That makes sense. Time to ponder, BTW: when's my deadline?

Coming back to concede
BTW: a notoriously confusingly laid out building at my alma mater is named Weatkey.
I don't get it.

A fictionalized version of him appeared in his father's books about Winnie-the-Pooh: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Robin_Milne
And a recent movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_Robin_(film)
I was referring to the Dope game with that comment.
VERY nice pick with Christopher Robin! The movie looks good, may see it.
Shall I pick a letter?
Sorry, I still don't get the Weatkey reference.
Yes, please pick a letter.
