My son and I do a thing where we scout “Best of…” food lists for new places, pick one, and make an outing of it. Barbecue, Latino food, ice cream shops, breakfast places.

Nothing fancy. Just good places that are new to us that we can make an outing of…

1/
These outings feel like little trips. Mini-adventures.

This morning, we did a breakfast run. Half-hour drive. Half-hour wait.

Sweet. Fancy. Moses.

Worth it. Delicious.

2/
Glazed pork belly bites on a stick.

Nacho omelette cups.

Pork roll, egg, and cheese egg rolls with cranberry ketchup.

Basically, three small dishes we shared.

So fun, these little roadies.

//
p.s. if you are in NJ and up for a drive, today’s destination was @UrbanGriddle

We had heard good things. They were right. This place is fantastic. Those pork belly bites… I will dream about them.

Sitting with my son at an empty restaurant counter, the two of us drifting in and out of conversation as we tend to do.

An older woman walks up to me and says “Excuse me. Is this your son? I just wanted to say, you seem very comfortable with each other. It’s nice to see.”

1/
Let me tell you, that is among the nicest things anyone has ever said to me.

It is one thing to feel like you have a close, comfortable relationship with your child. It is another to have someone else tell you they can tell.

It was so out of the blue. And it made my day.

2/
And this wasn’t today. It was months ago.

I still think of it often.

I think it was that she saw us in the most regular of moments. We were there eating a casual bite, drifting in and out of being present, talking and then not, quiet and then talking some more.

People who act like this are shitheads.

I can't even begin to tell you how many times some self-absorbed asshole has gone off on me like this while having no idea that my problems absolutely dwarfed their little drama they mistook for a crisis.

I hate people who do this. Image
For real, no joke, when my entire life was burning down, some person would just go off and then be like “I’m sorry. I’m just dealing with a lot right now.”

and it was never close to “a lot”.

It was always only *one* of the checkboxes on my list.
Always wanted to say:

“Ya ain’t the first to get divorced. Ya ain’t the first to have someone die. Ya ain’t the first to have crushing debt or lose your house or job. Ya ain’t even the first to have all of them at once. Your shit ain’t new, different or bigger.”

I have learned a lot about people and social dynamics from my experiences on Twitter.

One of the little insights: There are people on here who think reading someone’s tweets is like knowing them really well in real-life.

1/
That population on here tends to dramatically over-read and over-value minor things - both good and bad - as if they are hugely telling about a person…

and those people often change their whole opinion about someone based on those incidental little things.

2/
The irony is that the people in that group seem to think of themselves as really discriminating judges of character - as if they are far better at judging others than most - when, in fact, they tend to be much worse.

They have huge confirmation bias issues.

Look at my beautiful dog enjoying a ride in the country.

There’s only one small problem…
That isn’t my dog.

Out in the middle of a preserve. See this sweet pup walking alone through the snow. No one around.

So, I pull over to check for a collar. Sweet pup sidles over for a scratch. Image
So, I’m like “Let me look for something I can use as a leash.”

Open the car door, pup jumps right in and lays down.

Okay, that works too, I guess.

Now I need to find the owners.

A year ago, I posted this message out of the loneliness of another COVID Friday night.

In a pretty wild turn of events, the lead singer of the Spin Doctors, @thechrisbarron, replied and then jumped on Instagram Live to play guitar sitting on his bed at home.

1/
That feels more like a lifetime ago than just one year.

Chris ended up becoming a good friend. We played golf most summer weeks last year.

He’s a good man, that Chris.

2/
Anyway, Chris is playing a double-anniversary lowkey hangout on Instagram Live tonight.

1) It’s the one-year anniversary of our online hangouts

2) It’s his birthday in a few days

If you want to join, pop by Chris’ Instagram page between 9-10 pm ET.

Even now, six years into Trumpism, people continue to push back on the message that they should stop amplifying a propagandist’s messages.

Sharing propaganda makes you an accomplice not the opposition.

1/
Propaganda is a fire not a virus. You kill it by smothering it not by giving it oxygen.

It is quite possible for the media to talk about Trump and for the public to stay informed without sharing every dumb thing he says or releases.

2/
Further, there is really no excuse at this point for not understanding that Trump says insane, incendiary things for attention.

If you are giving it to him, the fool is you.

For real, we are in this mess because Trump commanded full attention to his every stupid move.
