The few slow-downs I had were my own fault ... like Kazie, I misread proto- as photo- in 33D. I then assumed an apostrophe after TEENS in 31D which had me thinking of the 'teenage years.' Oh well ... it all came together in the end. <br /><br />A really nice write-up, Argyle ... I learned a lot! I also liked 'Ewe must remember this...' :-)<br /><br />Tigers are up 5-1 after 7 innings!<br /><br />Another good day for Joon on Jeopardy!LaLaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614753577019280766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-1125956457772840822011-10-11T21:36:12.969-05:002011-10-11T21:36:12.969-05:00Have I missed any comments about Joon Pahk amassin...Have I missed any comments about Joon Pahk amassing a fortune on Jeopardy the past week and this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-23764956725116989132011-10-11T21:23:18.546-05:002011-10-11T21:23:18.546-05:00"Jerome"'s comment had "racial&..."Jerome"'s comment had "racial" and "political" overtones to it.

Watching Tom Selleck play such a hero was a treat, too. Thanks, Kazie, for the verification of some of the history shown.
