Boy, I must have been busy the past couple of weeks . . . I've missed everything from the top page 2 all the way down , until yesterday morning (and even then, it was a fleeting glance ).

In any case, I think Chester and I have an excellent chance of being at the earlier quiz time (that'll be 5 AM for us, not quite as early as it was for smokey the first few times ).

I have a feeling that with the "heavy artillery" Arthur is using, we're going to be left in the dust . There is definitely a difference between a retired gentleman and a harried homeschooling mother of 6 (well . . . only 4 left at home, but the two grandkids are here almost every day . . . ). I am really looking forward to this - thanks, Arthur, for picking up on this truly fun event and keeping it going! There's no way I could have been preparing for it right now myself.

Here's another difference I've heard between above and below the equator - north of the equator, water flows in a counter clock-wise direction down the drain, and south of the equator it swirls clock-wise (can you verify that, smokey?).

Now to get back to the topic at hand, noon UK time would be 5 AM our time (now that we're into Daylight Savings Time). That would work much better on a Saturday morning, as on Sunday mornings we are getting ready for church, and it's just too hectic. The Mrs. and I would be quite willing to get up early on a Saturday morning to join you folks. And the Mrs. would gladly defer to Arthur as quiz master, as putting the questions together for her is time consuming, and this is a particularly busy time of year for her.

Well, as I stated previously, we're smack in the middle of softball (14 year old daughter) and soccer ( 7 year old grandson), plus trying to wind up the end of the school year by the middle of June. After that, I could probably pull it off. Of course, it is a little difficult to be in front of the computer in the middle of a Saturday, which is when it would be here for an evening in the UK and early morning down under .

Maybe Arthur could be quiz master! I think he would be awesome! (No pressure here, my friend, just a suggestion ).

So that's all I have to add to this at this time!
