Friday! I will be doing a LIVE walk through the park. I will be muttering to myself about publishing. Anyone can join—it‘s a public park.

TV show No Problemas is shooting in my neighborhood and there is NO parking. No Problemas? No, gran problema.

Hey, wish me well, folks—I have a big meeting today. Hoping this Zoom is with real people and this is not an elaborate scam that will wipe me out.

Okay, that should do it. What a coincidence that Tennessee is now run by two former New York head coaches that brought NYC so much pain to us.

Every house Columbo visits has a wet bar with every scene opening with someone making a drink. You don’t see them much anymore but if your friend DOES have a wet bar, I’m just saying, watch your back.

It’s the match of the year…and almost midnight. This is how you get kids into the sport of tennis? My prediction? The match won’t end until 3 am, the earliest.

To anyone I told to go take a flying leap, let me know if you are not a scam and a real colleague I told off.

I just told Ken Burns he can go F himself. I’ve been in touch with Ken before and if he wanted to make a movie out of my history of the snowman book with him he would have picked up the phone and would have called me, right? I’m going to assume I just told off a scammer.

I’ve made a decision. Olives, like sun-dried tomatoes, have such a strong flavor, that they dominate the pizza. As of today I will stop adding olives…or sun-dried tomatoes, on my pizzas.

Encore? An Everything pizza with 48 ingredients. If you HAVE a life, this recipe is not for you. Preparation one hour; mozzarella, garlic, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, oregano, basil, olive oil, green & black olives, red peppers, eggplant, sauce, sausage, and 37 types of cheese.

UPDATE: At 5:34 am the security camera picked up the chipmunk in question breaking in the art studio. The grainy footage does not indicate any possible point of entry. Upset, I made this pizza: goat cheese, fresh mozzarella, figs, pecans, arugula, and pear balsamic vinegar.

My cartoon doesn't really work--no matter what I come up with, what's really happening is more fantastical. Thanks to @weeklyhumorist.bsky.social for letting me try.

Looking forward to the Mixed Doubles Finals now. Did you guys see McEnroe play doubles with Roger Federer against Agassi & Roddick? Had a chance to talk a minute with McEnroe at his club on Randall’s just now and thank him for last night’s match. He actually laughed saying he had a really good time.

Bob Eckstein @bobeckstein.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Just wasted the whole day when I learned a small procedure to address my double-vision was cancelled. I was given no apology. Just a new date they expect me to show up. Well, four can play that game.

Today I went to the Dollar General to buy large envelopes. Everything was scattered everywhere—it looked like my nephew’s bedroom.

Last night’s dream was one for the ages; Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady comes over to the Ecksteins for Thanksgiving. Still, even then, could not get the bored nephews interested to stick around for touch football. Unbelievable.

Someone asked for a signed copy of my Footnotes from the World's Greatest Bookstores book so I sent them to Alabama Booksmith. The owner shared they they have sold out ALL 600 copies--THANK YOU, AB. They DO still have signed copies of The Ultimate Cartoon Book of Book Cartoons. tinyurl.com/yc2akc4h

We have lost power. The security camera and system are down. Until electricity is restored, our nemesis can waltz right back in the Art Studio to the bird feeders and there’s not a d$&! thing we can do. Actually, the super soaker is working. And I got the bell. That scares him away.

BREAKING: We have brought someone in for questioning. We have her on video stealing birdseed in the art studio. Apologies to the squirrel. I put space foam in a sliver of a space found in a back cabinet. Last night no visitors. We are letting the suspect free with a bag of nuts and seeds.

I chased a squirrel around with a super-soaker water-gun who was on our bird feeder, went to a classic car show, and then I fell asleep. What did YOU accomplish today?
