WEEKS TURN INTO MONTHS

Remember when you were celebrating the new year, some 11 months ago and now it’s almost Christmas time again? Along came Covid-19 and cancelled everything in it’s way. 2020 will enter history as “the year that never happened”. Something our children will learn about in history books (if people still read books by then) and imagine it was like when months were renamed during the French Revolution, or how the Russian October Revolution took place in November, or when they simply skipped 11 days of October in 1582. Except now it will have been 11 months instead… if we’re lucky.

At least we have our lovely internet and zoom calls to make up for all the social distancing and make time pass us by in a split second. Thanks to that, I got to have a second chance the “Depeche Mode Jeopardy Holiday Special”, promoted by Ron Rohm from the Depeche Mode Global Fan Group coordinated with the always incredible Jenna Robbins, and competing against two strong participants: my fellow “Spirits in the Forest” co-star Dicken Schrader of DMK and Brent Meyer from Strangelove the Depeche Mode Experience. And while we’re at it, the Home website now also has a group along with the already existing FB page. Yes, it seems like a lot of us have a lot more time to spend on the internet these days. So tune in for an hour of Depeche Mode trivia. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
