My second episode aired tonight. For those of you who couldn't watch, I'll just let you know that you don't need to bother setting the VCR for Monday.
Sean, Chris, and I went up to Tyngsborough and caught a matinee (Alien: The Director's Cut). Went out for sushi afterward. Came home to 8 more messages on the answering machine from well-wishers who were watching tonight's episode. I think 4 of them were from K., who called at every commercial break to update me with her thoughts on how the game was going—too funny.
I loved Elke's comment (via email) about last night's show:
Although after his zipping through all that presidential information, your opponent had me a little nervous (and no wonder, since he was apparently old enough to remember all of them personally). But as soon as Alex announced the Science History category, I was certain you were going to emerge victorious.
