Okay. I can either whine about the
upcoming blizzard or talk about history. I'll let you choose.
(8 microseconds later...)
Wow. That was quick. And it wasn't
even close, was it?
So with that in mind, whacha doing
tonight? Well, if your answer was “not much” or “trying to
remember where I put my snow boots”, you're more than welcome to
join me at the Marquette Regional History Center for their “Trivia,
Take Two” contest, where I get to do the only two things for which
it seems I'm uniquely qualified—ask people questions about history,
and then make fun of them when they get them wrong.
If it's anything like last year's
contest, it should be a blast.
We actually had a packed house last
year, and I'm hoping it'll be the same tonight. The fine staff at
the History Center has put together 50 questions, I added five more
about bars, and now everyone who takes part will get the chance to
see if they can answer them for fun (& prizes). People who
participate are more than welcome to bring their own adult beverages
(a factor that made the contest quite amusing last year), and I've
been promised there will be snacks, as well, so if you're interested,
it's a great way to learn a little and raise money for a great
organization.
Oh—and to be made fun of if you don't
know the answers, too. But in a kind & gentle way. That I
promise.

Okay. Maybe I WILL whine about the
weather just a little bit. I know it's April, but a Winter Storm
Watch starting overnight tonight that will most likely turn into a
Winter Storm Warning before you know it? Mother Nature...are you
sure. Are you REALLY sure?
And that's all I'm gonna say about
that. At least for now.
