Last week, Cooper hit me up to tell me his nephew was doing a living concert on YouTube and was expecting only a few family members to join.

200+ of us showed up. It was a blast. Felt like being out at a little bar with your friends.

Well, Gary is doing another show at 7 ET.

1
I am going to be there.

Wanna pull up a virtual seat at the bar and join me?

Should be fun.

Correction: Cooper DMed me about HER nephew.

Sorry about misgendering you, Cooper!
Acoustic Nirvana... I am going to need to open another beer.

This is the most significant window into Trump’s psychology since the election.

He is so gravely wounded by his loss, even the usual protections a narcissist employs aren’t saving him.

1/
The pattern for Trump has always been the exact same without deviation.

When faced with a public humiliation, he 1) broods; 2) scapegoats; 3) adopts a face-saving excuse; and 4) gets back on his feet.

He isn’t reaching #4.

2/
It is remarkable and striking.

He is so debilitated by the public humiliation of having lost, he can’t even function in the dysfunctional way he used to...

Normally, he’d be posturing about how his loss was actually somehow a win for him. He’d be claiming he benefitted.

What is even happening.

My feed has already been like the Hallmark Channel for the last couple days.

And then, I just bumped into someone I knew I recognized. Took me a minute. It was this guy... Steelers sweatshirt.

1/
I said “Hey, I know you...”

He just looked at me in my mask blankly.

“About a year ago, we were at the bar the day you decorated your tree... Your son came later.”

I figured it was one of those moments one person remembers vastly better than the other.

2/
Then he looked at me a little closer to place me. Eyes went wide, big smile under his mask.

“Heyyy... how are you? How is your mom? She’s right over here, right? (points in the direction of her house)”

I have a little story that I have now drafted and deleted multiple times because I can't seem to do it justice.

So, I am going to strip it down to the barest of details and just let it fly unedited.

Bear with me. It will be worth the ride, I hope.

1/
If you follow me, you have probably seen my endless posts about trying to find a PlayStation 5 (PS5).

Originally, I was looking for one for my son. I found one for him two weeks ago.

Since then, I have been looking for one for someone else.

An old friend.

2/
Jen and I have known each other 30 years.

We shared a mutual close friend in our 20s. We weren't close but hung out when we all met up at bars.

I've seen her once in 15 yrs. Bumped into her at Starbucks.

Were it not for Facebook, we would have entirely lost touch long ago.

I separated when my son was little. He was three years old and suddenly I was a single dad with a life to build for him.

That first Christmas, I made big productions of doing Christmasy things together.

The first was the tree lighting in Rockefeller Center.

1/
It was past his bedtime, so I taped it. The next night, we baked cookies and watched it together.

A few nights later, it was more cookies and Rudolph.

Another night, we went to get hot chocolate and look at Christmas lights.

We called them Christmas Fun Nights.

2/
The next year, we watched the lighting of the tree again. And then we did all of those other things too.

They were excuses to just do something together in the Christmas spirit.

Christmas Fun Nights were now a tradition.

I have an informal Christmas tradition.

It started seven years ago. I was not supposed to have my son for Christmas Eve that year but plans changed abruptly and suddenly I did.

Best gift I could get - but there went the time I had planned to spend prepping and wrapping.

1/
So, I spent the Eve with my son until he was fast asleep. And then I pulled an all-nighter wrapping gifts, doing a stocking, etc.

I finished just before 6 am and laid down next to him literally minutes before he opened his eyes with all the excitement of 6-YO on Christmas.

2/
Before I laid down though, the last thing I did was walk out to the street and just soak in the quiet of my house, dark but for the Christmas tree through the window.

I had pulled it off. Maybe my most memorable Christmas ever.

How wild would it be if you did a live performance on YouTube expecting only a few friends and family...

...but then a crowd showed up.

Wanna go to a concert with me?

It’s on now. I’m heading in.

The link:
I love this.

From 7 to 100+ in minutes.
This is just brightening my night...

I miss live music. Sitting in a place listening to someone you don't know, just along for the ride on whatever they play.

I'm cracking a beer. Cheers, y'all in the crowd with me.
