THE BRUINS is CORRECT!!!  BILL, you have control of the board, but since you are three away from the payoff, that means:  The first three categories are only in play. What's your choice? |

No, I'm sorry, MATT....that is incorrect. (BUZZ) BILL, your answer? BILL: Is it the Black Widow? That is CORRECT and you get the two points.  That brings your total to eight points, BILL, which means that you must pick out the one-point category which is:  THE CONTINENTS....If BILL gets this right, it's payoff point and the cash. MATT and RAYMOND, you both know what to do. THE CONTINENTS: What two continents are separated by the Bering Strait? THE BUZZ-IN NUMBER IS: 91 Here are the results: MATT first RAYMOND second BILL third (BZZT) MATT, your answer? |

That is CORRECT, BILL.  You have 13 points, BILL, and since you are now three away from the payoff point, that means that only the first three categories are in play.  What's your pleasure? |

All,
I am at work right now and am fine. My wife is at work and she is fine. Our son is at college and he too is fine.
Got a text about an hour ago from my wife saying many roadways to where I live are closed off by the police.
I tried calling my rental office, as we live in a manufactured home community, only to get their voice mail, so they must be flooded with calls.
I called the convenience store nearby and the manager said she heard gunshots.
Unfortunately I'm unable to get any other news updates about this. This news has me rather shaken up at the very least right now, so I'm not sure if I will even be able to get home after work today. Not sure if I'll be online to do any net game stuff later today or not, as my nerves are a wreck right now. And this is also my boss' last day in the office so it's already a rather difficult and emotional day to begin with, especially on the heels of another 9/11 anniversary plus the Hurricane carnage...
Will update you all when I can...
Bill

IT IS THE TIGER and BILL has the payoff point, $425 and that TRIP TO TOKYO.  CONGRATULATIONS, BILL. And as we look at the scores, BILL is in the lead with 16 points, RAYMOND has 2 points and MATT, our champ, has yet too score. However, when we come back, we will have six new categories and a new payoff point. Stay tuned. |
