Round 3 was White After Labor Day? Ugh! A round about posh and luxury brands was a very current and innovative trivia round. It involved No. 5, An extinct Needless Markup empty box at Fashion Island, Italy, a Greek messenger god, the 1917 British Flying corps watch brand and LV.

My off the wall selfie is a way back Wednesday pic of myself with my Irish cousin in Dublin with a Garda which is Irish/Gaelic for POLICE. Nice chap. He actually had a gf in Tustin. This pic if from 1998. It had been 20 years since I had been back to see my relatives. A pivotal point in my life. Read more in my upcoming book by March 2022. If you haven't visited Ireland yet, put it on your bucket list and do it.
