Over the summer, I completed the surprisingly tedious process of unwinding myself from Facebook. Surprisingly tedious because I’ve grown to rely on it as a sprawling, comprehensive address book and birthday calendar. I had to enter that information into my records one. person. at. a. time. before leaving the service.
I went to all this trouble [...]
Several Saturdays ago, I went to the Yankees game with my friend Geoff. On the way uptown, I stopped for some coffee, sunscreen, and water. I was set.
This was my first trip to Yankee Stadium this year, my first game since I moved back. In my years away, my memories of Yankees games grew to [...]
Tired, mostly. Drinking already, a little.
This morning they tagged me with a green bracelet. I wear it until tomorrow afternoon, showers and all. (It’s already been through one with mixed results.) I kinda feel like I’m on parole.

I took Amtrak up there and was super excited about it. It started out well enough: I left my house about forty minutes before my train left and got there with plenty of time to pick up my ticket and [...]
Larry Lessig is right: Obama, like so many Democrats before him, has started to lose this election.
Hey HQ: You’ve got a guy who really stands for something (the tall thin guy, the one from Illinois). A man whose word really does matter. But you’ve so bungled the last month that even your core begins to [...]
