So last night J called me talking about Jeopardy. They're doing the Teen Tournament, and we always get a kick out of it, since we know most of the answers. He took a stab at the final question before it was asked, just off the topic, which was "Animals." He said "Panda." Sure enough, the answer was panda, which we got a good laugh out of.

Tonight, I'm kicking back, watching a little Jeopardy and final Jeopardy came around. Topic: "American Authors." I figured - hell, if it worked for J, I should try it, too. I say, to myself, Hemingway.. It's gotta be Hemingway. Sure enough, after the commercial break, on the board was mention of crossing the Italy-Austria border in 1918 and being there on D-Day... Hemingway.

I know I can't tell him without him me about making it up - why do these things happen in private?

(Of course, I was using the logic of, who is someone high schoolers would possibly have read, with an interesting enough life story to not give it all away with the clues?)
