Show will be on late most of the next two weeks due to sports. Darned if I forgot to watch/record tonight. Knew the author of FJ and guessed the right novel. First DD pretty easy. The business stumper was practically a giveaway with the two word clues. I liked the French phrases but missed the middle one. They must have hit all of them because none are listed as stumpers. I’d have guessed that that high-$ one would’ve stumped them, unless someone really knew French.
Peter got all the French Phrases except for the $400 clue. He apologized for his pronunciation of the $2000 clue, though it wasn’t that bad.
I have no idea how I knew that Fitz stumper about the insurrection, but it just popped right out as opposed to thinking a few seconds, then guessing. Weird!!
