1 - The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, more commonly known as The Iditarod, is an annual long-distance sled dog race held in Alaska in early March. It travels from Anchorage to Nome. Dallas Seavey came across a Moose that was attacking his dogs during the race and was penalized for not gutting it correctly. Wild race to read about.

A panel of race officials handed down a two-hour penalty for the infraction, which will be added to Seavey’s mandatory 24-hour rest.

2 - You can buy a remake of Jason Kelce’s infamous Mummers Super Bowl Parade Hat.

Jason Kelce’s iconic Mummers hat is being discontinued. You have until April 30 to buy one.

Costume designer James May came out of retirement when Jason Kelce wore the green-and-gold hat he designed to the 2018 Super Bowl Victory Parade. In the years since, he's made over 4,000 replicas.

2 rabbit holes:

1 - Ryan Holiday - author of The Daily Stoic, The Obstacle is the Way, and Ego is the Enemy shares his 37 pieces of career advice.

37 Pieces of Career Advice I Wish I’d Known Earlier - RyanHoliday.net

From my first desk job working at my college newspaper. My first job was working at a small deli and grocery store in Lake Tahoe when I was 15. It was a job that came full circle some twenty years later when my wife and I bought a place called ​Tracy’s Drive-In Grocery​ in 2021, a little place that’s been in business since 1940. I’ve had my fair share of gigs in between. I worked in fast food. I was the director of marketing for a publicly traded company. I’ve been a lifeguard. I dropped out of college to be a research assistant to an author. I worked a desk at a talent agency in Beverly Hills. I’ve started multiple businesses. I’ve freelanced. [...]

1 listen:

1 - 54-46 Was My Number - Toots & The Maytals. Per wikipedia:

"54-46 (That's My Number)" is a song by Fred "Toots" Hibbert, recorded by Toots and the Maytals, originally released on the Beverley's label in Jamaica and the Pyramid label in the UK. A follow-up version released a year later, "54-46 Was My Number", was one of the first reggae songs to receive widespread popularity outside Jamaica, and is seen as being one of the defining songs of the genre. It has been anthologised repeatedly and the titles of several reggae anthologies include "54-46" in their title.

The lyrics describe Toots' time in prison after being arrested for possession of marijuana.

Cheers,
