Let’s travel with Lemuel Gulliver, play a bit of Little League baseball, hang out with Jessica Fletcher, and remember a pumpkin-centered nursery rhyme. On a somber note, let’s revisit FDR's famous “Day of Infamy” speech whose opening lines are given here. “Yesterday, December 7, 1941, a date which will live in infamy, the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

Today, we consider the amazing election of an American pope, remember our grandmother’s trading stamps, map part of the U.S. coastline, ponder the famous Edward VIII abdication and conclude by recognizing an English queen who mightn't have thought so highly of Edward VIII.

trivia-themed presentations.

We remember an iconic Motel 6 commercial closing line, consider French commas and English forward slashes, visit Narnia, and take a sentimental journey. A noted master painter of the Dutch Golden Age wonders if a stolen seascape of his will ever be recovered. Music by Melissa Goldsmith. Addendum: And I wonder if my audio presentation is remotely caffeinated enough. I suspect the slogan “decaf Trivia to Soothe your Brain” would not be nearly so catchy. But we shall see if I decide to shift it come Season 4. Stay tuned.
