Long overdue, but I am finally watching Breaking Bad. I think the real message of this show is that later in life, a side project can be very energizing.

The Mets offense was constipated for a while, but lately they've had the runs.

Just make sure you know the words to "My Girl"

Please complete this semester soon so I may bicycle in peace through the empty campus.

No, long since gone!

I hate pickles. Especially wet ones that leak onto my chips or fries, making them inedible. Sometimes I forget to say NO PICKLES. One time a chef created a butterfly with a sloppy wet pickle for the body and bread for wings. Anyway, I've been messing around with watercolors. This is my Guernica.

If you find a tiny Troy in your hair, put it in a jar of rubbing alcohol and bring it to your doctor.

Wicked is a really good movie that will get 10+ Oscar nominations. It's about a college in a magical land where all the students are 34 years old.

Came back from grandmother's house. Through the woods and over the river.

Merry Christmas Kenny Loggins

The waiting is over, Merry Christmas everyone

Only one way to find out.

Just a little off the top

This one's for the working man.

48 unhinged minutes with “America’s First Family of Song.” “Mod” dance numbers; a comedy skit about two children who are cousins in a love triangle; a pedal steel guitar interlude; a surprise visit from Vietnam; a glowering woman born in the 19th century; this really has it all

The most conventional of the reindeer cards... you could have sent this to your sweet granny.

Sorry about this one.

Huge gritty win on the road. Big showing by Karaban, McNeely, and Hass. Had to overcome some brutal officiating, but some huge shotmaking down the stretch and taking care of the business at the foul line sealed the victory. A well earned holiday break -- six game winning streak.

Another reindeer card from way back

More of the old reindeer shenanigans.

Viking Cruises sound iffy considering how they conducted funerals.

Another of my old reindeer Christmas cards from the personal wayback machine.

Way back in 1990 I did some Christmas cards for a small greeting card company. Sharing them over the next few days. Enjoy (I think...)

UConn’s Garden return sparks cathartic atmosphere in non-conference finale Madison Square Garden attracted near-capacity crowd as partisan UConn fans made pilgrimage to Manhattan to watch Huskies defeat Gonzaga. (Ph...

And finally, here’s @samfederman.bsky.social on the catharsis of MSG’s warm embrace for UConn fans:

"What if it's not good enough?"

Then you'll make it good enough.

"What if I'm not good enough?"

Then you'll get good enough.

"How will I get good enough?"

You start by making something. Then you make it good enough. When it's good enough, so are you.

Just. Keep. Writing.

Might do some light wassailing this weekend.

Downhill, screaming, bruising my knees and elbows. That's how I roll.
