Read MoreWeek 6 of the Graney’s Stout Summer Trivia League
For all intents and purposes, last night’s trivia game was a wash for me. And to be totally honest, I had a very schizophrenic run at trivia – I would miss easy questions and hit the hard ones, or I would get together several easy questions and then destroy my advantage by guessing wrongly on…
