Trevor - you still on J this Monday?
Pretty sure you said June 16, and I haven't heard otherwise, so I better set my recorder. (Unfortunately, I can no longer see these things in advance. My time machine no longer works...a victim of progress, of all things.)
And, hopefully, it will not just be Monday.

Hey AD, thanks for asking!
And Slam, thanks for answering!
As Slam said, my J! appearance is scheduled to be on/begin on this Monday.
After three months, I'll be just about as surprised as anyone as to what the clues are - I don't even remember any of the categories. It's all just a blur.
I am working on a blog where I will chronicle the experience if anyone is interested or if they think it might help their own efforts.
I'll post the address when I get a few entries in.

Congratulations, Dave. You were impressive!
Although I feared I was going to miss today's J! because of the golf tournament, my local station showed signs of intelligence. They used the shortened first time slot to show a truncated version of the J! rerun and the half-hour slot to broadcast the new show in full. I will hope to keep watching you for days and weeks to come.
In addition, thank you for the blog. You've already given me answers to several questions about Jeopardy! production that hadn't yet bubbled up to the top of my brain, and I have waded into the electronic flash card site. I will be a regular blog reader for as long as you'll keep writing.

Great blog. Dave. Thanks for sharing with us.

An even greater game. I was pulling for you to run the category on "boy" and hated it when the last clue stumped you, but at least no one else got it either. Then you ran another category later! Enjoyed it very much and looking forward to tomorrow.

Dave, you were a "buzz"-saw out there. It's been a long time since I've seen a defending champ remain so quiet for so long. The game dynamics graph at the J-archive site is quite telling.
I might not get to watch tomorrow's show, but I hope to see a lot of you later this week.

I am lovin' the blog! You really give it a "You are there!" voice.
Can't wait for 4:30, and your first appearance as Jeopardy! Champ.

And again I say, WOW!
This is such fun to watch. You were much more relaxed during the chat with Alex, so I can only assume you are enjoying the aisle seat?
See you tomorrow.
