He should be legally declared livestock.

We went to ‘Star Wars Night’ last month when it was hosted by the Brooklyn Cyclones (the Mets’ minor league team). Sure it was gimmicky but my son had a blast, which is exactly the point. So mission accomplished!

Ten years ago for my 40th birthday, the love of my life and I went to Greece for 3 weeks (and then a week in London). We started first in Athens and then hopped from Crete to Santorini to Naxos and then back to Athens.

It’s worth noting that Laplace wasn’t the only person to come up with the idea. The man who (rightly) gets credit today for coming up with Dark Stars is a relatively unknown genius named John Michell, who we have covered on this site.

This is off-topic, but I am pissed that BBC canceled “Intruders” after only one season:

I remember going down to DC with my mother years ago for the 1st “Million Moms March”. It was so long ago that I forgot the exact year (and I’m in a rush so I can’t google the year right now). But my point is that it got so much media attention all those years ago and yet we still can’t manage gun ownership in a…

Switch it up to 80s New Wave (hello WLIR and WDRE!) and that’s heaven for me. But then again, that’s what I got Pandora for anyway.
