Seriously, sumi. Although to my not-perfect ear, it sounds like the standards for "tuned" were pretty low. I can see why they thought it was a good idea, though -- most tasks on the race don't call for any particular skill other than willingness.
Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Art Crawl!!!
Yeah, the difficulty with doing the task is balanced by the ease in figuring out the clue once they have it. And I wonder can anyone really come back from a 12= hour deficit ?

Yes, they are and seriously? Arriving in the dark must make it even eerier. Also, I guess they figured out a way to get people caught pretty darn quickly.

Yeah. That was a nice balance of having them there, but not doing some stupid ass task. Although, it reminds me that I wish there had been a little more consciousness about the landmine task.

Okay, what happens if someone is a vegetarian??

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, that sucks, ita. I'm sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In March I got a job and didn't go to the ER once. That's not inconsiderable.
However, I am greedy. Harrumph.
Just got a lovely email from someone chastising me for not having Eduardo Verastegui pictures up on my site. I replied to her that I did, and found one more for giggles. As I was going through my unsorted pictures, I found some more, put them up, and emailed her about it. She ends her email with:
You have one of the most interesting internet hobbies out there. Blog schmog.
Which is sweet.
I do have pie, though...

Yeah, I figured that out. The kids were distracting me and I thought they had to do both.
