this michigan team has made a lot of opponents quit, but I'm not sure anyone's quit harder than ohio state did today.

sometimes i think about how utterly terrified i was in november and december 2016. and how things have more or less turned out worse than I'd feared since.

just wrote down the first entry in a new recipe book. yesterday i spent a few hours making shepherd's pie (technically cottage pie, because my wife won't eat lamb). was really nice to slow down and prepare a hearty meal during a snowstorm.

pozole's on the menu today.

24 combined points against indiana and miami. ohio state is the program that dares to ask "what if iowa had prime randy moss"

snow day vibes: big dog chillin in the backyard and barking at passing plow trucks, small dog cuddled up on the couch with my wife under a heated blanket.

I like the whittingham hire just fine but getting big "he's restoring dignity and honor to the white house" vibes among michigan fans
