Segel Train: Departures Daily

Y'all, I apologize. It has been the craziest week, but in a good way. You know those times when you feel positively challenged by work, proud of yourself for "being a grownup," getting to hang out with old friends and comparatively newer friends who've moved away and are back visiting? That's been my week. It's been great, but when I get home, I've pretty much hopped straight into the 'ol jimjams and fired up the DVR.

Excuses now out of the way, here are your Sweet Sixteen result...

What You're Thankful For

Predictions re: Round One:

Who do you think is going to make it into the playoffs (and I mean in the “public” bracket, not ours)? Just like the NCAA, we’ll be able to modify our Final Four as the bracket progresses. Right now, I’m going to have to go with Chris Messina, McConaughey (it’s a tough choice over Cruise, but I feel he’s more relevant), Zefron (or Timberlake), and Bradley Cooper, although I think that’ll be a slight win over Pratt. What do you think?

THE AMERICANS

October called for being the best I could be - early voting, stimulating the economy by buying lots of fall-themed lattes, reading books, actually listening to voicemails before deleting them… But now, November is a time of giving. THANKSgiving. And in the spirit of both civic responsibility and thanks, I will rise to the occasion of giving. Because, to quote our great patriot Reese Witherspoon, "I am an American citizen."

For this Thanksgiving season, Haley Bragg and I have turned our focus from Great Britain to  the colonies and we need your help as we narrow the field and name the hottest American.
