Sore feet and Final Jeopardy

Enjoying time in NYC.  I always forget how much walking is done here.  Last night my feet were really tired, a little sore, and just wanting a rest.

I went to a Thai and Japanese place for dinner and did something I have never done before.  I sat and ate dinner in a semi-fine dining establishment by myself and didn't take out my cell phone to make myself look busy.  I just enjoyed the food and Jeopardy on the television.

My new experience with the dining seemed to bring me good luck because I was able to answer over 75% of the questions on Jeopardy, including the Final Jeopardy question.  I was getting some correct that the contestants were missing.  I felt so smart that I slightly over ate and then decided to walk almost 40 total blocks back to my sister's place to work off some of the excess food I ate.

Wandering was nice.  I would had gone even farther, but I saw lightning and didn't want to risk walking outside in the dark with no umbrella in the rain.

More wandering and viewing the city today.  Unfortunately, it is still going to be super hot and it looks like there is not a cloud in the sky.

  1. Oh! This sounds fun! :) Good for you with Jeapordy and also for not taking out your cellphone.

    Hope you have a wonderful day roaming around NY today. And let's make a deal..you can have half of our clouds (there are plenty plenty plenty here today) and I'll take half of the hotness and sunshine you guys are having. Deal?

  4. You just described my perfect day! Roaming alone (except, I woulda been in comfortable shoes), good thai food, and JEOPARDY! Jeopardy is literally my favorite TV show "of all time" [Kanye voice]. It's on my bucket list to be on before I die. However, I should hurry....Trebek is getting old. But doesn't he look great for 72? Being smart must be good for your skin lol. There is nothing better than being right on the Final Jeopardy question. What was it...don't tell me the answer...want to see if I can get it. (oh and don't forget to give the category)

    1. Political Literature: This book's main idea was that it is better to be feared than loved.

  5. Ah, so you watched the same one I did. Machiavelli, "The Prince". I was tempted to pretend like I knew the answer off the top of my head.

    That being said, once they said what the answer was, I KNEW it...just couldn't recall it in time. Promise. But congrats on knowing the answer!

    1. Nice. Were the other questions just really easy, or was I an on-the-ball genius?
