Long time no see. Well it's been a lot of ups and downs and well.....Life happens. Today's blog may be a bit different due to my state of mind and working while writing. As many of you who know me will agree, my brain skips from topic to topic without so much as missing a heart beat. So before I have to delete again, let me get started.
Last nights trivia game was a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to be joined by my friends Mike, Nick and Amanda D. We had fun playing at Casa Blanca in Madison with our hosts Chris and Ronnie.
Round 1: Characters, Words and Sports.
I enjoyed the character question, as you will all know the answer by this song: Who sings this song?
The sports question Nick knew and didn't need a moment to think about it.
As for the words, well, we missed that one and after hearing the answer, we should have gotten it. The definition was: A state of confused movement or violent turmoil. It has to start with M and has 9 letters. So without using google for the answer, I'll share this link and you should be able to figure it out on your own. Good Luck
Round 2: Ballet, Military and Time Zones.
A spinning turn of the body while balanced on one foot is Pirouette

Mike and Nick knew the literature question right off, so that was good for us.

Now at half time, the rule was to list 5 movies that Robert De Niro was the star and was directed by Martin Scorsese. Other than Raging bull and Taxi. The interesting fact here is that these 2 people both grew up a few blocks apart in Greenwich Village area of Manhattan, yet never met until 1972.
The Godfather was directed by Francis Ford Coppola and that really messed us up. We were certain of those, but alas, not correct. Heat was directed by: Michael Mann
