Good Queen Jane

Your dad was absolutely right. I used Skin So Soft to keep the mosquitoes away all summer long.

Yes, although what we wear are sparkly blue scarves. We should be in the first two rows this year, opposite the judges. I'll wave to you.

3/5. Note to @saber5055: I am going to be away next week (US Figure Skating Championships in Greensboro) so I won't be able to post my next two weeks' scores until January 28. I didn't want you to worry.

I had forgotten Brad was a college student when he first appeared on J! That made be wonder about his age now, which is 41. Ken is 45 and James is 35. So the comments about Brad slowing down due to age don't really work. I'm 100% Team Ken, but I hope Brad wins tonight just because his play so far hasn't been up to what we know he can do. Also that will mean at least one more night of this fascinating competition, which has been getting great ratings.

4/5. Good thing I ran out of egg nog this week.

1/5. Egg nog hangover.

3/5 and surprised I did that well.

Pat tweeted what's going on: It’s a bit confusing, but here’s the deal: Vanna will be hosting this coming week and the next. Then two weeks of shows I taped before my surgery. Then Vanna again the week of Jan. 6 with a special guest at the puzzle board. Then the planets will realign, and it’s back to normal. — Pat Sajak (@patsajak) December 7, 2019

2/5. I blame it on too much egg nog.

Ditto! (4/5, 1*)

Very close scores in the Rhythm Dance. P/C are only a little over a point over H/D. No blowout for P/C (at least so far.)

3/5 with one *.

Sorry, they're all in hibernation for the winter. I'll send a picture in the spring, assuming they don't disappear on a walkabout in the meantime.

1/5, no * (and I'm ashamed to admit that the only one I knew was about garden gnomes. My friends tease me about my collection.)

1/5, no *. At least I'm one of the crowd.
