Cabin Fever thoughts

 Television---that's my connection with the outside world. After the horrible news, I resort to the old and familiar.

   I have to say that the latest Jeopardy contestants seem to have been chosen for being boring and non-photogenic.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.

  I watch Wheel of Fortune so I will be tuned in to Jeopardy. Pat Sajak is  witty and skillful at hosting, but he's starting to look old. I heard him say he wants to leave before people start asking, "What happened to him?" Last year or so, he was out sick, so maybe that's a factor. Vanna still looks quite lovely, but she is thin, and her legs look like straight  and narrow sticks as she walks across the stage in her high heels. I may have to keep the sound on mute though. I can't stand to hear the contestants' pronunciations  when they ask for the letter N. 

And Drew and a rather annoying woman contestant got in an argument today. She chose something wrong and didn't win the car. What I heard was her saying to Drew, "You told me to pick that." He said, "No, I didn't." She countered with "Yes you did." He said "No, I  did not."   (She later won the final showcase, including another car. We all despaired. 

And not done yet, now that I was hand-delivered the  newspaper, I read also-annoying Jo Page's column and fired off an email to her. The title of her column was "Perhaps invasion will raise an awareness of other atrocities."  I didn't say what came to mind when some novice reporter asked Pres. Biden if he thought the economy would be an issue in the coming debate. Biden said he was a stupid sonovabitch. But Lutheran Minister Jo Page's article was worse, filled as it was with self-righteous virtue-signaling. 

 I'm stymied by a certain section of my 1040-SR form, so instead of pursuing that, which haunted my dreams last night, 


I completed Wordle, Daily Word Puzzle (very like wordle, Jumble, Cryptoquip, (my favorite) and 4 crossword puzzles, I abstain from Word Sleuth.

   P.S. Jo Page responded to my email right away. She misspelled "fervently."
