I'M BUMMED.....


I’M BUMMED….

Each night, Monday thru Friday, 7 pm.. we would be sitting glued to our television.  Then they took two weeks off for Teacher’s weeks… and then back to the big game. The real game for us.
For those who don’t watch game shows, you will think we are crazy.

But night after night, we watched, amazed at this young man, who seem to know all the answers.. Yes, he faltered a few times, only to come back at full force.  His knowledge was amazing.. And his quickness kept the game going at a fast pace. Hitting daily doubles time and time again.. First the smaller one, and going for it all. True daily doubles.   And the others he would make a bid of some odd numbers that made no sense to us watching.

Winning 32 straight shows.. winning more than 2 million dollars, and just about 65 thousand dollars short of the highest of all. But he also broke many records.. even some of his own.. Earning over $100,000 for one night.. to break it at $109,000 for one night..and finally $130,000 for one night alone…  he was within one more night of breaking the largest and in the shortest of time…. But… life is Not always fair… and a young lady, from Chicago.. beat the BIG CHAMPION OF JEOPARDY… … so we all bid good bye to James Holzhauer….  And thanks for the memories James, it was a great and wild ride… and to be honest…  I’M BUMMED.
