Howdy. Yup, that's all I've got and by the way, nothing rhymes with October.

Feel free to post a photo or video for any answer.

1) If you have an 8:00A medical appointment in your town or city, for what time do you need to set your alarm clock to have enough time to get ready, do whatever you usually do in the morning and arrive at your appointment on time?


2) If you have any watches, describe the one you wear the most.
Did you purchase it yourself or was it a gift?


3) For as long you have lived in your current town or city, has your town or city ever had a curfew?
What was it for? (examples: bad weather condition, crime-related, war, health-related, vampires , other)


4) Name 5 books, movies, short stories, poems or songs (or any combination of those categories) that has a time (example: one o’clock) or the word “Time” in the title.

Which of the 5 have you seen, read or listened to?

Which time-related look-up is the one you do most frequently?


7) Have you ever taken the annual cognitive test (some doctors call them annual wellness check-ups) at your doctor’s office that in addition to answering questions, requires you to draw a clock face with the hands of the clock depicting a particular time?
If yes, do you draw an elaborate one to impress your doctor or nurse with either your artistic skill and/or attention to detail? C'mon, you can tell us.

THE QUESTIONS

Howdy. Yup, that's all I've got and by the way, nothing rhymes with October.
How about "It's October/And I'm not sober?"
Feel free to post a photo or video for any answer.

1) If you have an 8:00A medical appointment in your town or city, for what time do you need to set your alarm clock to have enough time to get ready, do whatever you usually do in the morning and arrive at your appointment on time?
It depends on where the doctor is located. My primary care physician is 10 minutes away, but I would have to allow at least 30 minutes if the physician is downtown.

2) If you have any watches, describe the one you wear the most.
Did you purchase it yourself or was it a gift?
I have several watches, but I don't wear any of them. Ever since I broke my left wrist 10 years ago, watches don't feel comfortable anymore. If I need to know what time it is, I look at my smart phone.

3) For as long you have lived in your current town or city, has your town or city ever had a curfew?
What was it for? (examples: bad weather condition, crime-related, war, health-related, vampires , other)
I have lived in San Francisco for nearly 50 years, but I don't remember any curfews.

4) Name 5 books, movies, short stories, poems or songs (or any combination of those categories) that has a time (example: one o’clock) or the word “Time” in the title.

1. "Till the End of Time" (1946 film)
2. "Time" (song by Pink Floyd)
3. "Time of the Season" (song by the Zombies)
4. "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" (1944 film)
5. "It Only Takes a Minute Girl" (song by Tavares)

Which of the 5 have you seen, read or listened to?
All of them.

Which one of the 5 do you like the most?
"Time of the Season." Great song.

5) What games or sports have you participated in where either as an individual or a team, time figured into your final score and/or setting a record?
None. I did play on my company's women's softball team, but I wasn't very good.

6) When is the last time you looked up on your computer or phone the time something, opens, closes, when an event starts, when a plane departs or arrives, when the bad weather starts during the day, etc.)?
I checked my calendar to verify the time of an appointment.

Which time-related look-up is the one you do most frequently?
Since I don't wear a watch, I check the time several times a day.

7) Have you ever taken the annual cognitive test (some doctors call them annual wellness check-ups) at your doctor’s office that in addition to answering questions, requires you to draw a clock face with the hands of the clock depicting a particular time?
If yes, do you draw an elaborate one to impress your doctor or nurse with either your artistic skill and/or attention to detail? C'mon, you can tell us.
No, I'm familiar with the test, but I've never been asked to take one because at age 74 I'm still tarp as a shack.

OTHER

8) Off of the top of your head, do you know whose tombstone says “That’s All Folks” or would you have to look it up?
Yes, and I have his autobiography, "That's Not All, Folks."

Thanks, LauraC!
