I've been informed that although a picture was posted, I didn't explain my encounter with Alex Trebek on my blog. People have asked, "Who's that guy your with?" and "Is that your dad?" Obviously not Jeopardy fans, I will recount our meeting to clarify. I was sitting in Lima, Peru waiting for my flight to Santa Cruz. After 2 days of travel and very little sleep, I needed some fuel for my fire. Just as I started to doze off, a strapping older man caught my attention...could it be? Weeknights at 7pm have been spent with him for decades. And there he was, sitting just across the room from me. As I thought of a witty way to approach him, all I could mutter out was "ARE YOU ALEX TREBEK?" Classy. I talked to him and his wife Jeannie about my trip to Bolivia for a few minutes and documented it in photo. I think I even said the ultimate star struck phrase, "I'm a huge fan." So there you have it.

Joel has been wondering if your meeting with Alex Trebec has disqualified you from appearing on the show in the future.
Just the other day we saw the Jeopardy episode where Alex reads the question from Peru!
