I’ve never heard of Team Fist before.  But apparently they showed up last week with a goofy team name, something like “I’m Sick of Osama Jokes,” or something along those lines.  Last night, they named themselves Team Fist, essentially named after the Elbo Room dinner entree sandwich with about six different meats and a fried…

So here’s what happened.  Thursday night at Elbo Room, my Street Academy team bet the farm on a question involving South America.   And of late, you know what’s been going on regarding my team and South America. Anyways, the question that came up was the identity of the South American country that borders the Atlantic…

The dream is always the same. Instead of going home, I go to the neighbors’. I ring, but nobody answers. The door is open, so I go inside. I look around, but no one seems to be there. Then I hear the shower running. So, I go upstairs to see what’s what. Then I see…

While I’m waiting for General James to ask the first round of questions, I start thinking about all the teammates I’ve had…

Unfortunately, due to a previous commitment, I wasn’t able to get to the Elbo Room for trivia last night, and Jeremy and Alexis couldn’t make it either.  So thankfully General James gave me the updates on who picked up the points, so we can go from there. So here’s the standings after seven weeks. The…

It’s noon on Thursday, and I’m heading home.  I’ve just driven 3 1/2 hours from Quebec City to the Canada-USA border, and after a quick pit-stop at the duty free store (by the way, did I mention that the Canadian dollar is now at par with the US dollar?), it was time to visit the…
