All I can say about this is I am a lineman for the county and I drive the main roads searching in the sun for another overload. I hear you singin' in the wires. I can hear you through the whine and the Wichita lineman is still on the line. I know I need a small vacation, but it don't look like rain.

Harper always seems to mash in the last inning or two, when the game is already decided one way or the other. Sometimes though it’s extremely clutch.

I remain a huge Aaron Nola fan. Dude’s been a horse for a lot of years and will be on the wall of fame one day.

Don’t mind the noise, the Braves fans are just excited to be in an environment where they can be openly racist without consequence

I can’t fully explain how much it means to my neighborhood to have the Philadelphia Cycling Classic back, nor what a wonderful pain it is to live inside the closed course.

In honor of this weekend’s bike race here in Manayunk. To the tune of “The KKK Took My Baby Away” by The Ramones: “The PPA towed my Honda away / They towed it away / As a courtesy-ey”

One of my neighbors told me yesterday that she has orange juice ice cubes in her freezer that she will add to her champagne if the news she’s waiting for arrives early in the day.

I’m a big Bryson Stott fan. There’s no drama with Stott. I don’t need to learn about his cleats or his bread recipe or his blood. He just goes out there and rocks it.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.
