My son walking my mom’s dog in front of three West Roxbury homes that my father built in 1986

Got a ton of mileage out of this book in my NYC days (‘99 to ‘03)

There must be worse ways to go through life than living on Beacon Hill, having The Sevens as your local etc.

Patagonia vest season est arrivé

Banner evening for a stroll across the River Charles

With school resuming tomorrow after February break, I offer my sons a shot of whatever they please - they choose Polar seltzer, blueberry mango.

A city without proper alleys can only be taken so seriously

I love the smell of Chelsea in the morning

Old John Hancock blinking red. Brookline Schools have closed for today. Rooting for an old fashioned ass kicker of a snow storm.

Vacationing in the Azores, biting into linguica, I know that I would think “this is great, it reminds me of Boston, of the Cape.” Know Thyself. Linguica & Egg Sandwich Mike’s City Diner South End

The Natick Mall reminds me of the Seaport section of Southie

Old John Hancock blinking red, time to stockpile essentials

Heineken? Fuck that shit! Pabst Blue Ribbon!

I packed a new brand of protein bar in my son's lunch this morning. Instead of just throwing it out or just not eating it, he added a note and put it back in his bag for me to see.

If as GM of Massachusetts I could trade Dunks to Texas for Buc-ees, I would do so without hesitation.

Reflecting upon the weather in Boston this morning, my 10 year old son observes “cities without snow are fucking bullshit.”

My favorite book review is Eve Babitz’s take down of Nathanael West's Day of the Locust.

My son likes Puttshack in Southie (Seaport), but prefers McGolf in Dedham.

“The greatest wisdom consists in enjoying the present and making this enjoyment the goal of life, because the present is all that is real and everything else merely imaginary.” -Schopenhauer

Pregaming in my Brooklyn (Park Slope) apartment before partying like it was 1999

Being on the Cape is like Las Vegas to me in that after 3 to 7 days, itch scratched, I’m ready to return to Boston.

On New Year’s Eve Day in 2022, my son accidentally kicked his soccer ball into the Connecticut River. I tracked its movement from the shore, watched it go over a waterfall, and against the odds managed to fish it out shortly thereafter. Two weeks later it got ran over by a car and exploded.

As much ass as the Rail Trail on the Cape kicks, I wish that I could take the train to Truro from Boston

Linguica is the Ted Williams of breakfast meats

The ‘New York Streets’ micro-neighborhood in Boston’s South End today is multiple orders of magnitudes better than it was when it was surface parking lots and old industrial 15 years ago. It makes me excited for the Albany Street Renaissance already in progress.
