few!)

12:30 p.m. Have lunch with Meredith Viera, hostess for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" - Yell out to the contestants when they don't know the answer.

1:00 p.m. Mah Jong at the club house - When I'm in Florida it's Mah Jongg at the pool! Win or lose, I still enjoy the game.

4:30 p.m. Nap Time.

6:00 p.m. Usually a local restaurant for dinner. Stop at the market for a few things.

8:00 p.m. Read the current Book Club novel or look for a good "On Demand" movie.

10:00 p.m. Check e-mail. Lights out.

What is your perfect day?
