Seems like everyone is chasing the holy grail of the single box that can do everything (pretty) well. So you get smokers-that-can-also-grill (like Traeger/MAK) and grills-that-can-also-smoke (like Memphis).

G-man, if I ate like you I'd be fatter than Jeff's wallet.

Anyone tried a Bellroy wallet? I need a new one and Smythson are too chunky now that Colin's got me wearing skin-tight jeans.

Insomnia's back. On the plus side, few extra hours a day for low volume, high drama listening.
