Smarty pants. The cold air agreed with you.,

Well, if they hadn't accepted "Milne", I wouldn't have done so well.  For no apparent reason, I could not come up with his first name(s), and I even watched "Christopher Robin" on the flight south!

WEEK 18 — TWO asterisks
* 86. 19th Century Notables. When he died in Samoa in 1894 his obituary said, “He loved Samoa better than any other place, except Scotland.”   *
87. 1950s Travel. In March 1958 Hilton opened a hotel in this Western Hemisphere capital but 2 1/2 years later was out of business there.
88. TV Dramas. So that viewers wouldn’t think it was about opera, the “R” in this show’s logo was turned into a gun.
89. American Landmarks. Eyewitness Jose Marti wrote, “Luckless Irishmen, Poles, Italians…run toward the wharves” to see its dedication.
* 90. Famous Doctors. Not an artist himself, he inspired the Surrealists but thought them “absolute cranks” until he met Dali in London in 1938.

4/5 with one *. I knew RLS, but Freud was out of my mind!

4/5 with one *. I came up with Freud instantly, but didn't know RLS. We would make a good team :D

Would you recommend that movie? I think I heard it was good.

Just wanted to let you know I won't be reporting my scores until January 29. I'm going to Detroit for the US Figure Skating Championship (as a spectator, not participant). Just as well as I'm 0/4 so far this week. Back in competition for the worst score award!

Have fun, enjoy yourself and be careful traveling in this blizzard. Do you have a vested interest in a competitor? If so, do tell. Maybe you'll meet Johnny and Tara! Score sheet will be waiting for your return, no problem.

WEEK 19 — ONE asterisk  
91. Familiar Phrases. Originally a folk term for a chronic rash, this phrase got a new meaning as a title for a 1952 stage comedy & later a movie.
92. Presidential Quotes. He said, “Victory over (the) Depression will be…by the resolution of our people to fight their own battles in their own communities.”
93. People & Places. In 1790 Thursday October Christian became the first child whose birth was recorded on this remote island.
94. Contemporary Art. After it was auctioned in 2018, a work by this artist was renamed “Love Is In The Bin.”
* 95. TV Personalities. In 2000 this man was the host of a No. 1 rated network show & and a No. 2 rated syndicated talk show. *

2/5 this week. No asterisk.

I guessed Jeff Probst last night, but didn't really think it was right. Trying to think back to 2000.... a number one network show with a host? Survivor was all I could come up with. Forgot all about Millionaire!
