This is the forty-fifth installment in my sorta weekly series, called the Friday Five. In this series, I’ll tell you about five random things that I love, whether they be books, travel, music, movies…or whatever. So without further ado, 5-28-2021’s Friday Five!

1–Fooling Yourself. This video of Tommy Shaw and student string players and choir doing Fooling Yourself (The Angry Young Man) is so, so wonderful! It brings me such joy! Seriously, it’s worth your time to give it a listen.

2–Pink Senoritas. Coming up on a long holiday weekend, this drink recipe may be just what you (and I!) need.

3–Rattlin Bog. I’ve been reading a lot about Ireland this month, with my reading challenge being Frank McCourt books. This little video clip of a tune sung at 5am at an Irish wedding was just right in line with that.

4–Tiger King. Does anyone even remember this show? It dropped on Netflix a year ago, and for awhile it was all that anyone could talk about (besides COVID, of course). In scrolling through some fun internet things that I’d saved, I came across some hilarious Tiger King tweets again. These tweets just cracked me up all over again.

5–Female Author Home Tours. I’ve been looking for an easy summer getaway plan. Maybe touring some female authors’ homes is that plan. This article details six of them.
