Evidence is starting to suggest

I've been thinking for a while that while I know more stuff, I have actually become dumber since I finished high school. Now, I'm not even sure I can say that....

Last night, for the first time in a long time I watched Jeopardy. Wow. I haven't sat quietly for that long in a while. Now, normally, even when alone, people will blurt out answers to any questions they know.... well, I would have......... had I any answers to give.

At the risk of sounding like a smarty-pants (contain your laughter...), I'm going to say that I used to watch Jeopardy almost daily when I was younger. It was virtual mandatory viewing each night after dinner for my parents, and with little else to occupy me, I tended to join them. Okay, so when I was really young, I just kinda watched.... but around when I hit high school, I actually started to know stuff! I'd even beat my parents on things and blurt out answers to stuff they didn't even know! Now? I sit quietly, answering only the real "gimmies" (exmaple: the category "Nov"-ember had answers such as "Cape Breton is part of this Canadian Province" and "The anesthetic you thank the dentist for").

You know what? Since there really isn't anything else worth watching at all at 7:30pm, I think I'm going to take up Jeopardy again.... unless I start to feel especially dumb. Which is a safe bet...
