I watched a couple of my favorite episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer tonight. The show was once one of my favorites and creator Joss Whedon could do no wrong. I loved Buffy, Firefly, The Avengers and Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. I even watched Agents of SHIELD. But eventually, it came to light that Joss wasn’t the feminist he claimed to be, repeatedly cheated on his wife, and verbally abused many of the people he worked with, especially Charisma Carpenter.
Turned in my final paper for the class I’m taking this semester. Not completely happy with it, but finished with it for now.

Dealing with replacing my wife’s totaled car is a full time job.
My wife and son were in a car accident last week and her car was pretty much destroyed. Liz and Ryan were fine, but a tree impaled their car, going through the headlight, engine and stopping between the headrests.
She just got a notification from her iPhone reminding her where she “parked” her car.
So even though I don’t work on the athletics side of things at the University of South Carolina, it’s going to be a fun couple of weeks celebrating Dawn Staley and these amazing Gamecocks.
National champs! Great game, Gamecocks!

Anyone have recommendations for fountain pen friendly notecards?

New women’s basketball fans who’ve been following Caitlin Clark are about to discover that undefeated, #1 South Carolina has flown under the radar this season because they don’t have one star player, they have nine. Will be a great game on Sunday. Looking forward to it. 🏀

Panera closed an old location near us and built a brand new building. We ate at the new location tonight. It’s nice, but is significantly smaller, has kiosks for ordering, a drive thru, pick up area and outdoor seating. It seems like a post-COVID design, with less emphasis on being a community space and more focus on ordering ahead and picking up to-go orders.

Is it just me or are people and companies extra April Foolsy this year? Sigh
