I’m curious about everything. Even subjects that don’t interest me.
Alex Trebek
“And here’s your host, Alex Trebek!”
I found out that Alex Trebek passed away earlier today after his battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family and friends. He was 80. Trebek has been a part of my life since childhood when I discovered Jeopardy and it became my all-time favorite game show. Back then, I watched the show every night without fail. At present, I’ve been watching the show in-between and Trebek has been filming throughout his diagnosis. Although he was last in studio on Oct 29th, he has filmed episodes through to December 25th.
For more than 3 decades, Trebek has educated the world with fun and serious knowledge, instilling in us a love of trivia. And not to forget his sense of humor and witty sarcasm!
And now for one last clue: I’ll take “Great TV Personas” for $1000.
QUESTION: He was the most beloved game show host and a national treasure. Who was he?
ANSWER: Who was Alex Trebek?
1940-2020
Thank you, and farewell, Alex.

If you think of Jeopardy, it’s Alex Trebek! He will be missed. I used to love watching his shows and seeing him interact with the contestants.
I really enjoyed this post and the video clips of him throughout the years are wonderful! Thanks Diane. Hope you are having a wonderful Sunday. God bless!!

Yes, it was a nice tribute!
Sad to see our tv legends pass…the life cycle is natural and no one can avoid it, but it always seems unnatural. But thank goodness for lovely memories.

He’s six healthy months! That’s quite okay as I’m on a small hiatus and won’t be posting anything until Monday God’s willing. Life happens so I understand. Thank you and same to you, my friend. 💙

I hope all is well with you and your hiatus is refreshing. I understand that sometimes you, I mean we, all need to step back and just be without doing anything.
Jerry, you’re in good hands with Diana! Please refrain from chewing on her favorite things in the house. lol

It was refreshing, and eye opening as I wrote in the latest post. I’m glad for the new direction the blogging is going in.
As for Jerry, he’s just the cutest! And he doesn’t chew on my things at all. It’s funny that the 3 housecats are well behaved!

That’s great news! Blogs evolve over time and I’m glad you’re taking a new direction that works for you. Encouraging to hear, because I want to be more consistent about posting God-related things, but too afraid to talk about it often. Got the imposter syndrome. Maybe in the new year…we shall see
I hear stories from people with cat pals that they are silly animals with funny antics. If you see some Instagram posts about cats, they’ll have you chuckling at their facial expressions and response to other house pets.

Thank you, Esther! Yes, they certainly do. One must never be afraid to talk/share about God. And you don’t have to talk about it often. Perhaps, you can share a thought or two once a month. Just a suggestion, though. Whatever you decide, I look forward to your posts for 2021.
Yes, some of them are! We’ve certainly had some, but Jeremiah is special! 💙 Have a blessed week!

That was a nice tribute. I always like Jeopardy too but wasn’t to great at it. I’m not a good one to have on any trivia team.
