Binging: when we had our daughter, we quickly learned that the mixture of exhaustion and sleep only coming in three hour chunks (assuming you don’t go 100% formula, you’re pumping that often out of biological necessity) meant that Things With A Plot were a problem. Our go to’s in that phase:

1) Great British Bake Off- chill vibes, easy to miss a segment/episode due to unexpected nap and still keep up

2) Nailed It- different vibes, same outcome

Brian - some day I will watch Zoo. I was a devoted fan of TV Avalanche and will one day Not Bob Benson slap a senior member of the US military. I confirmed today that it is available on Paramount Plus, which gives me comfort.

1 - at the risk of raising a painful memory, I was once invited to a Super Bowl XXXIX party in Indiana that was hosted by Eagles fans. The spread was all Philly favorites and I remember eating way too many Tastycakes. It was also the year they premiered the Batman Begins trailer during the game. I also like Jason Kelce more than Travis Kelce. Maybe just because he looks like he gives wonderful hugs. Your thoughts?

2 - I can't remember what your feelings are on non-Koontzian sci-fi, but have you watched The Expanse. I feel like Amos Burton would very much be a character in your wheelhouse.

I'm not sure whether either of those really qualify as questions, but I'm just happy this blog exists.

I love fake names more than I should. Sometimes, I go through the list of attendees on meetings or email recipients to search for good fake names. Recently, I found out there is an ophthalmologist named Kevin Blinder.
