Stephanie White has more connections to Purdue — she played there herself, and won a national championship.

Call of Cthulhu is a good intro RPG, in my opinion, because the players are (usually!) playing humans in our world. You may be playing someone in 1928, or where/whenever, but you come to it with a basic understanding of what humans are, and do. And how you’d likely react, if you were for some odd reason to happen upon…

I spent a Christmas alone once, in another country. It was hard. In hindsight, the one thing I wish I’d done was find someplace to volunteer, because there were plenty of places that could’ve used the help on that day — shelters and kitchens and whatnot. And doing so would’ve put me in the company of people, in a way…

The Spanish restaurant Jaleo — the one near the Nat’l Portrait Gallery — is just spectacular. Am also a big fan of the Spy Museum, which is right near there, too.

I once spent Thanksgiving by myself (well, just me and the dog), and in a concession to Mom, did eat turkey...but in the form of turkey tacos. Delicious! It was a great day full of naps, long dog walks, football, movies, and food at normal times instead of the TG 4:00 binge.

Colts would never do it because Jittery Jimmy Irsay is too afraid to piss off Forrest Lucas, noted Trump buddy and Big Money Man (of Lucas Oil Stadium fame).

Noted Trump buddy Forrest Lucas would never allow it! And Jimmy’s too afraid of him. (But I’d love to see it, for many reasons.)

Pizza Rat would turn down Papa John’s. That pizza is butt.

Tarik Glenn should change his name to “Holding, number 78, offense”

Brissett also gets sole credit for some of those sacks, because he won’t throw the fucking ball. Sometimes he has time for a reasonable throw, and he gets analysis paralysis. (Also a Colts fan.)

Alana Davis’s cover of 32 Flavors has a great sound:

Gwyneth Paltrow should crawl on her hands and knees to Cate Blanchett’s place and hand over that fucking statue.

And that would have been last year’s biggest snub except for the unconscionable overlooking of Taraji P. Henson in Hidden Figures, who in my personal estimation should not only have been nominated, but who well might have won the damned thing. Adams was fantastic in Arrival.

Next: I hope to try, soon, making the Latvian Pork Stew featured in the Amor Towles novel A Gentleman in Moscow. The host of my book group followed the recipe from the author for the night we discussed this excellent and charming book, and it was absolutely delicious — and deceptively simple.

Indianapolis also has a Seed Library

I’m a big fan of the Musical Instrument Museum. Has some really cool stuff. I also concur with earlier recommendations of Taliesin West.

And he basically ended it with “Gesundheit!” Great leadership from the New Fuhrer there. >:(

The Speedway Sparkplugs

that is literally all I can see (even though I now know the truth)

Best of luck with your dorsal coif.
