My husband and I are big "Jeopardy" fans. It's entertainment while I'm cooking dinner and much less depressing than the news! I tell myself it will keep me from being senile too soon but we all know that's a fairy tale! Anyhow "Final Jeopardy" falls into three categories for us: nice-we have a chance, maybe-if we're lucky and the is no way in hell we'll know this! Last night's category fell into the third category. Subject: OPERA! How many remember that in junior high we took a semester devoted to the symphony and one devoted to opera and then we went to San Francisco to see each. I know EXACTLY ONE opera--the one I studied in 8th grade. So here was the clue: one of the lines in an aria says "put on your costume and your make-up. People want to laugh." OMG, it's Pagliacci!---the one and only opera I know. And it was! My husband who is from New York was impressed. "We didn't have anything like that in school!" So thanks, Piedmont school district. You made me look really smart last night!
