I crossed paths with actor James Ransone (Ziggy Sobotka from the Wire) three times in the space of about 6 months in NYC. The third time, in my best Frank Sobotka voice, I pointed at him and sternly growled at him, “YOU’RE A SOBOTKA!” And we both laughed. A nice little moment (at least for me).

Good grief. Journalism is on life support these days, I get it, but how about proofreading a headline so it doesn’t mean the exact opposite of what is actually happening?

Got caught in a surprise thunderstorm on the trail and was amazed as always by how much a little water can make roots and flat rocks one million times more slippery. Bit it a couple times as I made my way back to the trailhead. #bike #mtb #singletrack

Courthouse elevator talk between cops: Cop 1: Have you been in [judge name] 's courtroom? She's new. Cop 2: Yeah. She's good. I was surprised because she's a Black female so I didn't expect much but she actually knows her stuff. Cop 1: That's good. Guess there's always an exception, huh? 🙃🙃🙃
