Well. There’s this. Me in the New Yorker. Easily the most terrifying thing I’ve ever done. But I wanted to highlight local policing done with a great group of colleagues. But yeah, this is terrifying. newyorker.com/magazine/2018/…

The Justices of the Court of Appeals for the Skinnerville Circuit helped me study for a brutal midterm exam on hearsay this evening. I’m sure it’s fine

Monday breakfast with most of the boys of The Eastside Orangeys. Lots of rubs and love. Early morning, others are sleeping in. There’s enough for them later. We Are The Eastside Orangeys!

I’ve so few friends. The remaining visited the grave of one of our friends who died ten years ago last week overseas. That guy was a superhero. And his death gutted so many. You can waste your life or you can do as much good as you can for as long as you can. That’s the choice

If you support this person, you’re supporting this. And ‘this’ is straight up racism and bigotry. Stop being scared, and start being better.

This is straight up unrepentant racism. And if you still support all this, you are most certainly not the decent person you most certainly think you are.

Ginormous contender ship sliding past a large riverside party. Note the War of 1812 fort to the right. The scale is ludicrous.

Saturday breakfast with four of The Eastside Orangeys plus Scary Blacky. A bit early so some of the gangsters were sleeping in after a long week of being awesome Orangeys. We love them

I love the attention to detail with their incompetence, cuz it’s discreet not discrete, doofus.

To those who seek to create positive change in Cuba - now is the time. The disappointment of failed promises, corruption, and the privileged lives of only a few; seize this opportunity to create the change you desire through a discrete partnership with the CIA.

New @fuchsiadunlop cookbook “Five Tastes” was waiting for me when I got home. Always love digging into her cookbooks for new flavors and ideas. Already see some dishes I’m trying out this weekend if I’m not at work.
