I would just like to say that I know Mike doesn’t love his new getting-up-early schedule, but I like it. When we don’t get up at the same time, we don’t get to do the morning bathroom Jeopardy questions together. And clearly, morning bathroom Jeopardy questions are the best way to start the day. (What, like you don’t keep a Jeopardy calendar in your bathroom?)

One of my roommates had a Jeopardy calendar in college. If the entire collection of roommates was not present, you were not allowed to do the question. I think we even kept track of points for awhile.
Which would explain why after I came back from abroad, we had an entire semester’s worth of delinquent Jeopardy questions to do.
