Good news you guys: I found a middle school willing to host a local History Bee! It was easy as pie, and I thank God. When I was looking at websites of Lincoln’s Catholic schools (assuming I’d have a better shot there), I noticed I know the secretary of one of them because her kids went to grade school with me. I e-mailed her, and she responded already today with a “yes.” (I want to ask the school first before I mention them by name on the blog, but I’m sure that day will come eventually!) In the meantime, if you are affiliated with a middle school close enough that you are interested in attending in March next year, please leave a comment below or e-mail me. The Bee is also looking for a high school in maybe Lincoln or Omaha (but there’s some flexibility) that will host a Bowl and Bee, so please leave a comment or e-mail me if you are interested in that. I’m gonna work on finding one myself.
As for the SHC: I will give you an update on week 6, once those results/scores start becoming available. Hopefully they will all be in before I leave for my own hiatus (Germany!) one week from tomorrow. And don’t worry, I will not leave you hangin’: An enthusiastic Jeopardy! fan and blogger in his own right will be taking over for me as the new season begins. (He is also a regular on the Jeopardy! message boards, which is how I came to know him.) I hate to miss the beginning of the new season, but I assure you I will get all caught up when I get back. (I’ll ask again, what did I ever do before my DVR?) And I’ll be checking in every now and then from Germany.
