AMC is running all the episodes in a marathon this week. Going back to season one, I am forced to reconsider Shane. I thought he was duplicitous and bad from the start. But, he basically was OK, but he snapped. Not long after Rick found them, he started to lose it. His hyper-violent response to Caro...

Things I hear are not being able to adjust to the era of one-and-done; while going after national talent, not taking care of locking down the best LA talent; his defense-first approach too difficult to get kids to buy into, in a run-and-gun league. Probably covered in that SI article.

Ok, Expensify. They gave me ten free Smart Scans. After that, $0.20 each. In January, I had 18 receipts (mostly taxis); that would be $3.60. I think I can handle that cost. Not sure if it is worth it, on a larger scale, but it is cool and convenient.
