All good things must come to an end


This is the phrase that came to mind during Finial Jeopardy this evening. I did not know its origin, so I looked on-line and found that Geoffrey Chaucer penned the phrase in his poem titled "Troilus and Criseyde," completed in the mid-1380s.

Julia did not quite seem at the top of her game this evening. But that in no way detracts from her wonderful accomplishment over the past four weeks. We will miss her sweet smile and calm manner, and look forward to seeing her on future “Jeopardy Tournaments of Champions.”

Love,
