I do not think it’s a good sign when a restaurant seems to supply a single bottle of hot sauce for all their customers.

This week I watched Dirty Rotten Scoundrels (1988) for the first time and, fuck me, do I enjoy Frank Oz's kooky ass filmmaking. What a fun My Fair Lady meets Ocean's Eleven meets Dumb and Dumber ass movie. And the twist (which I have to spoil here)? Chef's kiss. Come on. Hell yeah.

You know, I covered an NFL team for 20 years. There are some good things about football. Most of them are present in any team sport. You don’t have to be any mentally tougher or more athletic to play football than basketball, hockey, soccer. I’m not sure concussions really “prepare us for war.”

I'm uncomfortable with self-promotion, but I'm sure some folks have missed it, so here goes: Are you interested in a history of migrants workers battling climate disasters and navigating energy transitions? Or perhaps in a gripping story of turn-of-the-20th-century America? Get my book!

Cinema peeps: I am trying to find the name to a film I remember watching on DVD: an anti-war film set in the Pacific but clearly about Vietnam (so 60s or 70s) and I remember a scene of a Marine sobbing as he, pinned down, thinks about the innocence he's lost

Text convo with my dad this weekend: Me: God, I admire how much you and Mom hustled to keep food in the house. Two teenagers are eating me out of house and home. But I know playing hockey i ate more than they do. My dad: Yeah, and the worst of it was you just weren't very good

Leo Tolstoy, 1869: My book cannot be considered a novel, because it includes a long discussion of Napoleon’s defeat. Victor Hugo, 1862: I have sandwiched an 18-chapter digression on Napoleon’s defeat into the 2nd most melodramatic and sentimental novel of the 19th century, nbd.
