Surveys

This week is considered for a lot of us to be a return to "normal".  It's back to school, back to work, back from vacation, everything.  And for me, since the holidays were so crazy busy and full of people and food and stuff, I didn't get a chance to really sit back and think.

Lake Superior State University in Sault Saint Marie, Michigan releases a list every year of words that need to be BANNED, based on thousands of nominations from people around the world.

Every day I rack my brain to try to think of things for you and I to talk about.  I see what I do on the air as a way of conversing with you - but most of the time it's just me talking.  So with our surveys, I ask, and you answer.

As is the case every year, 2014 had its share of blockbusters, bombs, and surprises at the box office.

It's time for New Year's resolutions . . . the one-week period where we all set goals for 2014, and somehow manage to break them by next Monday.

Christmas Day may be behind us, but it's time to look at when do you decide to take down the Christmas decorations, whether they are inside or outside. I have traditionally taken Christmas decorations down the weekend after New Year's Day...

New Year’s Eve – a time for revelry, chicanery or, if you’re the reserved type, peace and quiet.

Every day, I look for new topics to discuss in our Enquiring Minds surveys. Sometimes it's about a crazy story, sometimes it's about a current event, sometimes it's about the season at hand... it varies based on whatever pops up.

I'm sure a lot of you are getting ready for some tasty treats today.  There may be a few jokes about fruitcake.  Maybe people DON'T hate fruitcake as much as you think.  In a new survey of people's favorite Christmas desserts, fruitcake only finished behind cookies and eggnog.  It beat out candy canes and gingerbread.
