#atozchallenge: Z is for Jay-Z

April 30, 2016 By C. Lee McKenzie

Here’s to a great AtoZ!

Join in the FUN.

So that’s a rap! Another #atozChallenge has been completed by many intrepid bloggers around the blog-o-sphere. And me, too! Pat on back. And kudos. And where’s the Champagne? I’ll be back to regular blogging which means: Mondays. And I’ll be responding to comments on my blog again. Here’s to a wonderful May!

Answers to your T/F Quiz for Y:

FALSE 1. Generation Y people weren’t born in the ’60s and 70s. They were born between the 1980s and the year 2000. They’re sometimes referred to as the Millennial Generation, or simply Millennials. 

TRUE  2. Sr Sánchez, like so many people born during the Russian era have Russian names, and a lot of them involve Y.

Okay, I had to reach for this one, so as if anyone cares, Jay-Z and Beyonce visited Cuba. Police had to provide escort and protection from an adoring mob. 

Global contamination. 

Sorry for the editorial comment. 

I gots no quiz for this one. But hallelujah I reached Z!

    Congrats on completing the A to Z! These 2 people are getting on my nerves especially if she is using her songs to make people think they are splitting when it may be all a stunt to sell her music and make money which is gross.
