I'm not 100% sure about this but I think every song they play at Starbucks is Taylor Swift.

30 minutes spaghetti and eight hour Bolognese sauce. Don’t hate.

I’ve been eating in Vietnamese restaurants for 33 years, and this is the first time I’ve tried this dish. Easily one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

She Almost Gave Up. Now She Has the Year’s Unlikely Hit Novel. After struggling as an author for two decades, Virginia Evans has a bestseller with ‘The Correspondent.’

Twenty years, seven unpublished novels, one surprising literary pen-pal—and suddenly Virginia Evans is the breakout author of the year. Sometimes the plot twist really does come at the end. #booksky

Thinking programs the brain. Writing debugs it.

I know a fan of the subtle, elegant prose of Philip Larkin when I see one.

"You ever get the feeling you've been cheated."

The holiday season has officially begun.

The need to be right is the biggest enemy of finding solutions that work.

We build all kinds of tricks to protect that feeling. But when you finally drop them, life gets much easier.

The funny thing is, once you stop using those tricks, you recognize them instantly in others.

It was pretty cool.

I had to go to Vegas. And I hate Vegas.

But I love finding indie bookstores, and The Writer’s Block delivered.

Located in the Arts District, with a café attached — my 2nd favorite combo, a bar attached being my 1st — it has a great selection and I got a nice haul to add to my shelves.

BREAKING: The Fonz is 80.

No matter how old I get, I’m always caught off guard when I look over and see a gorilla driving a car.

Some light evening reading. #booksky

Proof that people have no taste.

When in Vegas…

Booze is better when a robot serves it.

Vegas doesn’t waste any time getting you from zero to full degen.

Nice 2-day move in $BROS, but it’s running into resistance at the 50EMA with earnings next week. If you’re in this trade, manage it according to your timeframe and risk parameters.

Despite swearing with every fiber of my being in my youth that I’d never utter this phrase, I just found myself having the “as long as you’re living in this house…” talk with my kids.

Someone please kill me now.

Nobody ever said on their deathbed, “I wish I spent more time arguing politics on social media.”
