Cup VI: With One Breath, With One Flow, You Will Know ...

Tea: Pu-er Dante/Mango

Music: Theme from "Jeopardy!"; The Police, "Synchronicity I"

Time: Afternoon

So maybe it's not a complete synchronicity. It's close, though.

Three days after I grumbled about making the Jeopardy! contestant pool and never getting a call to be on the show, I find out the Jeopardy! Brain Bus is going to be in Springfield, Mo., on Tuesday. It's actually going to be closer to here later in the week, in Grandview, Mo., but I have a writing gig that night.

Springfield's three hours away. Looks as though there's a drive in my future, maybe an overnight stay if I get through the first round of tests -- and, of course, more caffeine.

Wish me luck.
