Holy forced spontaneity! It's the Impromptu Superdraft II! What: This is a supers draft. You'll be making one selection each weekday, starting tomorrow (Monday, March 4th) and running until Friday, March 15th. All selections are exclusive. Who: All the usual rules about different versions of the same character apply. In short, different characters with the same name are fine; different versions of the same character are out. (For example, if Ant-Man Hank Pym is drafted, you could still draft Ant-Man Scott Lang, but not Yellowjacket Hank Pym.) When: You will make a pick each weekday, starting tomorrow, at noon Eastern Time. No, I don't know what time that is where you live. Google probably does. We will draft over the weekend. A poll will be posted on or around March 22nd; you are encouraged to use the intervening week to finish up picks, post fiction, etc. NOTE: The United States moves to Daylight Savings Time on Sunday morning, March 10th. That means we set our clocks forward one hour. This will adjust when you get to draft halfway through. Sorry, not my idea. How: Each day you will make a selection (usually a character) to fit a certain archetype or role. Everyone will select the same type each day...but you won't know what that type is until a couple of hours before it's time to make the pick. The description of who or what you're choosing each day will be revealed no later than 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the day in question. Picks that do not fit the daily theme will be disqualified. I will act as final arbiter of whether or not a pick fits the daily theme, but I am open to reasonable persuasion. Why: Because we haven't done a Superdraft yet this year. Why not start this way? I think that pretty well covers it. If you have questions along the way, feel free to ask. In keeping with long established tradition, your first pick (i.e., Monday's pick) is the location for your story. The theme for Tuesday's pick will be revealed Tuesday morning. Enjoy, everyone!

Mornings are so much better for me now that I've switched from coffee to orange juice. The doctor says it's the vitamin C and the natural sugars, but I think it's probably the vodka.

My Dad has celiac disease and buys quite a bit of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free products. I've had them, and they taste like actual food—not always the case with gluten-free stuff. RIP, Bob.

Have you ever seen Murder By Death? It lampoons murder mystery tropes in much the same way. So far, I feel the best bit of Lower Decks was the crossover episode with Strange New Worlds. Especially Commander Ransom's comment about Number One being "the hottest First Officer in the fleet".

One writer at CBS Sports is projecting Russell Wilson to the Raiders after his release from Denver in a few days: 2024 NFL QB matchmaker: Kirk Cousins to Falcons, Jacoby Brissett to Vikings, 17 other logical veteran moves Another writer has also proposed releasing Jarrett Stidham. picking up an affordable veteran QB, and selecting a rookie QB in the middle rounds of the upcoming draft: 5-step quarterback plan for the Broncos in 2024 I also saw an article suggesting that Zach Wilson might end up in Denver, but I'm not going to dignify that with a link.

After being ranked in the Top 25 since November, BYU dropped to first among "Others receiving votes" this week. I don't expect the Cougars will be unranked for long. BYU stuns No. 7 Kansas, snapping Jayhawks' 67-game home winning streak against unranked teams

The hard-fought struggle between malaise and ennui.

A young law student has just failed his final exam. In desperation, he goes to see his professor. "Professor," he asks, "you are one of the most brilliant minds in this department, are you not?" "So I've been told," replies the professor. "All right," the young man says, "I have a legal question for you. If you can answer it, I will accept the failing grade without complaint. But if you cannot answer it, you must agree to give me an A. Are you willing to accept those terms?" The professor thinks about it for a moment and then says, "Yes, I will accept those terms. What is your question?" The young student asks, "What is legal but not logical, logical but not legal, and neither legal nor logical?" The professor racks his brain for some time, but is ultimately unable to come up with an answer and changes the student's course grade to an A. The student thanks him and goes on his way. The next morning the professor still hasn't come up with an answer, so he asks the group of his TAs the question. Much to his surprise, the TAs immediately indicate that they know the answer. He asks one of them to explain. She says, "You are 62 years old, but you are married to a woman who's 25 years old, which is legal but not logical. Your wife has a 23-year-old lover, which is logical but not legal. And you just gave your wife's lover an A in your course, which is neither legal nor logical."

I saw more of Terry Bradshaw than I ever wanted to in the movie Failure to Launch.

ot this book for Christmas, forgot about it asa soon as we got back from Colorado. Rediscovered it a few days ago and began reading. There's a lot of crazy recipes in here, but Dylan says he only included the ones that taste good (with the exception of five really awful ones at the end). Gonna have to try some of these soon.
