Is trivia your thing?

I asked:
"Who is the top music artists of all time?"

Answer: The Beatles
The Beatles are widely recognized as the top music artists of all time across most critical and commercial rankings.
The Beatles were an English rock band that became arguably the most successful act of the 20th century.
They contributed to music, film, literature, art, and fashion, made a continuous impact on popular culture
and the lifestyle of several generations.


 
I was a trivia nut for a long time. My family and my late daughter-in-law's family would automatically get the trivial pursuit games out as soon as we were in the door. We'd go to pubs that featured trivia games all the time.

When I moved into this assisted senior facility, I ran trivia games a couple of times a week, but that no longer exists. Strange, but, while younger people are moving in, they are already on the cusp of Alzheimer's and Dementia, and are unable to participate.

I find it sad that Boomers are really losing it so early in life. There are a few of us in our 90s who have all our marbles yet and that interests me from a medical point of view. I am going to a birthday party next week for a fellow I've befriended here who is turning 100. He fought in the navy during WWII and the marines in the Korean War. Sharp as a tack.

I am not good at trivia involving the rock and roll business. Nor do I know one thing about recent movies or t.v. shows. But, give me that old time stuff and watch out. 😉

Trivia was a big past time for my husband and I. He was very smart and smoked me a lot of times. We did it to help keep our minds active. Since he's gone, sometimes I will do trivia online but it's not the same as having a partner to do it with.
