Week 37: 3/5 + 1 * I appear to be in a rut, but it's a pretty good one.

Happy Birthday, Ken Jennings!

Re Henry Kissinger: "The good die young," as Tom Lehrer (who is now 97) might say. Tom Lehrer also said something like "Political satire became meaningless when Henry Kissinger got the Nobel Peace Prize."

Leap years: As a bit of fine tuning, years ending in 00 are not leap years unless they are divisible by 400. Long ago I heard an interview with a woman born February 29, 1896. Because 1900 was not a leap year, she did not have a "real" birthday until she was eight years old.

In the remaining seasons, maybe there will be fewer home births and more caring for people in the community (including seeing elderly and disabled people at their homes). I like to see a variety of cases.

Was that really what they said? I thought it was about the cars that were stopped at the side of the road before the accident, that the expert said the people should have got out and away from the road.

Thank you, @possibilities. That does the job. Once a colleague introduced me to his daughter Gabrielle. She said, "You can call me Gabi. Just don't call me Talks Too Much."

Thank you, but is that a streaming service? I don't have any of those. For other shows, people have posted links to articles with reviews and summaries of episodes. I'm hoping there is one for this episode. The sound and captions were adequate for previous episodes, so it's frustrating that they went wrong on the finale.

Week 36: 3/5 + 2 *. Bringing Baked Alaska (Monday clue) to remind us of climate change.

Is there a good summary of this episode somewhere? On the station I watched, the sound was bad, and the closed captions were garbled and a sentence or two behind the sound, so I was not sure what was happening.

Someone suggested making a drama series about the Titanic. Every week, viewers would get to know a few of the passengers and/or crew. Then the ship would sink (yes, every week) and we would find out whether they survived. There are some interesting true stories. Harry Widener and his father perished in the sinking but his mother was rescued. She later had the Widener Library at Harvard built in their memory.

Did anyone get a good look at Victoria's necklace in today's first game? I thought it might be a bird and a molecule.

She did get a lot of somethin' somethin' when the Polterguest visited.

Week 35: 3/5, 1 * YTD: 111/175, 21 * Bringing egg drop soup and kung pau chicken for everyone, including three servings of each for Thursday's contestants.

I could stand to watch if Audrey & Jim retire, they and Mary are rarely seen (and never Audrey and Mary together), Georgie takes over the tire store and establishes Dr. Tire, Mandy works in broadcasting, and Connor & Chloe are their neighbors.
