Getting It Right. . . Well Sometimes

Getting It Right. . .

Well, Sometimes

 

 

I know it's not the best of times for many with all sorts of issues and more challenging moments possibly a part of the future.   But wait...there is still plenty of opportunity to experience much, enjoy people and things plus continue to learn.  And laugh.  Yes, laugh.  I recommend it often.  

 

With the recent arrival of a new season, I support a continuing education plan.  Wakening one's brain from hibernation may not be necessary for each of us but a simple jump start might be a good daily practice.  If you don't already follow Wayne Martin I suggest you do and read his daily trivia challenge post. 

 

It's usually just four questions with results/answers revealed for the previous day.  The questions are from a variety of topics.  Some of which may be commonly known while others may seem a bit obscure on occasion.  Then there are those questions that urge us to dig deep back into our memory.  

 

There are no prizes.  It's self-graded.  No scores are given.   Of course, cheating and looking over shoulders is not cool but if you do, who will know?  After all it's just for fun. 

 

You know so much news and discussions seem to be centered around topics where we just need to take a break so this may be the ideal antidote.

James Dray - it's interesting, to me, how 50% can be considered either as a failure or as being somewhat successful.  That percentage may be unacceptable as a grade in school but not-so-horrible when looking at a baseball player's hitting performance.  Hmm

Michael, I do enjoy his trivia, and think I used to be better than I am now, or his questions are HARD.  LOL

Michael Jacobs - I am a firm believer in education and within the past week or so, I have been taking on-line courses. Just when I think I'm pretty smart, I go over to Wayne Martin's blog and discover, I still have a lot more to learn!

Either he picks really hard questions or I'm just not the genius I thought I was. I don't tend to do very well on his trivia questions.

Sharon Tara - there is definitely a reason why you don't see me as a contestant on the Jeopardy! television game show.

Michael you and I both have a decent knowledge and I agree I would not make it on Jeopardy either, for goodness sakes I am thrilled when I get 3 out of 4 on Wayne Martin  quizzes:))Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. - three correct answers out of four is a rarity for me but it's another opportunity for gratefulness.  Wonders often work in small ways as I understand.
