Someone once asked me why I want you, dear reader, to ask me anything, and I mean anything. It’s because I tend to write about what I’m comfortable writing about, unsurprisingly. I’m hoping that you will ask me things that may not be in my comfort zone. Certainly, I want you to ask me things that I would not have thought to have answered.
It’s also the case that I really like presents, but the ones that didn’t cost any money, but do require some heart, are just as important to me. I do like surprises, usually.
As always, you can ask anything. I must answer, though I may obfuscate. In fact, for some questions, you can pretty much count on it.
I’ll be answering your questions over the next couple of weeks, assuming the Mayan apocalypse doesn’t take place.
Meanwhile:
That Ben Stein ‘Confessions for the Holidays’ thing floating around the Internet is only partially true.
Wizard of Oz Christmas ornaments.
Flash Mob – Ode an die Freude ( Ode to Joy) from Beethoven Symphony No.9.

Oh, and you are welcome to join ABC Wednesday, which I have been doing for six and a half rounds now. It’ll be back to the letter A in mid-January, not that you need to wait until then. And if you have a suggestion for me to write an ABC Wednesday post, I would consider your suggestions.
Okay, I haven’t participated in awhile, so: If you could pick one thing to do that you haven’t yet done in your life, what would it be and why? It could be a single event (bungy jumping in Skippers Canyon), or it could be a project or process. I’m interested in what you haven’t done that you’d like to do/wish you could do.
How do you feel about the NRA’s idea of having guns in every school, you being a parent. I think they are vile and evil,
two questions…
1) what are some of the books that you’ve wanted to read but never got around to reading because of whatever reason or circumstance?
2) “Fortunate Son” or “The Weight”?
I see the question’s already asked, but: Guns. What on Earth to do about them?
If Lennon hadn’t been shot in 1980, do you think there would eventually have been a Beatles reunion? If so, what form? A one-shot performance at something like Live-Aid? A new album?
Whose post-Beatles material do you prefer, Lennon’s or McCartney’s? (Wow, I just wrote that as “McCarthy”. I have GOT to get politics out of my brain.)
I’m sure you HAVE to have done this in the past, as prolific as your blogging is, but how about a tour of your Christmas tree? Favorite ornaments and such? (If you have a tree, that is.)
