TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, December 28, 2011

Greetings Infomaniacs,

Well, this weekend we will celebrate ringing in the new year. It's hard to believe that 2011 is already on its way out. Anyone have any big plans for New Year's Eve?

My boyfriend and I don't have any plans this year. I think we'll be relaxing on the couch watching television and having a glass of wine. Sounds good to me! Have a safe and happy new year everyone!

Enjoy!
Melissa

*** Weekly Mind-Scrambler ***
I am around long before dawn.
But by lunch I am usually gone.
You can see me summer, fall, and spring.
I like to get on everything.
But when winter winds start to blow;
Burr, then it's time for me to go!
What am I?
