Utter Wonder: The Idle Thoughts Of C. Monks

A Photo of Jeopardy Champ Ken Jennings at Disney World.

To answer your question: no, I didn’t say hello to him. Why? Because My Lady reminded me, rather astutely, that he kind of hates my guts. Plus, he looked like every other parent of a young child at the park: beleaguered and stressed out. Felt it was best to leave him be. Also: I am a chicken. So I left him alone with Tigger and Pooh and the rest. I think in the end we were both the better for it.

What is so stressful about being in the happiest place on earth with a million other people? I think Jeopardy would be way more stressful,

Why is Tigger roped off like a common goat...or is it Ken that's roped off?

I'm only here because Ken mentioned you but me thinks you protest a bit too loudly. In your Star letter you sign it "Stay Gold" and of course everyone knows that Ghoulardi in Cleveland coined "Stay Blue" back in the 60's. Got 'ya.

C uses "Stay Gold" as a reference to the book/movie "The Outsiders."

So Deb, I guess you're either too old or not cool enough to get this. Back to the trivia books for you.

for some reason the line, 'why is Tigger roped off like a common goat?' makes me really, really happy.
