1. What's one thing on your to-do list that you want to get done, need to get done, or that must get done before the year ends? 

Well it has been hard for me this year but I did get the Christmas tree done. I'm not putting out a lot but trying my best. I do need to wrap presents too!

2.  December 17th is National Maple Syrup Day...are you a fan? Do you like maple flavor in other food items such as candy, cookies, donuts, oatmeal, hot toddies, coffee? 

I like maple syrup but don't use it very often. I can't say that I remember that flavor in any of those other things. 

3. Time magazine names a person of the year every year.  The tradition started back in 1927 with a 'man of the year' but has since changed to recognize not only an individual, but also to consider the impact of a group, movement, or idea that most influenced the year. The selection is not always someone or something good (think Hitler in 1938 and Stalin twice). 

This year they've named The AI Architects as their 'person of the year'. What say you? Is this a good choice, an obvious choice, a logical choice? Who do you think should have been named person of the year? 

I say no to that. I don't like AI, I don't use it and I'm very concerned about James' life with that in it. I can't really think of anyone or can't say who I would like it to be. 

4. What's a city, state, or country you've visited that you never care to visit again? Tell us why. 

We certainly don't like going into Los Angeles. Right now I would say because of all the homeless people. 

5. Next Sunday (December 21st) marks the first day of winter (or the opposite if you're living down under). What's one thing you love about this new season? 

For us our weather gets a little cooler but we have some good weather year-round. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Mark brought me home this poinsettia.

Adam, Gabby, James and Gabby's mom Isa were in San Francisco over the weekend. Gabby had business there during the week and Adam, James and Isa joined her there on Friday. 

James loves their chocolate.

GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU

I want to apologize for not getting around to visit everyone.
