Starting my Thursday by leaving aside the thought of the Bulls playing on Friday for the right to get destroyed by the Celtics in round 1 just so I can celebrate Coby White being Coby White.
I said I'd give myself time to get my thoughts together after #ACPT2024 but they've pretty much constantly been "what!!! what the!!!" so just gonna post through it. Surreal weekend, which I'm still trying to wrap my head around
Keeping a very, very close watch on SARR both for basketball reasons and crossword ones. Talk about great letters.

@evanbirnholz Fun! Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try it this afternoon.
