Whee! Another chance to play Jeopardy! How cool is that! Who woulda thunk it--especially since I lost on my first show. The game had one of those rare but significant technical glitches, though, so I got to come back for another try. The Masters tournament was the best--I got to hang out with all my Jeopardy! heroes, not to mention staying at the Waldorf-Astoria and being treated like a rock star. No question, Jeopardy! is the most fun I've ever had, except for Fred Burrell; we got married on New Year's Day 2000. Our favorite thing to do--with plenty of help from Jeopardy! winnings--is to travel around in our PT Cruiser. We've now been in all of the Lower 48 states together, plus the Maritime Provinces, and are looking forward to doing western Canada and Alaska soon. Haven't figured out how to drive to Hawaii yet, but we're working on it! |
