Saturday 9 - New Year's Day

 

This week's tune? Hear it here.

 

1. In the lyrics, Taylor Swift promises she'll not only be there for the party, but for the clean up afterward. As we say move on from the holiday season, could your home benefit from a thorough cleaning? 
   
   No. Just the regular will do.
   
   
2. This song describes a party where guests took Polaroid pictures. Have you ever owned a Polaroid camera? Do you have one now?
   
   No. Not a Polaroid.
   
   
3. Taylor sings that we should "hold on to memories." What special memory from 2025 memory will you hang onto?
   
   Meeting again with my British friends.
   
   
4. Taylor Swift grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania. Have you taken your tree, or other holiday decorations, down yet? If you didn't decorate at all, let us know that, too.
   
   I hardly decorated this year.
   But nothing will be taken down until february.
   
   
5. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement but no wedding date has been shared. Do you anticipate attending any weddings in 2026?
   
   This year...no..
   
   
6. Travis' team, the Kansas City Chiefs, is currently 6-10. Not exactly the record their fans hoped for. According to a 2024 Pew research study, 53% of Americans said football is their favorite sport. Have you watched much football this season? 
   
   I am not american.
   I don't like football.
   So....NO!
   
   
7. In 2017, when "New Year's Day" was released, Wonder Woman was a hit at the box office. While Wonder Woman's superhero abilities vary depending on which TV show, movie or comic book you refer to, some of her powers remain consistent: a) immense strength, b) superhuman speed, c) the ability to almost instantly recover/heal from injury. Which would you like to possess – a, b, or c?
   
   C.
   Let's go!!
   
   
8. Have you made any New Year's resolutions for 2026?
   
   Not really. But I want to take care of my health. And do more whaat I want, instead of what others want from me.
   
   Oh..and I want to finish the education book for medical students and working doctors.
   That's not a resolution, it's a plan.
   
   
9. What was the first thing to make you laugh in 2026?
   
   Us being bored with our national change of years, and then celebrating with the friends in the England and Scotland... Singing Auld Lang Syne as loud as possible.
