> Also returning for the second year, the Marketplace Booths will offer up delectable treats and beverages.  A few new delicious options will find their way to the menus.  At the Smokehouse Barbeque booth, guests can try a barbeque chicken leg or the Piggylicious Bacon Cupcakes (mmmm….). 

It will be my honeymoon, and I *will* have a Bacon Cupcake.

TouringPlans has Options to Ring in the New Year at Walt Disney World

I have been at Disney for New Year’s Eve once. The Epcot fireworks I saw that night were *the best* I have ever seen. Hands down.

Of course, we did have to navigate a crazy, crazy amount of people. Still, it was worth it.

Netflix to get Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Iron Fist and Luke Cage Shows

> Led by a series focused on “Daredevil,” followed by “Jessica Jones,” “Iron Fist” and “Luke Cage,” the epic will unfold over multiple years of original programming, taking Netflix members deep into the gritty world of heroes and villains of Hell’s Kitchen, New York.  Netflix has committed to a minimum of four, thirteen episodes series and a culminating Marvel’s “The Defenders” mini-series event that reimagines a dream team of self-sacrificing, heroic characters.

Woah. Huge move by Netflix.

I am, unsurprisingly, pumped about this.

Shakin The Southland’s 2013-14 Clemson Basketball Season Preview –

> An NIT berth, which would require at least a 17-14 record, should be viewed as a major success and step forward for this very young Tiger team. That may be asking too much though. Growth, steady improvement, and closer to 15 wins is what I’m expecting this season as big success may still be a year away.

I am guessing that I will not be watching too many Tigers basketball games this year.

Peter Gammons Recounts Ellsbury’s Time in Boston

> But go back and scroll through the first round draft picks in 2005 after the Pirates took Andrew McCutchen at 11—better yet, between McCutchen and Clay Buchholz in the sandwich round—and the fact remains that McLeod, Epstein and Red Sox made one of their best picks ever to get Jacoby Ellsbury at 23. Eight years and $20.8M later, they have two rings and two parades and if he leaves, the expectation that when he returns, he does so to a long, thunderous standing moment of thanks.

It is going to be sad to see Jacoby go, but his time in Boston was pretty awesome.[^f0833]

[^f0833]: It is amazing how quickly a World Series win can wipe away a few years of injuries and other “collapses.”
