Yes, but is the tie made of silk or .... lenin?

Go Kellyn! His father is a friend of mine (God, I’m old), and I’ve loved watching his career progress. He’s a great kid from a great family and, I hope, will continue to grow into a cornerstone of the USMNT.

I saw Trainspotting in 1996 alone in a small theater near Swiss Cottage station while living in London for a year exchange of law school. I was a 25 year old American Ivy Leaguer, and that time in the U.K. was my first time when I did not feel forced to be the perfect, preppy son. I was liberated, and it was…

Agree completely! It’s a wonderful old ship and a great place to spend a day or a night.

The last time I tried to take an important work call at home, my wife - 6 days post childbirth - had a massive uterine blood clot rupture and nearly died.

The incredible accuracy of this point is likely to be missed by many, but I just wanted to give you the credit it deserves.

I am continually stunned at the administration’s willingness to make absolute statements on every issue. They just keep setting themselves up to be outed over and over and over again.

They are damn near ubiquitous in Southern California, where planned (often gated) communities abound. If you buy in such an area, it’s mandatory.

It’s worth noting that the reason Reagan didn’t attend three decades ago was because he’d just been SHOT in an assassination attempt a few weeks before. Even so, he still called in to make a few jokes over the phone.

You don’t have to Seles on that tale.

Someone needs to remind him of that incredibly important maxim:

You’ve not lived until you’ve read the NYT review of his restaurant. It makes the heart sing and the stomach churn:

I don’t know: obsessed with his hair, has an overblown sense of his own value, voices suspect ideas about women, and destroyed the world with his own greed. Sounds pretty accurate once you remove Maui’s actual good nature and innate decency. Now, let’s just hope the same character turnaround occurs.

It’s so Rufus!

“...Demigod of the wind and sea, hero of men and women...”

Don’t you mean “Catstantinople”?
