Blogging from A to Z — the letter Q

-

 Q is for quizmaster.




I have been a fan of Jeopardy!  since it was a daytime show hosted by Art Fleming.  I cried when Alex Trebek died.

And now I spend 5 nights a week watching Trebek’s heir host the game he once played.  Who could forget Ken Jennings’ remarkable 74 day winning streak?  Or his friendship with Trebek?  

Don’t misunderstand.  I like Mayim Bialik, she also does a good job hosting the show.  But Jennings is Trebek’s heir, he’s the one with the long-standing relationship to the show, he’s the one most comfortable on the Alex Trebek stage.  He’s the one I want to see when I turn on the tv and hear Johnny Gilbert announce: “And here is the host of Jeopardy!”

Watching Ken Jennings makes me happy.

    I like Jeopardy, but for some reason don't watch it anymore. I don't watch much TV, so there's the reason! Nice Q!

    Yes, nice "Q". I was in the audience at one of the original Jeopardys (with Art Fleming) in June of 1971. I've been a fan from the beginning. I was not totally sure of Ken Jennings at the beginning but he has grown into the role. And, one of my high school/college friends was a one time Jeopardy champion about nine years ago.

    Yeah, I like how Jennings does the gig. I think it's fitting as he really couldn't win anything else. He might as well host. (And now he can't compete due to being associated with the show.)

    I also like trivia. Our local community theater the Pearl. Now has Trivial night. I haven't gone.
    Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in ...

Saturday 9

  Blame It on the Bossa Nova Welcome to Saturday: 9 . What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love to  answer the questions, however, and here is today's questions! Saturday 9: Blame It on the Bossa Nova (1963) Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it  here . Funny you should mention Eydie.  She’s sort of a relative.  My late mother-in-law always said that she and Eydie were cousins.  Eydie was a Sephardic Jew, as was my mother-in-law, so I have no reason to doubt the connection,  so I guess you can say my kids are related to Eydie,   Eydie and Neil Sedaka were cousins, but I’m not sure if Neil was related to my moth...
