Some rather expensive memorabilia

The Brady Bunch house is on the market for only $1.855 million.

Update: the house has sold!

And another update: the house has sold to someone else.

Funny, I always thought of the Brady Bunch as a comedy rather than a drama ...

Still another update: HGTV is the buyer.

And there was great rejoicing ....

Michigan LSA Dean Andrew Martin, bane of the Michigan economics department, is leaving!

I am told that the party in Lorch Hall will continue until his departure in early November.

A bit of political humor

Movie: Dead Pool 2

The first Dead Pool is one of my favorite comic books movies ever. The second one is more of the same, and also clearly aiming to start a new franchise.

The NYT review captures it well, though marred by some dopey (and unnecessary) politics at the end.

Thought question

In a meeting of Donald Trump, Dennis Rodman, and Kim Jong Un, who is the weirdest man in the room?

Thinking about this will help you to clarify your notion of weirdness.
