    2019 – what a year it was. We’ve seen Alex Trebek’s fight of cancer, James Holzhauer, Emma Boettcher, and Francois Barcomb.

    Wow that 5900 dollar bet from bill on that daily double didn’t work out the way he wanted it to. and I thought that he had a shot at replacing Karen as champion but glad our opponents got final right. And congrats to Karen on her fourth consecutive win. She might be our next 5th game streaker since Sam Kavanaugh. Also would it be acceptable to write the full Swanson Tv dinner for the response in final VJ? Butterball wasn’t a bad guess but still, I wonder if the tv dinners are still in use today. And oh happy new years to you VJ and to your family. Wishing you all the best of 2020!

      well, sure, Lou. You can get anything and everything from White Castle to family-size dinners in frozen foods these days. I’m pretty sure they would have accepted Swanson TV dinner. As it was, they accepted Swanson’s.

      Hope you and everyone else has a great New Year’s Eve!
