On Sunday we had the good fortune to attend the launch party for “Bonds of Charity,” which tells the remarkable story of the Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland’s 175 years of service.

Here’s Richard Osborne reading excerpts to an SRO crowd. www.loganberrybooks.com/product/bond...

Coffee/shower buzz? Weekend anticipation? Day off? Trying to figure out why I set my alarm for @waitwait.bsky.social Sat 10am weekly, but it’s never the same feeling the rest of the week. (“Similarly “Car Talk” and “WhadYa’ Know?” in days of yore.)

A slight variation from my Hotel Lobby Coffee iPad Series . . . the view from our little porch at the wonderful marquiscapemay.com. Definitely not our last October visit to @capemaynj.bsky.social

Anyone else having trouble generating enthusiasm for Mass attendance this morning?

Best morning lobby coffee in ages. In Boston for Maddie’s second-last move-in. Outrageous Guatemalan (black) from @ghowellcoffee.bsky.social adjacent to our hotel. Happy #LaborDay to me!

Makes way too much sense to have a chance in hell of passing. It’s certainly a more manageable option than an IQ test for voters showing up at the polls sporting MAGA merch. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/26/u...

We consented.

My favorite of the legacy fast food photos published as part of the USA Today feature on National Slurpee Day, which of course is 7-11. (Photo Credit: Staff serving hotdogs at Nathan's in Coney Island, in Brooklyn, New York, circa 1955. George Heyer, Getty Images)

NEXT year maybe, we’ll create a neighborhood version of The Hill.

Thanks to @espn.com, 4th of July Wimbledon on the deck is a next-level experience.

Happy Father’s Day to The GOAT, seen here on our last trip together. Among other things, thanks for filling out the team, knowing it would take three more great dads for me to figure out it only looks easy.

BURYING DEMOCRACY. Sure your local paper reports on the attack on 249 years of democracy. Here in #Cleveland if you’re a reader of The Plain Dealer, you can always find news about the historic rise of an American dictator on page six, well below the fold.

June 4th in #Cleveland, which means Opening Day for Front Porch Morning Coffee Season. (Warm enough now and then a couple of weeks ago, but close to #LakeErie we also celebrate Midge Season in the Spring.)

As I grow increasingly dependent and FREAKIN’ BLOWN AWAY by what I’m getting from AI — these days ChatGPT but it changes by the month — I think of the Karpathy tweet. “Dad patting himself on the back again” my kids will (accurately) say.

Clear view of #Cleveland from Huntington Beach yesterday. Looks like another gorgeous March morning, clear skies, birds chirping. Unfortunately it only feels like March; we’re less than a week from June. Feels Like on my front porch is 48°.
