Audition is tomorrow! I had to fill out two forms for it, one for eligibility checks (I don't work for any TV studios, I have never appeared on Jeopardy! with Alex Trebek, I haven't been on a game show since 2000, I think the last time I was on TV at all was for three seconds in the background of a news clip about the 9/11 response, and I'm not running for political office) and one for Things Alex Can Talk To Me About If I Get On The Show. Five things, no need to be more than one-liners. Wound up putting down the following:

- Working on my private pilot's license, about thirty hours into my rotorcraft certification training
- I worked for the Red Cross from 1998 to 2004-2005 and was one of the on-site volunteers for 9/11 and Katrina, among other disasters
- I climb skyscrapers for charity including the RCA Tower at Rockefeller Center, the former John Hancock building (it's 200 Clarendon Street now- the John Hancock company moved out), and several others
- I make beaded jewelry as a hobby, mostly with seed beads and crystals, and
- My great-grandfather successfully defended himself against charges of high treason against the Crown of England despite being a gold miner with no legal training (unless you want to count several years as a policeman of some sort in Australia but I don't think that really helps against, y'know, treason charges)

Seem reasonable to you?

Good luck!

Those all seem like excellent one-liners for pithy Chatting With Alex Trebek!

Best of luck!

Wait, you were in a game show in 2000? Which one?

History IQ, on the History Channel, with Marc Summers. I won about $1300. The check arrived right as my car's alternator died and the tires were starting to wear out, so it was a very welcome thing.

Ha, I think those are awesome one-liners. Break a leg!
