Here Comes The Boom

Every night at 7, we watch "Jeopardy!" just to make sure our brains are still working. Between hubby and the youngest and the SJG, we manage to get maybe 5 questions right. It isn't a lot, but it's enough to remind us that we've retained some information along the way. These days, "Jeopardy!" is our drug of choice, our big obsession, thanks, in great part, to 23-year-old paralegal Matt Jackson, the son of a liberal Jewish mother and a conservative Christian father. This guy just keeps winning. And winning. Eight nights in a row, so far. He's got a scary stare and an unsettling smile he only flashes at the beginning and end of the show. It's hypnotic and deeply disturbing. And when he gets a tough answer right, he smacks his fist and says, "Boom." Tonight, kina hora, he'll win again. And, God willing, again.
