Germany has declared war on Russia. Swimming in the afternoon. —Franz Kafka’s diary, August 2, 1914 Feeling this in Mpls: Teaching poems to H.S. students in the afternoon, delivering food to housebound immigrants in the evening, then coming home to watch “The Office” before bedtime. Surreal.

We definitely would not have had sex in the first episode. It would have been about a whole team with 20 other players and their wives and anything to dilute the essence of what this was. We had one executive tell us, “What this show really needs is a female main character.”
