Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 20/08/2025This article reads like a Pynchon novel. Every paragraph is a gem.

Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 29/05/2025One of Digital Day’s storylines is he needs max booster bonus bux to keep his beard from going grey. If he doesn’t get enough in time, a magic NCAA inspector comes down from Indy and turns him into Urban Meyer. Same for Holtz but it’s all Chivas Regal based incentives. 000
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Feels like a paper where its style guide contains an allowance for no more than two “yous” per column. 110
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 20/05/2025So thrilled to be in this issue of @barrelhouse.bsky.social again. Never thought Alito would be a source of inspiration but great art comes from low places sometimes! Check it out! 071
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 17/04/2025Have a couple of flash fictions in @mrbullbull.bsky.social. My thanks to them for publishing these two! 000

Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 14/02/2025Now that we’ve elected McTeague to our highest office, I’m here for all the whale news and wondering when the leviathan will swallow us. It can’t come too soon now! 010
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 09/02/2025A good one from Louis Jenkins. www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/53694/...poetryfoundation.orgFootballThis isn't a football, it's a shoe, a man's brown leather oxford. I have eaten pancakes, for instance, with that clear corn syrup on them because there was no maple syrup and they weren't very good. 010
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 03/02/2025Have a new essay on here about Haydn, Joplin and failing at piano lessons when I was seven. Great issue. 021
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 25/12/2024From Cheever’s “Christmas Is a Sad Season for the Poor.” Great story. 150

Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 11/12/2024When we get to the McTeague inspired vigilantes, then we’re in real trouble. 092
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 03/12/2024I’ve not been working out my whole life for this shot at making no shots whatsoever. 030
Patrick Crerand @patrickcrerand.bsky.social · 16/11/2024Watching those old Tyson highlights, I think about how amazing it was when Buster Douglas beat Tyson. I worked with his brother later on at St. Stephen’s Community Center in Linden and sometimes he’d wear the championship ring to work because he helped train Buster. 050
