Jeopardy

I have to make this quick...Jeopardy is on soon.
I love Jeopardy, although Alex Trebek makes me nervous.
Max says I should audition for the show, he thinks I know a lot. I think I know a lot, too, ... but that's a problem with me, it's not a virtue that would win me millions of dollars...then again, I haven't tried.
Anyway, watching at home, I shout out the answers .. or rather the questions... and that's another problem. I'd never remember to answer in the form of a question. If I did, I'd get the wrong W. I'd say Who instead of What. Who is Mount Everest. What is Leonard Bernstein. Then I'd freeze from humiliation.
And how do the contestants end up with those weird little stories they share during the first-round break? Rarely are they funny. I end up laughing just to be polite...and they can't even hear me! Besides, it's taped!
I really am an idiot in real life. That would be my vignette. Alex: Judy, we've had hundreds of very smart and wise people on this show. But it says here, Judy, that you are actually an idiot.
Judy: (Polite laugh) Yes, ahem. I am a complete dumkopff. See, I don't know even how to spell it. THAT's Who a moron I am!

OK ...

Have to go!

New day, new Blog

Hello all y'all!
I've started a new blogspot because I didn't know how to change my old one, www.jesusingeorgia.blogspot.com, under my new e-mail address.
My daughter, a dedicated blogger, asked why I stopped blogging; and she suggested I start a new one. Makes sense, I think, because things are new for me. Again.
I'm remarried to Max and my last name has changed.
I also have a new job. I am editor of The Eatonton Messenger, a 5,000-weekly, in Putnam County, Georgia. I start officially tomorrow, Monday, March 30. I have been in the office for the past few days, however. Getting the feel for things. Trying to get organized.
I'm a little scared, but it's a good scared. I'm scared enough to rely on the Lord to guide me. And that's always a good thing. Just when I think I know it all, and act like it ... BAM! ... something comes flying out of left field and smacks me along side my head.
Well, I'm going to keep this short for now. The weather is awful, Tstorms, lightning, etc. And my PC screen has jumped a few times. So I have to disconnect.
Thanks for "tuning in" and I will be back!

In the name of Jesus, who does so much more than we could possibly hope, dream or imagine!

XOXO
Judy
