I don't know if anyone else has watched Jeopardy in the past 6 weeks or so, but there's this guy that has been on the show for 33 days and won over 1 million dollars. I don't watch it every day, but it's on frequently in the house during the rare moments when the Tour de France is not on. I find it a rather curious coincidence that just as soon as they changed the rules so that a contestant can stay on the show for more than 5 days, some guy comes along and stays on for at least a month and a half. The same thing happened on a similar quiz show in the 1950s, and it turned out that the people in charge of the television station were giving the guy answers ahead of time in order to get their ratings up.  Sounds a little fishy to me. Oh well, if a scandal breaks out, you heard it from me first. If he really is just abnormally good at trivia, then I guess I'm just a cynical person.
 
Sorry nothing interesting to say. Except we might actually be going on a family vacation this week for the first time in five years. I'm not sure where we're going. Probably somewhere in North Carolina. My family tends to plan vacations a day or two before we're supposed to leave. We pretty much just pack up the night before or the morning of the trip and go. So, I suppose I'll find out what's going on later this week. Or we might just stay home. Who knows. My family is crazy when it comes to planning things.
 
I feel as though my electronic dictionary/thesaurus has been underappreciated all these years. I just want to say thank you for telling me the definition of ubiquitous and garrulous. Don't worry little buddy, you're not dying, I just bought you new batteries today, you're going to be just fine.
 
Ok, I'm feeling really random, so here's a quote for you from some book of inspirational quotes I got for Christmas a few years ago.
"Even a fly doesn't get a slap on the back until he starts to work."
Now if that doesn't motivate you, I don't know what will.
