Just so you understand, this is as if you prepared for argument in front of a panel that included Cookie Monster, and Cookie Monster asked you a question about cookies, and you had not thought about cookies in advance.

End of an Era I retired at the end of last year, but we had a lease on my WeWork office until the end of April.  So I finally cleaned it out. I spent over ten years in a Brooklyn WeWork somewhere (Dumbo and Brooklyn Heights). WeWork served me very well, all jokes about the original founder aside.…

Kevin Drum RIP I think? If you follow the blog closely, Kevin Drum is an old school political blogger. His politics match mine quite well. And he's been bloghing forever, in the old school way where you learn about his family, interests, etc. He's been fighting health issues for a long time.…

His last blog post was titled…

Are we the bad guys? This was really bad... The president of the United States ambushed a loyal ally, presumably so that he can soon make a deal with the dictator of Russia to sell out a European nation fighting for its very existence. It Was an Ambush

My Cheeks Hurt An odd statement, but trying to play trumpet after many, many years means building up long unused muscles. And these are small cheek muscles. Think of how you feel after smiling too long and multiply by ten. So with my new horn I'm practicing a lot because it's fun, but man I'm…

Think of how you feel after smiling too long and multiply by ten. So with my new horn I'm practicing a lot because it's fun, but man I'm feeling it. I'm literally massaging my cheeks. It reminds me of my circus days.

Waymo Way Easy What does a tech guy have to try in San Fran? A Waymo taxi of course. You need the app, but after that it's like Uber or Lyft. The car pulls up. When you get in, you have to actually click a button on the car screen or your app to start the ride. Then the car pulls out and you get a…

Amy Sherald I'm in Oakland visiting my brother in the hospital, but in the morning he gets tested, cleaned, poked and prodded. ("injected, inspected, detected, infected, neglected and selected", if you get the reference). Anyway, I can't really go visit before 2 PM, so with a morning to kill (and…

Anyway, I can't really go visit before 2 PM, so with a morning to kill (and a rainy morning at that) I set off for the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Three Brothers (Part 2) We all looked better in the picture from the earlier post, but at least we are back together again. Me, Jim and Tom Jim seems to be doing well, he's talking and walking. The doctors believe they got all the cancer. There's no specific timeline, he's just healing right now.

Three Brothers This is the name of a Serbian restaurant in Milwaukee. I'm actually amazed it's still open. Getting burek there was a big treat when I was a kid like 50 years ago. Layers of super thin filo dough with beef or cheese But that's not what this post is about. I have two older brothers.…

We are spread across the country and are generally really bad at staying in touch.

Friends You never know when you will need a favor. Having a network of friends/colleagues/etc. who actually like you (or fake it well) comes in handy when you least expect it. When you make that request and the response is "of course!", it just feels great.

Hamilton, Wow Our daughter was back from school for the weekend and has wanted to see Hamilton forever. So I got tickets for a father/daughter outing. I was wondering what the talent level drop would be from the original cast, but it was still excellent. The current Washington, in particular, was…

fish1964.comHamilton, WowOur daughter was back from school for the weekend and has wanted to see Hamilton forever. So I got tickets for a father/daughter outing. I was wondering what the talent level drop would be from the original cast, but it was still excellent. The current Washington, in particular, was tremendous (One Last Time, being my favorite song from the show). A really fun night... Decent seats, too.
