    The players are more relaxed with Ken as host. Ken never got annoyed in the least when the players missed three in a row in the ‘Actors’ category. That is so welcome and refreshing a quality to have in a host. Ken is the best.

    Great categories today and congrats to all on.the triple solve. Hopefully Brian has gotten his confidence back and keep the winning going. Speaking of the gold rush, do you remember Dawson from the Yukon trail, VJ? They had a lot of people trying to stake gold as a claim. I wonder if any of them actually found gold in Nevada or Sacramento?

    Kind of a sloppy game with so many misses and triple stumpers, but I was impressed at the FJ triple-solve, with so many people not even knowing the capitals of CA and NV.

    So funny that they had that “Don’t You (Forget About Me)” category today with their 80s songs theme.

    I was singing that to my brother on the phone last night after I invited him to dinner and told him to write it on the calendar.
