At least y'all have access to BB on the east coast

Not that long after he recorded β€œRock Island Line” with Fishbone, right? That was a time. Need to watch that doc, thanks for the heads up

I get folks’ disappointment. But because it’s not my favorite era, and I’m not a big Dylan boot collector, this will be a nice addition and goes into plenty of detail for my taste. I’ll be happy to have it in a nice edition. Holy cow, Sony made this just for me! πŸ˜‚

Watching the Diane years now is a great lesson in how writing is different in the era of binge. You couldn’t have that on-off-will they-won’t they energy if you’re writing for binge. It worked incredibly when there was a forced week off between eps

I hadn’t really watched since it was on originally (and then not much post-Diane). Listening to Ted Danson’s pod and hearing all the comedy writer guests expound on Cheers’ influence sent me back to rewatch. It’s been a blast

30 years ago I hiked to the top of Virginia’s highest waterfall and was astounded to find crawfish!

I mean, I know that mostly reflects my ignorance. But still!

I really don’t care, NYT, what some people thing is causing this. It’s your job as journalists to tell the public who IS causing it. Polling, surveys, diner interviews here are just abandoning your responsibility

Perfectly acceptable to root against both. As if the Yankees were playing the Astros

I think the latitude of the PNW is harder for me than weather. Though, you know, some sunny, dry, cold days would indeed be nice

Oooh, I have another friend who's a fan. Thanks!

I find I get along well with *almost* all coffee. I grew up with Folgers Instant. The exception is Maxwell House. Decades ago there was a contract on the NJ turnpike where all rest stops carried it. I shuddered through the whole state

They don’t make it cheap do they? A lot of the bean folks do have pretty regular sales. I wait for those when I want to order

I’d love to hear about some more affordable stuff you find tasty to add to my morning routine!

Verve Coffee x Grateful Dead | Morning Brew Blend | Limited Edition Inspired by the free-spirited energy of the Grateful Dead, this brew is timeless and experimental, with a layer of spontaneity and heart in every sip.

I also like these beans! I think it’s fair to be a li’l’ skeptical about band collaborations, but I love Verve, and loved this light roast that’s Dead branded

I went to my favorite roaster in Seattle to pick up some decaf. They asked what I liked, and I said, as I get older, my tastes are changing, and I really like light roasts more. He said, "My wife would tell you you're just getting snobbier." πŸ˜†

I’d love to share that excerpt. Where is it from?

This is my shit. Also my jam. Also my favorite. (Oh wait, that’s ROGET’S large language model.)

My brother came home from college freshman year and told my mom he’d take her. I asked if I, a seventh grader could come too. She said yes. Most of the fun stuff was way over my head, but I had a blast and was/am grateful to both of them

I def had a crush on her on the West Wing

And the next Dylan Bootleg Series? Or does that not fall under Legacy?
