After a short leader curse, Eric broke it and built momentum. Congrats to all the players on the triple solve despite our champion missing that daily double. I really hope Eric can keep his wins going for next week. There was an episode of Law and order that has a similar title to this book, did you know that, VJ?
No, Lou, I didn’t know that but, looking it up, I can see why — I lost interest in Law & Order by the time Dennis Farina was in it, even though I liked him
I love how Eric shows his victory when he wins and I really loved this clue in the Santa Claus category:
($200) Sinterklaas arrives via boat from Spain (where he lives the rest of the year, why not?) & parades through this Dutch capital
I didn’t know he lived in Spain the rest of the year. lol
