Our owner, Mary Harris, will be on Jeopardy next Tuesday, April 17. We will be closing at 6 pm and having a party up the street at the Pig n’ Whistle to cheer her on. Mary says, I’ve been a fan of the show just about my whole life. I’ve taken the annual online test many times and made it to the audition stage three times. Taping the show was about the most fun I’ve had in my whole life, but I can’t tell you in advance how I did. It doesn’t really matter for me because it was all about the experience: visiting the Sony studios, seeing how the show was put together, and meeting Alex Trebek. Jeopardy! airs at 7:30 p.m. on KOMO...
