I was 0/3 on DD (in the words of dear departed Alex, “ooh, so close”, though!). For FJ, I said Irving. My wife, though – who decried knowledge of American Lit, saying early British was her thing – said Cooper. Score for her!
I pointed out to my wife about Mike’s height. The platform paradigm they have to equal heights gets busted when there is someone that tall.
Tough Final, only name I could muster was Hawthorne.
Missed first half of show and got only the middle DD. Didn’t know till just now about the reversal. I thought Mike would get that because ADUs are kind of a big deal in Portland. They gave it to him, but the proper word is accessory.
Erin should have wagered $7001. It cost her the 2nd place money.
Mike is without question a big guy as he towers over everybody else. Anyways, I performed somewhat below average in the game, and the F had simply baffled me.
We begin the week with a triple stumper since today’s final was tough.
