SPOILER ALERT
If you have not read Quiz #115. The End of an Era just yet, you’re about to read the answer to the “What did NOT happen?” question from that quiz.
Here’s the answer:
What did NOT happen in 2022?
A. In an important footnote to Quiz #144: False Advertising, during a summer visit for an outdoor meal at Bahr’s, Sara and I found out that the NJ seafood restaurant HAS installed electric charging stations in its parking lot;
B. Sara did not join Tim, Laurie and me for that October 20th game against the Padres because our dog Stella was sick. In Sara’s place, we were joined by Philadelphia news icon, Vernon Odom, who had worked with Tim and me at WPVI;
C. As a stark reminder that COVID is not gone, after that Friday night game, Tim and Laurie got COVID. They strongly suspect they got it at the game;
D. Sara and I went to one of the World Series games with John Tindall and his wife, Marisel. John and I had “met” one another playing fantasy football in 2019, but this was our first meeting in real life. They’re both doctors from Texas and John is a huge Astros fan;
E. As part of Steve’s Retirement Quiz, I’ve created a Steve at Work Shutterfly share site with more than 10,000 photos from my life and career in TV news across three local TV stations and 2 broadcast networks.
This is a little bit of a trick question. My fantasy football friend John Tindall and his wife Marisel did fly in from Texas for Game 3 of the World Series in Philadelphia. An hour before the game was set to start, MLB announced that the game was rained out—and the World Series was pushed back a day. Sara and I had yet to park our car when word came that the game was canceled and we picked up John and Marisel who were waiting outside of Citizens Bank Park. We gave them a quick driving tour of Philadelphia and then sat down to a delightful dinner (Thank you John!) at the White Dog Cafe. John and Marisel had to leave the next morning for work so never got to see a game in Philadelphia, but we had a wonderful time meeting them.
