Spring is upon us and so is the pollen (so much pollen!). Also coming soon is the NCAA basketball tournament. We plan to set up a tournament bracket group and will send information next week, in case you would like to participate.

• Dune: Part 2 premiered last Friday. We love the book and thought the first movie was great. This one builds and accelerates, and is a visual feast worth seeing on the big screen.

• According to Axios, “Tex-Mex and Latin” food (it's ridiculous to lump those cuisines together, but we digress) has overtaken “Italian” as America’s favorite food.

• Ross Edgley was the first person to swim around Britain without once setting foot on land during the swim. It took 157 days and over 600 bananas. He describes the experience in his book, The Art of Resilience.

• Some friends used extra space in a mall to build an apartment that they used for 4 years! A new documentary tells the story.
