Yep. Came here to say the same thing. You can deduct 100% of your charitable donations, up to 50% of your income. Why the cap? So that very wealthy people can’t cut their tax burden to zero by, say, donating their entire income to their own charitable foundations that, say, employ their children.

I like how you think. I’d rule that gamesmanship “brilliant,” and would imagine there would be at least 2 dad-fights. The fights would be all the more fun too, since, it being a weeknight game in suburban NJ, 97% of the dads were in their suits and just done with a long day of lawyering or doctoring or Wall Streeting,…

We pulled an intentional strikeout to get around the darkness rules in little league. The rule was, if the game got called on account of darkness, then you reverted to the last complete inning to determine the winner. So, in the bottom of the 5th, we had taken a five run lead, coming back from 1 run down. If the game…

• Do you write out a timeline beforehand? You bet. Smoking a turkey, frying a turkey, managing oven and stovetop space, plus cleaning the house and setting the table - couldn’t do it without a timeline. More power to you if you can manage without, and not welcome guests with your hair on fire.

I agree - if you must have cupcakes, and you must have them in Georgetown, then Baked & Wired is the place to be. Go Sunday morning.

Ugh - Georgetown Cupcake. Credit where credit is due for building a brand, but the cupcakes are not very good, and certainly not worth going out of your way and standing in line for a dry cupcake with meh icing. Concur that Red Velvet is better, and you can walk to the Mall from there.

A+. Seconded all around.

Hey Drew. I see you have been posting your weight loss stats to The Twitter. Nice work. Any thought of getting some reinforcement from the wifey? Like - “get to 199 lbs, and we can do butt stuff.” Or, perhaps, “No more butt stuff until you get to 199 lbs.” I mean, whichever may apply.

My goodness. I am not always happy to have gone to law school. But the other option was journalism, and I would so much rather deal with a lifetime of crippling student loan debt than have to deal with the drooling commentariat every day. These people can fling themselves off the nearest tall building.

What is your favorite cold sandwich?

Consider yourself fought - sushi rolls are not a sandwich. Rolling ingredients together into finger-food or bite-size portions does not magic them into sandwiches. If I made a roll out of of french-fries around chicken nuggets, I would have something amazing, but it would not be a sandwich.

Burritos (and, by extension, tacos, enchiladas, chimichangas, and anything else that comes in unleavened bread products) are not sandwiches. They are wraps, or - if pita is involved - pockets. Sandwiches require bread with air pockets. It doesn’t mean that any of these things are anything other than delicious, but…

Not sure this would actually fit with D&D, but whatever works for you

Deserves more stars

I noticed that too. I was wondering if it was just me. It was weird and eerie.

Mandy Patinkin, in full Inigo Montaoya, is the only acceptable casting for Cisco.

Rowers are delightful, loveable lunkheads. They’re the guys just rich enough to go to prep school, but not rich enough to have had a horse or a sailboat. They’re too gawky to play other sports, so they just learn to do this one thing over and over and over again.

Maybe he was dictating it?

I believe that, if they had eyes in the backs of their heads, then they would wear helmets and hats that accommodate said eyes.

Another good one: “pull your own weight.”
