It seems a bit creepy that I feel this way, but that is REALLY touching.

Apparently, Ken is physically incapable of doing anything more than 74 times in a row, which, all things considered, is still pretty awesome.

(I know. I just put 75% of the readers' minds in the gutter, while the remaining 25%, led by Village Idiot Professor John, are just wondering what I'm talkinaboutWillis.)

Tip of the hat to your blog title for 8/28, Ken. That Connells album (Ring) is pretty darn good.

After thinking up that title, I've had the Connells in my head all day. Oddly, it's the hook from "New Boy" though.

I agree. When I read it yesterday, I thought it was a very "solid" thing to do. Funny how quickly 74 days goes by in real time, as opposed to Jeopardy! time.

The Jeopardy "74 days" was stretched out a bit by a couple tournaments, weekends, a six-week hiatus, etc. America's hard-working bloggers, of course, have a much more grueling schedule. :)

Speaking of people with grueling schedules, let's acknowledge the newspaper cartoonist and his/rarely-her seven-day-a-week deadline to put funny in an ever-shrinking rectangular space, as very weirdly memorialized by Broom Hilda last week (continuing through five strips).
