I met my wife on a transatlantic private jet. It was 1974, inflation was high, fuel prices for the jet nearly bankrupted me, but I Was determined to see Japan. I parked the Rolls on the runway right outside of Houston and looked back on my oil empire. Things for most people weren’t good; for me, they were great. It…

I’d cut off a limb for my son Tiafoe to emerge as the best American player over these extremely boring and/or MAGA chuds (dunno if Querrey is MAGA but he is certainly boring).

We have an ongoing argument about the differences in height of the men’s and women’s steeplechase barriers. It’s not dumb. We love the sport. I just don’t think the women need to use a lower bar.

He talked at length about the differences in the lines each athlete was taking down the hill, or the techniques that could be adopted to counter the growing wind speed. He also had insight into almost every athlete’s backgrounds and past performances. You’ve chosen to ignore all…

He was, I think, generally a decent person.

Is this really any worse than borrowing your friends skis and entering the Women’s Super-G just for fun?

Definitely my favourite James Taylor album.

Thanks hombre, things have been pretty fucked up. The starter on my Festiva finally burned out. The thing is that most Festivas are beyond junked, so I can’t find a replacement starter at a scrapyard. Now, every time I need to drive, I have to park on a hill so I ..
