All Activity

SO bummed that I had a dinner to go to and couldn't watch the game.

Back to NOLA in October for work. I have a visit to Beachbum Berry's Latitude 29 planned (in my head, anyway).

Are you going to the Jewish Heritage Night game on the 7th? N and I will be there. Drop me a line, and maybe we can have a meal or a drink.

Oh wow--I remember when it opened, just a few blocks from me. A bit of a splurge for me at the time, but it was very good.

We scored Cool Beans, Rose Levy Berenbaum's The Bread Bible, and Dorie Greenspan's Baking at a local library's book sale--$105 worth of books for less than $10.

I liked Les Nomades enough last time that I was planning to go back. Closed in October. So any recommendations for a nice dinner would be welcome.

Next Sunday Chicago, then Cleveland. De Kooning's drawings at the former, Manet and Morisot at the latter.

Question answered.

I could pull my pants on and prepare to go wild in the street or I could ready for bed. I guess that's sports.

I'll be in the Bay Area for several days early next month. My brother moved to Oakland in April so I'm heading out to visit. All I know is that we're going to see the Giants play the Jays while I'm in town.

For the second spring in a row the boy's baseball team has clinched the West Side Little League Majors Championship. Team was down 1-0 with two outs when he bunted his way onto first and eventually scored the first run to start a come from behind rally. Boys ended up winning 4-2. It was an exciting game and I'm so proud of these kids.

Convivium Osteria. Kind of a bummer. While they weren’t destination dining they were one of the best take-visiting-guests-to places in the Slope. Always reliable and cozy.

The weather has been warm the last couple of days, so I asked N if we could have a grain salad for summer. She mixed together barley, pickled onions, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, tinned smoked herring, jammy hard-boiled eggs, and a dressing that I don't know the ingredients of. Served over a combination of arugula and butter lettuce. Ice cream for dessert.

The Rhinestone Cowboy, courtesy of Imbibe Magazine: 2 oz. bourbon 3/4 oz. peach liqueur 3/4 oz. lemon juice 6-8 fresh mint leaves Ginger beer (I used Fever Tree) Muddle the mint and lemon juice together in a shaker. Add the bourbon & peach liqueur. Add ice and shake, then double-strain into an ice-filled Collins or highball glass. Top with ginger beer.

At 100. That's a wrap.

Mulholland Drive: The Road to the Studio is an eyeful.

Might as well play six-a-side 🙃

How much of his art have I seen over the years?

At 88. He made a bigger splash.

I have to say that Impala, our first dinner here, was really great. Great menu, lots of heat and varied, interesting spicing and…NOT TOO MUCH SALT. Obviously, that neighborhood is a fucking zoo, especially getting off the tube at Piccadilly. They’ve come a long way from the first outpost of BRAT.

The final standings are sent by fax from FIFA headquarters a couple of weeks ahead of time. Spain is likely able to pay the most.

A record: 3 red cards in the first game of a World Cup.

Any interest in hitting Mt Pleasant for some BBQ? https://spectrumnews1.com/oh/columbus/news/2026/02/24/black-owned-family-business-still-serving-ribs-after-80-years-

After making you sad. And then angry. And then astounded.

It's nice to have that occasional reminder that sports (like other things in life, sure) can make you REALLY REALLY HAPPY.
