The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy was an absolute masterpiece.

And I’ll never forgive him for screwing up this scene. It could’ve been one of the iconic moments in films full of them.

Instead we’ve got Gandalf defeated, his staff shattered, and Shadowfax meekly trotting away. Shameful.

No public lands means no small businesses.

Last week when Trump said there would be tariffs, lots of people went out and bought cars, computers, etc.

As for me and my house, we now have a strategic, two-year supply of Maldon Sea Salt.

My year in Apple Music:

— I will always unapologetically love U2.

— Charly Bliss had one of the best albums this year.

— There were some truly beautiful moments in my life this year, and “Little Life” captured them perfectly.

Back in December 2017, Katie and I went to England. My first Fulham match in-person was the 2-2 draw away at Hull.
