Journalist and whatnot. Written a lot of things about a lot of things for a lot of places. Also work in TV. I endure the Mets. The dog’s name is Walter.
cutting this bastard off the copper pipe and fixing our sink is the closest I’ll ever come to feeling like an elite surgeon, given the stakes (exploding all the pipes)
RIP Clive Davis. First time I met him was at a small club and my bosses asked me to interview him, right then and there. A button popped off his suit and we spent a few minutes on the floor looking for it. Made for a relaxed chat. Second time was with Aretha and obviously that was simply amazing.
I also engaged in a days-long war with a big hornets nest. That’s a mesh screen over the hole that I drenched with hot soapy water. Did the trick.
I got really fed up that our house was losing heat in the winter. A couple days work and some mild thoracic outlet issues later, indoor temps were 2 degrees warmer.
I do have great memories of the Giants parade in '08, though. Deafening chants of "18 and 1!"
Mom turned 75, Knicks win in 5, and we gave some of dad’s ashes a proper home. Perfect weekend, really.
If you haven't seen OG Anunoby annoying the hell out of Serge Ibaka while clothes shopping, it's a good time to rectify that: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wiIA...
Found a new park and learned a new fun fact about nature: “Trees are polygamodioecious, meaning they can have just male, female, or perfect flowers (both) one year and then switch their genders the following year.”
highly recommend getting together in a back yard with a bunch of strangers and their instruments and playing some ragtag-ass tunes
Hey Knicks, remember to have fun out there and beat the shit out of these donuts
Thinking about how happy my dad would be about the Knicks today. Here he was in the NY Post cracking a joke about how sorry the team was in the Melo era. Maybe I’ll do a thread later about the time he made a fool of some aggro drunk Wall Street bro at a ‘95 preseason game.
the people of Portugal really do not like fascists so maybe they’ll take care of him for us?
