Now imagining Tim rigging up the infamous drill press to precisely bonk Tep in the head...
Ha! I am extra glad that drill press is no longer in the driveway!

Y’all. In an era when literally the only tv I’ve watched this year is re-heating Heated Rivalry, a couple episodes of Bridgerton, and the superbowl…I’ve been selected to be a Nielsen family?! I guess they also do radio ratings. Random. They sent a thing to my house last week but it was addressed to an old roommate (with a $10 bill in it to thank her for her time) but they called me? And I guess even though I am not her it’s still fine. Ok?

Oh, interesting! I'm very curious about what they even measure these days

Aw, crap, I totally forgot I bought a ticket to something tonight. I will have to actually get dressed shortly. Ah well, at least I remembered now and now after it was over and I missed it, I guess

Something called Dumpling Fest, which I thought would be walking around to a multitude of restaurants sampling dumplings but seems to be more driving from one restaurant to two others in sequence sampling dumplings. Which I'm sure will still be plenty of dumplings! Just, three restaurants seems kind of paltry for a Fest

I guess it depends on the restaurant. There was a hole in the wall place in Chapel Hill that specialized in dumplings. It must have had 15–20 different kinds. I hope at least one of your three is similar, -t.

Good point! I should keep an open mind

More of a Festlette. Maybe a Progressive Dumpling Dinner.

Man, I wish I had a root and some dumplings.
