This week, Brooke Husic drops by the FMI studio to offer the Announcement of the Year — who is making puzzles for Lollapuzzoola! Is there more? Well, yes: how to count, how to order food in Russia, how to alienate a brilliant web designer ... typical stuff. #crossword #podcast bemoresmarter.com/fmi

i’m not able to show up in person this year to defend my title, so i hope everyone has a blast 💖💖 what a lineup!!

The products I worked on are now in more than 30,000,000 vehicles around the world, with that number growing every day. I'm so grateful for the oppotunity at Ford Motor Company to be part of the Product Development team!

Definitely dumb. Everyone knows zero divided by zero is 1.

Getting old is limiting the end times to 15 min after sunset.

Those poor seniors.

I still have a great fondness for Mystery Men, in general, and The Spleen, in particular.

IKEA, just some oak and some pine and a handful of Norse men.

It has been a really crazy day of one unexpected win after another. But the most surprising part of the day was figuring out Letter Boxed in only 2 words.

Helium balloons float because He is risen

A former co-worker in the Boston area and her husband went to a seminar held by Dunkin on how to open new stores. Apparently, you couldn't open just one, you had to open FIVE: one to store serve as the bakery that would serve four other retail-only shops. No wonder they're everywhere.

I stopped reading after I got here: "Mr. Cass is the chief economist at American Compass, a conservative economic think tank, and writes the newsletter Understanding America."

This is high art

If you knew anything about Vero, you'd know that Waffle House is far too plebian. But First Watch, I'd believe.

I wish I lived in Michigan so I could vote for you.

This week, Ryan and Brian share the glory of the non-defunct XWordInfo (acrostics, anyone?), spill the news of the ACPT constructor lineup, and recognize no particular connection between Irish soda bread and Tucson native Alex Verdugo. #crossword #podcast buff.ly/3K5FPyh

So glad to be in the audience at the #Arsht Center in Miami last night for the New World Symphony performance of Britten's "War Requiem", featuring the Master Chorale of South Florida, the Girl Choir of South Florida, and Florida Singing Sons. #NWS #MCSF #GCSF #FSS
