Yeah, and I always liked Art Fleming better anyway. He had this way of
saying "No, I'm sorry." when a contestant lost that still sticks in my head.
It was obviously distinctive, or I wouldn't be remembering it still.

Hi, Kasondra. It sounds like an interesting book. Actually, Ken Jennings and
the whole Jeopardy thing kind of got on my
nerves back then, actually. It was too predictable and after he won so many
rounds, I didn't even want to watch it anymore.
The excitement was gone for me, but that's just me. I'm sure other people
were thrilled with it. I wasn't. I wish they would
have just kept the rules the way they always had been instead of trying to
compete with shows like WHO WANTS TO BE A
MILLIONAIRE. What's wrong with a show being individual? <smile> Anyway, it
does sound like an interesting book and I'll
probably read it just to see what he says. Take care.

Hey Guys,
I was greeted at 4:30 this morning by an interview about a new book. Ken Jennings, the great Jeopardy game show master has finally written a book. It is called Brainiac: Adventures in the Curious, Competitive, Compulsive World of Trivia Buffs. I drowsily listened to the interview while wishing I could meet Ken. Wouldn’t you know it, but I looked in my inbox this morning and found an email with an announcement of a book signing by Ken Jennings at a bookstore in another city. I am clearing my calendar for Saturday September 30, and we are going to drive the 2 and ½ hours to Orem , Utah for this book signing. My husband doesn’t know this, but he will go along with it. I am about as excited about this book as I would be for Harry Potter. You all know how much I love Jeopardy, and this guy was the best. I want to be just like him. I will buy his book, and it will probably be the first book I scan when I get K1000. This is my project, so nobody else scan this book. Who wants to validate?
