Said it before, will say it again: my wife makes the eggplant parm on the planet.
Middle of July in the UP. 100 degrees last week. Hoodie weather today.
The Upper Peninsula is filled with Canadien wildfire smoke today, so we took the boys to see the new Minion movie.
Got enough bass for a fish fry tonight. First pike of the summer here.
The oldest caught his first fish (and his second). Mom caught the biggest, and Dad caught two too.
Mom and Dad went to a concert last night, but the boys still got to see fireworks with Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Kim and Uncle Chris and their cousins.
Kickass show last night from Jimmie Dale Gilmore and Dave Alvin at @FitzGeraldsClub.
Seeing @jimmiedalegilmore & @davealvinoriginal today. They gotta do “Fourth of July,” no?
There’s a lot of good Italian beefs in Chicagoland. Fratello’s way out in Volo is my favorite.
First leg of the summer roadtrip/vacation from South Carolina to southern Illinois to Chicagoland and then the Upper Peninsula. Got an early morning run in here in southern Illinois.
I was thinking about Ed Ruscha and Terry Allen and Sam Shepard and Annie Baker and Preston Jones and a tiny place I know on the side of the road when I wrote this one. Give it a ride: a.co/d/020SnJ2L
Took the van in for service before the summer road trip. New plugs, new ignition coil, new intake and valve cover gaskets…anyway, if y’all bought like a thousand copies of my book, that should cover it 💀💀💀: a.co/d/01gFwg0U
Born on this day in 1935 in Bacon County, Georgia: the great Harry Crews. I’ve reread the Geltner bio recently, along with Crews’ ALL WE NEED OF HELL and SCAR LOVER and CAR. Read THE KNOCKOUT ARTIST and his play BLOOD ISSUE both for the first time. All highly recommended…
