Maybe it's an East coast mentality, but when my patients ask me about how my kids are doing and I say that daughter #2 is a USC freshman but online from home, they seem to usually think she is enrolled at a school in South Carolina and not California.
p.s. we all wish she could get to LA asap but unclear if/when that might happen

For the record, I was forced to use fountain pens from 3rd thru 8th grade and still mostly used them through high school.

I have an online subscription, but a separate subscription is required for the crossword.

BITD, when my main writing instrument was a mechanical pencil, I preferred 0.5mm HB "lead".

For the players not involved in the playoffs, I hear theyre loving Covid for the anonymity the masks (and shades) provide. They can walk around like regular human beings.

Have you ever seen the documentary "Wordplay? Good documentary. The second half of the film is set at the 2005 American Crossword Puzzle Tournament. I used to work with the woman who won the C group that year. She appears in the film ever so briefly twice.

wut
Here people disparagingly refer to it as USCjr.
Maybe it's an East coast mentality, but when my patients ask me about how my kids are doing and I say that daughter #2 is a USC freshman but online from home, they seem to usually think she is enrolled at a school in South Carolina and not California.
