    Good game, sharp players, multiple leaders.
    That JFK DD was tough, but I did know the name of that book.
    I did not expect them to know the baseball guy. He was known as “The Lip” and hobnobbed with Sinatra’s crowd. Sports is one of those categories in which a knowledgeable player can run the table if the others are clueless.

    I got FJ. It’s weird – wasn’t intuitive, but it came to me like that.

    I was transferred to rehab today. Hope for one week. It’s looking good!!

    We all came up with Genghis Khan for FJ, but Alexander the Great was likely the greatest general in any age.

    This is another easy/bad Final. I did not know for sure the answer is ‘Alexander the Great’, but that was the only name I could think of, so I backed into the correct answer. I have been hating these recent Finals.
