So long, New York. And good job, marathon weekend.

You were Dino-mite

(Sorry. Sorry about that.)

If you’ve heard it once, you’ve heard it a million times: If you want to reinforce your faith in humanity, go watch a marathon. #runningwillsaveus

This is Eliud Kipchoge, the greatest marathoner of all time at mile 25 of the NYC Marathon. What a privilege to get to see him run in person. Chills. #nycmarathon

Book 63: A Confederacy of Dunces, by John Kennedy Toole

Even better the second time. It’s like a zany Seinfeld episode set in New Orleans with an even even kookier, more self-important, less self-aware Kramer pulling the strings.

Until next time, New Orleans. The good times rolled.

In one of the greatest reading coincidences of all time, I’m reading two books both which include a character wearing a Mickey Mouse watch.

Retired from marathoning…but keeping options open. 😎

I know there are exceptions to most prescriptive writing rules but isn’t Dan Brown far enough along in his career to do better than this opening: “Robert Langdon awoke peacefully…” 😂

Book 62: Vanishing Daughters, by Cynthia Pelayo

A creepy mix of the Sleepy Beauty fairy tale, the Resurrection Mary urban legend, and a serial killer crime thriller. A perfect October read!

Book 61: Infinite Jest, by David Foster Wallace

Now when people ask if I’ve read Infinite Jest, I’m going to summon a level of mansplaining condescension usually reserved for Brooklyn MFA workshops, and go, “Well, actually, twice.” 😅

Joey Ortiz is definitely the child of the dude who played the Yankees third baseman in Major League

Actually this isn’t too bad. Looks much better now than last week when it saying 78 and storms.

This week is Banned Books Week. One easy thing to do to help fight back is donate to Unite Against Book Bans.

The Reds last made the playoffs in a full season in 2013, the year before we adopted Baxter. The Curse of the Baxter Wiener is over!! 😂🐶
