Jeopardy

Alex Trebek was in our area yesterday taping a segment for an upcoming category on Jeopardy.  I didn’t know about it until it was all over.  If you’re interested, you can read about it here.

I used to watch Jeopardy All. The. Time.  And I used to be pretty good playing along with the contestants.  I don’t watch much TV now and when I do, it’s not the time when Jeopardy is on.  In fact there are days that go by when we don’t even turn on the TV. 

When I was in college, my roommate and I would watch the show and play along and we’d even keep score.  The loser washed the dishes.  The show came on at 12:30 in the afternoon.  I’d get back to our apartment after my morning classes and we’d sit and watch the show while we ate lunch.  One day Jane was answering ALL the questions correctly and I thought something was up.  Later she confessed that the same show came on another network earlier and she watched so she knew all the answers.

Grosgrain

Sorry for being silent for the past several days.  Nothing exciting to report, just life.  Regular life stuff.

Thank you all for commenting about stabilizing the front button band.  I will try option 1 and sew grosgrain ribbon behind the buttons hoping that will solve the uncomfortable feeling like it’s gaping open.  As usual, I don’t have the right ribbon in my sewing room so I’ll have to buy some either today or tomorrow.

This striped ribbon would be nice but I won’t find anything like this where I live.  I’ve already looked.

We’ve been invited to a retirement dinner Friday evening for six, count ’em SIX, of Mr. Aitch’s former co-workers that are retiring this year.  That’s a lot of teachers for a small school.  I have to hem a new pair of Mr. Aitch’s pants before then and I want to wear my Peony Twist Cardi so sewing the ribbon on is vital if I wear the sweater.  I may have to come up with Plan B if I don’t get the ribbon sewn on.  Mr. Aitch’s pants come first…this time.  He doesn’t have a Plan B.
