Used to watch Jeopardy - the Art Fleming days -- with my grandmother many many moons ago...it was her favorite show. I was a well read nerdy kid & could answer a lot of the answers...more brain cells back then. 😉 Trebek was an icon of positivism. Making it to 80 is not so bad. We all should be so lucky (my Dad worked until he was 81, died at 82). Hope life is treating you well in Man Jose. Must be nice having the Mrs. around in these days of semi-isolation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure Jeopardy was an all time favorite of mine, about 10 years ago they had a category of "British Progressive Bands" I about died when one of the questions was " In 1973, this band recorded the album entitled Tales From Topographic Oceans"? Well of course it was "Yes" nobody knew the answer. Winterland 1974 was that albums tour, I was there, and forever a die hard Yes Fan...seems like yesterday. Wifey is fine, yep nice to have around....except trying to explain to her the "Electoral College" vote in America.....after about an hour, I was going to see if you could score me 20 "Fentanyl" from one of your connections up in the city. I figure 20 would take care of it LOL! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
