As we move towards the July 4th holiday, Quiz Master Lou would like to take this
opportunity to thank all of the military, law enforcement, fire prevention and
emergency services personnel who sacrifice their time, their efforts and in some
cases, their lives, for watching out for the rest of us. Whatever your political
stripe happens to be, whatever "your" version of America is, you should not take
it for granted that these individuals in the services mentioned above are there
for your convenience. They had a calling. They answered it. The rest of us
decided to do the other thing. So, whether your idea of celebrating is to BBQ
and set off fireworks, or go to a nice restaurant then observe a fireworks display
from your balcony, or perhaps just stay inside and watch a movie with your pet,
always remember that your very ability to do so rests on the shoulders of a
multitude of people, people who put their lives on the line and who stretch back
over three centuries to get you here. Your present cannot exist without their
past. Neither can your future.
Killarney's rocked last night! Tequila Mockingbird climbed to the top of the
pyramid while Street Smarts and Wossa Motta-U claimed second and third places
respectively. Some really excellent bafflers from our quiz overlords out in
Los Angeles, too. Quiz Master Lou's fave was the Match the Movie to its
Narrator. William Holden's Joe Gillis from Sunset Boulevard was a masterful
inspiration to add to that list as few films have ever equaled that opening
realization that the story teller was floating face down dead in a swimming
pool. If you've never seen it, you should.
Have a happy 4th, everybody! Stay safe!
