The snow is piled so deep in our front yard that when Eowyn tried to pee, her whole butt hit the snow.

It has snowed at least every other day since the last week of January.

Yesterday was the first day in two weeks to break 20 degrees.

Claremont Mckenna has interviews "in progress" according to the Wiki, which is Not A Good Sign.

I'm so tired. I've been having those nights where I'm really exhausted but my brain is too stressed and active to actually let me fall asleep.

But the Rome game begins today, and then I go teach a 1933 Busby Berkeley movie and 7Brides for 7 Brothers and History of the World, Part I.

who all reading this is terrified that we're going to go to war with Iran by the end of March?

Also, for the Rome game:
I'm thinking of introducing a rule to model the veto power over laws possessed by the 10 tribunes of the plebs. My plan is to give each faction 1 tribune, each of whom can veto a law or candidate once. You can veto a veto, but that uses up your veto as well. Hopefully, this should provide for canny strategizing and not silliness? (In actual history, the tribunes could veto as often as they wanted, but this seems likely to lead to disaster.)
