Need another reason to watch Netflix besides quarantine? Lots of awesome episodes from Jeopardy! Season 34 now on Netflix - including Gilbert Collins, Rachel Lindgren, Ryan Fenster - and your favorite nerdcore rapping, tiger suit keyboarding, last place marathoning Tottenham fan!

The heart of it all --- MILFORD GRAVES. Take time, take a soul, take a reading, make an extract, learn a dance, teach it to someone, grow a plant, savor the light, play the dark, and breathe. Thank you Milford for your love of souls. Into the garden we go.
