Man, @joeposnanski.com really got my hopes up for Mattingly.

If you have the opportunity to elect Dale Murphy and Don Mattingly into your baseball club, you should take it. #hof

This is not a challenge for people who grew up at the advent of HBO.

If only he hadn’t loved genocide so much.

One blackout is one too many.

Looking forward to exploring Sam’s backstory as an elite assassin who turns to music to try to wash the blood from his hands. #casablancafranchise

Welcome to Derry, Wicked, the Casablanca franchise, baby it all fanfic now.

It’s pretty bad. There’s a lot of stupid you have to ignore. From what I see here, people had an easier time ignoring it than I did.

Hey, remember when Edwin Diaz sucked his first year in NY, was historic the next year, broke his leg and missed a year, sucked again the next year, got suspended for sticky stuff and you very same people wanted him gone? Anyway, relievers are volatile. Welcome to the team, Devin. #mets

A comic book page featuring a group of teenage boys.

Same group of boys playing stickball against a brick wall.

It’s been a tough year for my little family. One of the highlights was writing and drawing a ten page comic. It’s a proof-of-concept for a bigger project (now that I know I can do it 😉). There’s a couple of pages below.

My plan was to get rid of a bookcase worth of books for this move. My behavior today shows I’m going to fill that case right up.

I realized this week that the author I will have read most before I die is Chris Claremont. His lead is insurmountable. #X-men

The most 80s thing about Stranger Things is 20 somethings playing high schoolers. #strangerthings

Trying to be a mature adult and wait for my kid to get home to watch Stranger Things. #strangerthings

Between Byrne’s run on X-Men and Alpha Flight, I’m surprised I didn’t move to Canada. #x-men

I grew up south of Billy Joel. #x-men

I grew up on Long Island. There’s lots of places on Long Island that could substitute for the fictional Salem Center. Sea Cliff, Huntington, Glen Cove, all places that seem opulent and strange to my part of the island. #x-men

While packing I found a collection of X-men comics that starts with Jean Grey’s funeral and end with Days of Futures Past. These are the single issues I grew up reading. I have thoughts while rereading. #xmen

BOOKCASE, GODDAMMIT.

My goal is to donate a bookshelf worth of books. #moving

Moving makes me hate my stuff.

If you gave me a million guesses, The Naked Gun would not be one of them.

The answer is no. Drew and his pals are having too much fun to be the playlist for angry exercise.

About to find out if @drewmcweeny.com’s Hip Pocket podcast is something to angrily lift weights to. Will keep you posted.

A box full of DC Compact Comics.

DC Compact Comics are some of the smartest decisions a comics publisher has made in recent memory.
Not all editions are winners but they are all worth $10 a shot.

I HATE PACKING SO FUCKING MUCH.

Does anyone ever put $5 in these chairs?

MSNBC or CNN?

You could have spoken to my 5th grade class. Their attitude alone could be the subject of a horror movie.

Why, yes, I will be putting this whipped cream in my coffee. Thank you very much.
