Great timing

I have a whole bunch to blog about our vacation, but I will have to get to that when I have more time. I want to write about the funny thing that happened in the car last Sunday.

{Name a one word, 5 letter, 2 syllable movie title where the first syllable has a short i sound. Change the short i sound to a long i sound to get a one word, 6 letter, 2 syllable movie title.}

I listen to NPR shows as Podcasts. One that Lord S and I like is the Sunday Puzzle with Will Shortz. We listened to 3 weeks worth that I had saved up. I figured out the answer to the last one (very quickly mind you) and then realized I wouldn’t know the answer until we got off island and downloaded it. Then we thought maybe we could flip around some NPR stations and listen for a while in case the show came on.

I switched the radio tuner to our local NPR (static, we were at least 50 miles away) and then moved around the dial a little. All of a sudden I heard Will Shortz’s voice and stopped. He was saying the answer! I caught the show (whose airtime I don’t actually know) at exactly the right moment to get the answer. Not at the very beginning of the show when they are being introduced, not a minute into the show when they have started the game, but just at the moment Will Shortz says “and the answer is…”

It was very cool.

I was right by the way. {Sicko, Psycho)

One thought on “Great timing

  1. I love when stuff like that happens. It seems like it never happens to me. I always get the part after the answer is said. You know it’s the “that’s our show for this week” part.
