If you've read Prisoner of Trebekistan, Lyn Payne is:

(a) the fellow contestant upon whose shoulder I put my head when I survived the first round of the 1998 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions while suffering from a lousy fever,

(b) the fierce competitor who pushed me into the "Compleat Angler" Final Jeopardy moment in the semis,

(c) a real sweetheart, and

(d) going to be on Millionaire tomorrow (and possibly, I think, the next day if she does well).

I hope she won the whole giant kaboodle. Will be watching. Go Lyn!
