Well, maybe now people will stop squawking about the format of the latest J! tournament... ok, prolly not.  Anyways, conveniently ignoring the elephant in the room...well, I sort of liked it... the whole switching per round is a good a way as any to get three people to play J! at once, and the draft... well, good stuff.  I didn't necessarily like the extra padding, but, as I noted... nowadays, anyone can go online and blog about the J! experience; but, a generation ago, you couldn't; it was only in a few books.  I guess the mystery of the experience is a lot less now, and people, like me, just want to answer questions.

PQ last nite...came in second, which was impressive, as it was just Dee and myself.  So there was a big payoff, and while I do not like not winning... it wasn't the worst experience.

This, in the New Yorker???  I've added it to the book list, so in 2021 -- at this pace -- I will get along to it.  I like Hanson, in the way I like Clay Travis (quite the comparison); I may not agree with what they say, but I like how they present it, and at the end of it I can say "I get where they come from."
