That was even better than the Queen references.

I was always more of a 3- and 4- series guy. Renting one in Hawaii, however, turned out to be a great solution. The speed limits are ridiculously low there, so anything more than this is generally superfluous (at least in Honolulu). The thing still has enough kick, though, and with the form factor of the 1 series, it …

Awesome! I had to grow up last month and trade in my ‘06 Z4 for a 2017 Outback 3.6 (my 14-year-old son, and his drums, etc.) - but I love the thing. Rented one on Turo for about a week and I realized that I think AWD makes this class of car drive almost like... well, a car! Can’t wait to try some donuts of my own.

Fine. Just please no more Marie Kondo references.  Thank you.

Ugh, the “negotiating”...

Did they count all the people that just lost interest after 30 minutes and wanted to look for something that was actually compelling?  ‘cause, damn... 

But if we added Puerto Rico, we could borrow a page from the DC Comics playbook and revamp the marketing as “USA: New 52"

Doesn’t anybody in the WH have a Grubhub account?

Yeah, she’s wrong. About pretty much everything.  

And Container Store! It’s one of their biggest days of the year, according to them. And I’ve been there - it’s hella busy!

Ah... then fuhgeddaboutit... Thanks for the heads up.

As a parent in NYC, I found that part of the problem is ya just gotta keep having your own life. You must keep going out (after the initial few months, of course), and keep doing your job, and pursuing your own creative and leisure pursuits, travel, the whole nine. It’s just a tad more difficult, is all. And yes,…

I was going to mention that one of my friends has 8 kids. And in fact, he’s the only one who works. And he’s a freelance musician! She has stayed at home and homeschooled most of the kids. What they told me? “It gets easier the more kids you have” I was skeptical, of course, but I saw it with mine own eyes: older kids…

Whew... I commend your work. Be careful, though. I was actually in Scientology about 40 years ago, a hapless teen sucked in by the fact that some of my musical heroes at the time were in it. I lasted two weeks, and it was scary even back then. There was harassment and intimidation of a fairly virulent type. I shudder…
