Jeopardy Test



Last Wednesday I took the test to become a contestant on Jeopardy. I think they only do this test once a year so I thought I would give it a shot. It was tough, but it was a lot of fun. Here's a sampling of the questions:

  1. THIS "WATER MUSIC" COMPOSER IS BURIED IN POETS' CORNER AT WESTMINSTER ABBEY
  2. THIS BASIC AERODYNAMIC FORCE ACTS ON A WING, PUTTING GREATER PRESSURE ON ITS LOWER SURFACE THAN ITS UPPER
  3. "THE LOST COLONY" DRAMA IS AN ANNUAL EVENT AT FORT RALEIGH NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE ON THIS ISLAND
  4. WHEN THE TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILROAD WAS COMPLETED IN 1869, THIS CALIFORNIA CITY WAS ITS WESTERN TERMINUS
(Answers are at the bottom of the post)





(Answers 1. Handel, 2. Lift, 3. Roanoke, 4. Sacramento)

Grove Creek Hike


Last Saturday I went on a little hike up Grove Creek Canyon (Pleasant Grove) with my uncle Rob and my cousin Ben. It was a pretty hike and we even saw a golden eagle fly right in front of us across to the other side of the canyon. Here are some more photos:

Kung Fu Baby




Speaking of Asher, I just learned that Asher jumped from the 233rd most popular boy name to the 25th most popular name for boys. What happened!?
