Difficult.

Tough day, as these things go.

Wrote a difficult email I'd been putting off for awhile and sent it. Wrote another one I'd been putting off even longer and didn't send it. Both of these seem to be the right decision.

Watched a baseball-blogging Friend lose a difficult game on Jeopardy! last night, but was thrilled to see how close she came to winning. She had a slow start and was way behind going into the final round, but first and second place were only a few bucks apart and she wagered zero on the Final Jeopardy question, leapfrogging her over #2 when he also got it wrong and bet everything. If the evil genius champion had gotten it wrong, he bet enough to guard against #2 that Emma woulda won.  Unfortunately, he got it.

Here, try it yourself, in the category Anniversaries and Farewells-





The cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2, and I only knew that because it was launched the same year my niece was born.


Way to represent, grrl:) Plus, she was incredibly gracious about it on FB within minutes of its airing (never saying a word for the almost two months since taping); in fact, she let Weird Al tell it for her:

Watch on YouTube

Meanwhile, pre-order her book, even if it isn't in the form of a question.

Long, if not as difficult, a day on tap tomorrow, beginning ass-early in Assier County. What is, "goodnight."?

I would've got it, but it would've been a total guess.

We almost had it, left out the 2, which would have made it wrong, we watch Jeopardy every night

I got that!

Really, what the hell else but the QE II could it have been?

Also -- I so love that he not only got Art Fleming and Don Pardo, but Greg Khin.

I didn't get it.

I, too, have a friend that lost on Jeopardy. He was a fellow band geek of mine in high school. Now he is a professional student. Seriously. I'm not even sure how many degrees he has.
