One of my friends, who happens to also be a loyal reader of this blog, had something terrible happen to her.

Adding Jeremy and Alexis to my Thursday night Street Academy trivia team has really paid off. More times than not, we’re either in the lead at the half (winning the free pitcher of beverage for doing so), but the final question – the one that could earn us playoff points for the finals – kills…
