That is, there are more than usual in this post!
I’ve been wanting this for a while, but I’m giving you the option of following by e-mail, on the right. Ideally this will go under the “subscribe” tab above, but I don’t know how to do that myself and the one guy I have doesn’t seem like he’s going to do it. If anyone knows how, please contact me.
Did anybody watch Preston Nicholson on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire today? How as it? Here I am with Preston at the Battle of the Decades taping last week. I think I was eating a piece of an orange that Jerome handed me. Thanks to Bill MacDonald for the picture.
Andy tells me that Keith Williams ran the Boston Marathon today, and that his time was 2:53:02. Go Keith!
Andy also tells me his book is available in Kindle, Nook and Kobo formats, as well as from the Google Play bookstore. Here’s a link if you want it: A’s Bad as It Gets: Connie Mack’s Pathetic Athletics of 1916
I’ll also put one on the right for you to access easily in the future.
For posterity, I’d like to post the results of my “Who will win the Battle of the Decades?” poll. I’m pleased with the number of responses. One hundred twenty four people voted, and for this blog that’s pretty good. Give yourselves a round of applause.

And the results of “Who will be the alternate,” even though you and I now know there was one from each decade. Thirty-four people voted on this one:
My Coryat for the weekend rerun was 29200 (31400 without negs). It originally aired 1-16-13. The first time I played, my score was 25400 (32000 without negs).
Appearing on the show this week:
James Behrens – San Diego, CA
Hilary Gaughen – Lakeside, CA
Donna Innes – Kalamazoo, MI
Zia Jones – Lake Forest, CA
Dilip Rajagopalan – Newtown Square, PA
Grace Riley – Fort Smith, AR
Aimee Seligstein – Memphis, TN
Brad Wright – Spartanburg, SC
And today’s contestants:
Kris Voss
Frederique Delapree
Julia Collins
Mr. Trebek reminded us that the Explore the World Sweepstakes is back on. Today, a trip to the Galapagos is being given away.
Frederique found the Daily Double of the round in The Captain.
Frederique 1400 (2 right)
Julia 1800 (3 right)
Kris -400 (One wrong)
Frederique wagered 500 (?) on this clue: “Sparking a debate about women in combat, in 1989 U.S. capt. Linda Bray led troops under fire during the invasion of this country.” Frederique and I got it wrong.
This next clue, in the same category, was one I expect everyone to know but me, but it was a triple-stumper. Read by Jimmy: “Here’s a replica of the Half-Moon, the ship on which this explorer sailed in search of the Northeast Passage in 1609.”
I got this triple-stumper in The Crew: “In ‘The Ox-bow Incident,’ Mapes says, ‘Rustlers got Kinkaid this morning…there’s’ a this group ‘forming.'” I negged on the next 2 clues though! Then came the first break.
Frederique 1900 (One right)
Julia 800 (2 right and 2 wrong)
Kris -200 (One right and one wrong)
There were 9 clues left when Mr. Trebek gave the less-than-a-minute warning. 🙁 I’d have swept The First Mate, I’m sure, but 4 of those were left covered.
Frederique 3900 (4 right)
Julia 1600 (3 right)
Kris 800 (One right)
Believe it or not, the first Daily Double of Double Jeopardy was found in Man Candy. It was Kris’s to play.
Frederique 5900 (3 right)
Julia 5600 (3 right)
Kris 2400 (One right)
Kris wagered 2000 on this clue: “This candy bar was named for what girls said to the boy who came to the candy factory to flirt with them.” I got this right but Kris didn’t. He drew a laugh with his response of “Hey Baby.”
Frederique found the next Daily Double in The National Park System.
Frederique 6300 (One right and one wrong)
Julia 6000 (One right)
Kris 0 (One right and one wrong)
Frederique wagered 1500 on this clue: “275-foot General Sherman is found in this national park.”
She and I got it right.
Here’s another one I’d have thought everyone would know but me, in Less-Than-Genteel Men of History: “In the 1990s divers off the Carolina coast found the wreck of the Queen Anne’s Revenge, captained by this pirate.” This time, I knew it though!
This time there were 6 clues left when Mr. Trebek gave the less-than-a-minute warning. Unfortunately, 2 clues were left covered.
Frederique 7800
Julia 8000 (4 right and one wrong)
Kris 5200 (4 right)
The Final Jeopardy category is Historic Groups. This is the clue: “With fewer than 10 member cities in attendance, this association based in Lubeck held its last assembly in 1669.” Kris was wrong and lost 3000. Frederique and I were right, and she added 7300. Julia was right too and added 7605. That’s enough to make her the new champion! And I don’t have to update the ToC list.
My Coryat today was 18400 (23400 without negs). 🙁
