School runs very smoothly today, for both of us. Judy has a musical rehearsal after school. As it works out, two of the faculty helping with the musical are setting up for another activity, and a third member of the group has a doctors appointment, so Judy and David are left to get some good out of the rehearsal, by themselves.<\/p>\n
I taxi over the BISS with Dom (Shannon\u2019s husband), and Scott (Alexis husband) around 5:30. The three couples are participating in the BISS Quiz Night. There\u2019s a catered meal, followed by a quiz competition. Teams for 4 different international schools are attending. This is a first for Judy and me.<\/p>\n
The meal is good, and then it\u2019s off the next room for the competition. Each team is seated at it\u2019s own table (six to a team). There are around 18 teams. The first quiz is sort of a history quiz, and we score a perfect 20. The next best was 19. The next round (can\u2019t remember the subject area), and we missed a few, but so did everyone else, so we\u2019re still in first. Our first place held up through the 3rd<\/sup> round, but we had misses, and the scores were tightening up. We bombed round 4!\u00a0\u00a0 It was a page with pictures of 10 flags of countries in Asia (Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, etc.). We had to correctly identify the country and also select the name of their currency from a list we were given. I think we got 5 out of 20. Ugh!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Rounds 5 & 6 were a series of flops until the seventh round and our group (I mean to say Scott), nailed all but one. It was the a \u201cdrop the needle\u201d for 1-2 seconds on pop music. He must be encyclopedic. The music would be played, then we had to name the title, and the group that popularized it. Scott was amazing. We didn\u2019t pull up enough to win, but we finished 5th<\/sup> (I mean Scott finished 5th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" School runs very smoothly today, for both of us.
