my love of ken and trivia

you know ken jennings?  the guy who won 74 games of jeopardy! in a row?  i love him.  when he was on his run of 74 wins in a row, i was working at TIP (nerdy summer camp that i worked at for six summers from 2001 to 2006), and jeopardy! was on at a time during the day when we had to run activities for students.  ann marie had a tv/vcr combo in her room, and she would tape jeopardy! every day and then we would play the tape after the kids went to bed.  and ken just kept on winning and we kept on cheering him on.  (it was awesome.)  so i have this great memory of watching the show with some really good friends at a summer program that was one of the best experiences of my life (for the following reasons: 1 - it made me realize i wanted to be a teacher, which i now am and can't imagine a more perfect job for me; 2 - i made some of my best friends while working there; 3 - it began my love affair with night swimming, mix-your-own-six-packs, the rough ridge overlook on the blue ridge parkway, our daily bread, staying up obscenely late, and boone, north carolina.  what am i forgetting?).

i read ken's book and occasionally read his blog, and i'm telling you all this (get to the point already, claire!) because he's got a great trivia quiz that he sends out to your email account every tuesday if you subscribe on his blog (lefthand side, scroll down).  so: trivia lovers: subscribe!
