Oh, hey, it's that spoon that doesn't match any of your other spoons and you have no idea how it got there

Or if any of your spoons are somewhere in a stranger's drawer alleyward and we're here the week after Thanksgiving

It's the start of Hanukkah. It's a month before new years so many holidays in between but this week

This week is a special one. It's black and marine science week or bimbs week
