1. It's 17 days until Christmas. How do you feel about that?
A mixture of excitement and dread. Slight dread at some of the forced merriment, but looking forward to seeing others, and just having a bit of a rest when the day finally arrives.
2. It's the second night of Hanukkah. How do you feel about that?
I'll be honest, I've not really thought of it (not Jewish).
3. It's Howie Hawkins's birthday. Have you wished him a happy birthday yet?
Sadly, I don't know who he is.
4. John Lennon died on this date in 1980. Your reaction?
Not much on the day really, as I was a baby at the time.
5. Beethoven's 7th Symphony premiered in Vienna with Beethoven conducting, on this day in 1813. Can you hum any part of the 7th?
I honestly don't know which one that is. Is that the da-da-da-dum, da-da-da-dum one?
