Congrats to Ken Jennings

Posted on November 14, 2006 by Bob

He and his wife just had a new daughter last night.  Caitlin Elizabeth Jennings.  Mother and child are both in perfect health.

Caitlin will qualify for Jeopardy! Kids Week in 9 years and 364 days.

Ken tells me that Mindy went into labor last night while reading Prisoner of Trebekistan.

So that’s another thing the book is good for — inducing labor.

What really happens when you lend $25 via Kiva.org to help an overseas mom-and-pop business? I followed my own money all the way to clients in Peru, Nepal, Cambodia, Lebanon, Kenya, and a dozen other countries. Do you really get paid back? And does it really do any good?
