Getting the Band Back Together

 

Last night was the first time my regular trivia team got together at our regular trivia night. We didn't get our regular table, and we're permanently missing one member (ALS, not COVID), but we had a few special guests (husband and young son of a teammate) and a decent waitress, so things were looking up. 

We were in first place at halftime and almost swept the second half. If we had written down one other Robert Downey Jr. movie on our answer slip instead of just on our brainstorming list, and if anyone on the team knew anything about The Handmaid's Tale, we could've had a perfect game, since I managed to figure out the "Name the Flick" question in the final round. 

It was nice to see everyone -- we had tried to play virtual trivia early in the pandemic, but eventually gave up.  Besides, even if we won at home, we didn't get any gift cards that we could transmute into tasty pizza for the table next week.
