Thumbs Up Grass – The type on the ground. Shoutout to Leahy’s grass by Stokes for making such an incredible rebound. It looked like a battlefield after College Gameday, and our pre-Thanksgiving snow day didn’t especially help it recover from its hangover, no matter how much Gatorade we could conceivably pour on it.

I Need To Stop Talking About Emails: TU/TD
“Thanks, BC, for giving us not what we want, but what we need.”
Rating the Apps on Macs: TU/TD
“It’s just a backup browser that has a less appealing appearance and a much creepier knowledge of your preferences.”
