Hippocampus Halloween
Every year I pair up with one of The Fellas for Halloween. Last year I sewed some extra arms on a shirt, painted a black samurai helmet and kabuki mask to be Lord Garmadon from Ninjago. This year, following Ford’s obsession with the Percy Jackson book series and all things “son of Poseidon”, his request […]

Kavanaugh
This is a Supreme Court shit show that is as much about the alarmist culture of our era, #me too still finding its feet, and the divisiveness fomented by the current administration. Here’s my breakdown: I like a balanced court and don’t like how the randomness of mortality can impact decades of Constitutional interpretation. I […]

NYC 20
It’s only August and I’m on my 20th flight to NYC. The transition to “New York speed” now happens between the gate and the Uber. I’m recognized at the front desk of my super-dope LES hotel. I’ve made the required reparations for my locals who were a little bent when they found out I’d been […]

Chris Wynne
A great friend of mine passed on July 9th, 2012 and I am remembering him today. We at a lot of steaks and unleashed some stories that shall never be in print. I’m sure you are drinking with St. Peter.

It started off a little rough — flight into Chicago delayed, connection to Milwaukee missed, luggage missing for two hours until about 1a, […]

Our Father’s Day tradition is renting a boat for the day. The lake is about two hours away and about halfway there I got a call from the captain I rent the boat from…”winds are pretty high, I’m only sending out my strongest captains today…you might not want to go out today”. Of course I […]

Vroom
I just sat at my desk for 24 hours watching a mixed set of race cars tearing it up. I was only loosely familiar with Le Mans — I knew phrases like “24 hour race” and “streets of France” — but not much more. My interest was piqued, my schedule was pretty open, so about […]

Get Dressed Up
I walked by a bar today that I had only been to once before, at 4 in the morning. For a wonderful run of four years I ran a magnificent event with my great friend Utkarsh Patel called “Get Dressed Up to Get Messed Up”. It was prom for adults (we told ourselves). It was […]
