Sorry you couldn't retroactively hear me shouting at the TV screen. As I'm sure you know by now, mead is fermented honey.

Clinton and Bush went to Yale. Carter graduated from the Naval Academy but he was before Reagan, who went to Eureka College (where he did radio broadcasts for sports games, IIRC).

7K: Know Clinton & Bush both Ivys, wracking brains trying to come up w/ Carter's school. Pretty sure ans is Reagan, but 50/50.

10K: Joan Didion named her adopted daughter (now deceased) after this Mexican state. Sorry KP was not enough of Didion fan (I used to be, but in my old age & hers she gets on my nerves) to know this.

[silverscreenselect]

Quintana Roo is on the Yucatan Peninsula; it's the state where the resorts of Cancun and Cozumel are located. Having been on several cruises in that area, I knew that one right away.

[ghostjmf]

And I know a good reading of 7K Q would have seen that they were asking for last pres not an Ivy; since I suspected Reagan not an Ivy, & knew he came after Carter, it didn't matter if Carter Ivy or not. But I didn't read it right.

Good job, Kevin.

[K.P.]

Good job, Kevin.

Thanks! It was worth the wait. It's great being able to tell people how I did finally!
