I almost never ask yes-no questions here, but they seem appropriate this week for some reason.

1. Has the death of a famous person (not connected to you personally) ever made you cry?
2. Have you ever sent money as relief aid after a disaster?
3. How will the recent declaration affirming alcoholic beverages as cancer-causing affect your consumption?
4. What is the most bizarre (or difficult to understand) movie you’ve seen?
5. How willing and able are you to separate art from artist when a musican, actor, writer, or other creator is discovered to have behaved very badly?

Thanks for participating, and have a wonderful, safe weekend. I am a sucker for a new year (doubly, because my birthday is in the first week of the month), and cannot help but feel this is going to be a great year for us all, filled with joy, kindness, and peace, which I wish for you in abundance.

Woooo am I late with these. I’ve had a truly nasty cold since two Tuesdays ago and it’s driving me kind of insane. I was supposed to see Wicked last week with a person I’m trying to get to know — it would have been our first alone time: we were going to have breakfast , catch the late-morning flick, and then walk to a bookstore nearby — but your friend was still coughing like the old geezer he’s turning into, so that didn’t happen.

The musical-loving bookworm took her mom instead, minus the bagels and bookstore.

However, with two weeks left in the year and plenty of time to make it a memorable 2024, this is happening now, about a day late. Yeesh.

1. What were your favorite TV series this year?
2. What were your favorite movies this year?
3. What was the most memorable meal you had this year?
4. Who made you laugh most this year?
5. When were you the farthest from home this year?

Thanks for participating, and have a comfy, safe weekend!

I understand there are still three weeks left in the year, but if were to end right now:

1. What’s the best song you heard for the first time in 2024?
2. How would you summarize 2024 in one song lyric?
3. Where did you hear the best live music of any kind, performed by musicians of any age or talent?
4. Whose music did you listen to most?
5. What was the most compelling music-related news or event of 2024?

Thanks for participating, and have a melodious, safe weekend!
