Intelligent, witty and a fun personality. Definitely not haughty. He fought a terrible disease with grace. He will be missed.May we raise children who love the unloved things - the dandelion, the worm, the spiderlings.
Children who sense the rose needs the thorn and run into rainswept days the same way they turn towards the sun...
And when they're grown and someone has to speak for those who have no voice,
may they draw upon that wilder bond, those days of tending tender things and be the one.

I tried out for the game and got fairly far along. I think I just didn't have the charisma they were looking for but it was fun. And it made for a neat story. There was a lot more to it than I had imagined."Alexa, slaughter the fatted calf."

A true gentleman, very classy. He's left big shoes to fill.
And I kinda hope they don't. I can't imagine anyone hosting nearly as perfectly as he did.“I do not aim with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I aim with my eye.
"I do not shoot with my hand; he who shoots with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I shoot with my mind.
"I do not kill with my gun; he who kills with his gun has forgotten the face of his father.
I kill with my heart.â€

Ken Jennings would be great. In the meantime, I will enjoy the new Jeopardy segments. He was working up until 10 days before he passed. Amazing.Not where I breathe, but where I love, I live...

Hell, why not Adam Schiff?
Rename the show, "Who's Lying Now?" while you're at it.

And day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven—
All's right with the world!

HRH and her cousins (almost a generation apart in age) all grew up watching Jeopardy with Grandma."Since the historic ruling, the Lovings have become icons for equality. Mildred released a statement on the 40th anniversary of the ruling in 2007: 'I am proud that Richard’s and my name is on a court case that can help reinforce the love, the commitment, the fairness, and the family that so many people, Black or white, young or old, gay or straight, seek in life. I support the freedom to marry for all. That’s what Loving, and loving, are all about.'." - Mildred Loving (Loving v. Virginia)

It was a fun show and I genuinely liked Vanna. I've bought her crochet books. She seems very warm and normal. Like someone you'd have coffee with or take to lunch.
I really enjoyed the show when I caught it. My worst category was "Sports". No surprise. If it isn't baseball, I'm hopeless. I know more about dips I made during games than the games or players. We only had football on because Mr. Snaps' friends like to hang out. Mr. Snaps thinks it's stupid."Alexa, slaughter the fatted calf."
