Sometimes when a person is gone, it takes a little time to become accustomed to their parting. Alex's last broadcast was last night. It was followed by a short tribute film of his history on Jeopardy. I know lots have been written about him since his passing. But seeing him leave the stage one final time was sobering if not crushing. My kids, my mother in law, Shannon especially never missed this show. It was a 7:30 staple for us. I think we only viewed Pat and Vanna to get ready for the show we really wanted. I tried to get the questions correct and occasionally was successful, but most times not. I loved the teacher's tournaments with clips of the cheering students and the kid tournaments always amazed at how much knowledge those young minds possessed. With all the press around him, nothing negative only that he was a nice guy and very regular and a steady hand at his job. Ken will be a suitable host but his clipped speech will not earn him a permanent spot.
Watched "Mr. Mayor" via streaming service last night. This show has possibilities. Danson is intuitive in his part especially with dealing with his daughter. Might be worth a look.
Have been conversing via messenger with my cousin in Australia. Trying to explain the recent events in Washington. She thought 45 won the majority of the vote in 2016 and that there was no racism in America. She basically said that 45 has damaged the view of us around the world. I did not try to explain the Electoral College to her and told her to goggle it. We have a lot of rebuilding to do to repair the damage that was created in the last 4 years.
all for now
