4 AM:  You Don't Say!
5 AM:  Countdown
6 AM:  Beat the Clock.

Thanks in advance for your support for the kids!

A bit surprising that being at the Tropicana, "Las Vegas Gambit" is not one of the games being played during the marathon.  At least "Ceasar's Challenge" is a hometown representative.

I'm only the messenger.  I was not on the game selection committee.

If I was the only person on the game selection committee, I'm not sure the line-up would be much different than this.  I love these choices, almost universally, and I'll look forward to seeing what the gang does with them.

We're 10 1/2 hours away from the marathon starting.  We're at over $1600 in donations, well over $400 of that tonight from an unstreamed marathon of $25,000 Pyramid.  We hope to reach our $2500 goal tomorrow.  We're way over halfway there.  We can do it and we'd appreciate it if you helped.  The schedule, a link to our stream, and a link to donate can be found at http://www.homegameenterprizes.com/marathon.html.

Thanks as always for your support!
