Hi Shawn,

 RH> hosting "Jeoparday"; Ken Jennings is an ok replacement but not Alex.
 RH> Some of the guest hosts they had after Alex passed away were really
 RH> bad but I can tolerate Ken.

 SH> Alex hosted that show for so long, he really was the best.  He had the
 SH> exact right personality for it.  I think a lot of long term viewers
 SH> will always miss him.

Agreed, he was really good as a host. When I tried out, they did the try
outs over 2 days; I was booked for the second day. Alex made guest
appearances at the try outs on the first day but on the second day, he
was out at the various military installations on Oahu so I didn't get to
meet him.


 RH> Looks good; I did the traditional corned beef and cabbage, with
 RH> boiled potatoes, carrots and parsnips yesterday.

 SH> One of my favorite boiled dinners. :)

I usually don't have parsnips on hand but did, this time so added them
to the pot. We had a good meal, with enough left overs to put into a
container to freeze for an "on the road" meal. We were at Lidl
yesterday, bought another corned beef to cook up for slicing so we can
have sandwichs. Also bought some country ham; Steve made biscuits this
morning to go with it. Yummy!
