If Edward Said were alive today, imagine what he would write… Thanks to @fitzcarraldoeds.bsky.social and @ireadvintage.bsky.social for keeping this in print. Wish I had read this decades ago.

4th NYC marathon, and 4th this year because I, um, it’s complicated. Thanks to NYRR for excellent logistics and my fav civil servants, the DSNY for all you do.

4th NYC on deck. No time goal. Let’s all have fun in the best party in the city.

Mission accomplished. Let’s make NYC kinder, together.

Marathon #10 in Montréal today. Perfect temperature, well organized. Wish my flight weren’t early tomorrow.

My parents are sending me NSFW pix from Michigan. I hope this is delicious. I’ll find out soon.

1.1 million applicants for ~30,000 open spots in the ‘26 #LondonMarathon. Didn’t get in again; still grateful for my ‘21 opportunity, despite all the Covid travel legal hoops and hassles.

Brooklyn Half. Last hard race ‘til Montréal!

Finally the State dept warns me. Yeah, no shit the power’s out and has been most of the day.

Thank goodness I had the sense to buy two.

Power out in Madrid. €1.50 cerveza from a bodega. Good times. Who needs world famous museum visits anyway. I will see you one day, Guernica!
April 28, 2025 at 2:31 PM
¡Gracias Madrid! Marathon #9 in the books. Probably harder than NYC. Hills, 2000’ elevation, mid 60°F temps, little shade. Time for cerveza!

Make it stop!!!! I hate all of this! Movement LOL. It seems like it is about a couple hundred people overall with excellent media skills.

My office in the Hellmouth that is Times Square just got a little nicer. First Decade collection from Fitzcarraldo Editions. Still wrapped because of my grimy keyboard hands. #Books
