...was the obvious answer to Jeopardy!'s rare triple-stumper Final Jeopardy question one night last week. The three contestants, Gen-Z members all, failed to give the right anwer, stunning older members of the viewing audience. Gen-Z'ers may know a lot of things we seniors know nothing about, but let it never be forgot that once there was a spot, one brief and shining moment that was known as Camelot that the converse is also true. Seniors know a lot of things about which the Gen-Z'ers haven't a clue.

Thus it is now, and thus has it ever been, that the older generation pities the younger generation even as the younger generation ignores and despises the older generation. I don't say look down their noses at; that would be going a bridge too far.

It's Thanksgiving Week in the U.S.A. and Canada (I don't know whether it is also true elsewhere) and the whole holiday season is upon us once again. I don't include Halloween in 'the whole holiday season' even though judging from the decorations in their yards, many of my neighbors did.

Our whole family, or as many of them as can make it, will be gathering on Thursday at the home of our firstborn who lives about an hour's drive away from us. I'm hoping and praying for you and your family friends entourage rag-tag collection of humanity the same thing I am hoping and praying for our own group, that a good time will be had by all, that all tummies will be full, and that all attendees will make the trip there and back again *waves to Bilbo Baggins* safely.

I recognize that blogposts from here have been sparse this month. I shall endeavor to pick up the pace apace.
