What's your favorite thing to do when you want to do... nothing? Or, should we say, when you want to relax and not have to think about work and obligations.

This week we discuss our favorite things to do when it's time to slow down and do something fun. Everyone has their own unique way of "goofing off" and we share with you some of ours.

When was the last time you "chilled?" And what did you do? What's most rejuvenating for you?

Favorite Ways to Waste Time

What would you do with a remote that controls time? Would you use it or destroy it; go into the future or past?

In this week's thought-provoking discussion, we contemplate where in the past we would go, with whom we would visit, and whether it is of any benefit to become aware of, or control, the future.

What would you do with a time remote control? To when would you travel, if at all? Is there a historic event you'd love to see in person? A figure you really want to meet? Family you miss and want to spend time with again? 

Leave us some comments with your thoughts. We'd love for you to join our discussion.

A Remote to Control Time

This week we share with you trivia facts about the quintessential American tradition of Thanksgiving. What has become a day of gluttony, parades, and huge family get-togethers, really began as a humble coming together of hugely diverse cultures. 

Test your Thanksgiving wisdom in this fun WeCast. Maybe you'll learn a few fun facts you can share with your friends and family around the feast table this year.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Here at the WeWan, we would not exist without you. We are very grateful for your participation in our circle.

Thanksgiving Trivia

Are you a night owl? Do you prefer staying up late at night? If so, what do you do in the wee hours when everyone else is snoozing?

This week we talk about our own proclivity to be up late at night – both working and playing. Many people are incredibly creative during this time, others simply suffer from insomnia or "brain chatter."

Join us for this chat about circadian rhythm and why some people would rather be awake while others sleep.

How Often Are You Up at 3am?

Happy Holidays from the WeWan! We are now solidly into the holiday season, with Chanukah having just begun, solstice and Christmas coming up soon. 

This week we discuss the commercialization of this holiday gift gifting season and how we might reset our thinking. Ideas on how to bring the holidays back to a more simple time, with focus on what we are celebrating and why.

Join us this week for an interesting and thought-provoking conversation about getting back to the basics during this season of joy and family.

The Holiday Season... Getting Back to the Basics

Winter Solstice occurs on late on Friday December 21 this year which makes December 22 the first full day of winter in the northern hemisphere. It has ancient roots in many cultural traditions worldwide.

Who celebrates it? Why? How? What is its history and connection to Christian celebrations? And what other cultures and peoples continue to celebrate it even today.

Our discussion this week is all about the longest night of the year, when people around the world welcome the return of the Sun. Days will grow longer, and spring will inch its way closer and closer after this, the darkest night of the year.

Winter Solstice... Good Yule!

Staying on the topic of holidays, the whole month of December – this week we discuss our favorite holidays of the year and... get back to the topic of food! 

Every holiday has certain foods associated with it – from burgers and hot dogs on July 4th to Christmas cookies on Christmas – and everyone has their favorite.

Join us for a fun discussion of our favorites. Which holidays excited us the most as kids, and what food did our families bring as lifelong tradition to our celebrations.
