Love obscure sporting events! I've caught Archery Tag, the World Dog Surfing Championships, competitive Air Guitar and even a mullet competition on random ESPN channels late at night.

I remember her a bit from college. That’s terrible news. I’m sorry for your loss.

Tubi now has Human Target, which unfortunately only lasted 2 seasons in 2010-2011, but had great stunts and music. I think it fits your parameters.

Tell your goofball that his spelling bee would take me weeks to solve. Weeks! 930 words with 53 pangrams!! He needs to watch out for that S and also for ER. The NYT (almost) never includes those combos, because how well they work.

It’s a favorite in our house. My oldest is big into puzzles, too. They do a lot of puzzle hunts.

This is the kind of laser-focused geekery that I live for. The true Turing Test is explaining the Spider-Man Clone Saga to your grandmother.
