"OF COURSE WE SERVE CRABS. IN FACT, WE SERVE ANY0NE".
HAH. A great ad for Legal Seafood. Kind of right up my alley.
Moving on to some matters of import if only to me:
--A great visual of what is so enriching about the place I live. At a mall in Cambridge (home as you know of the world's greatest university). It is a Saturday night and the mall is bustling and buzzing and I am the oldest person by a good ten years. It is a United Nations of people mostly older adolescents all bopping around with bags and packages and having a great time in THIS COUNTRY AND NOT IN WHATEVER WAR TORN COUNTRY THEY CAME FROM.
--Second visual. This also in a mall and, as I write that, i wonder why I have been in two of these fucking malls in the last ten days--yikes. Two young adolescent girls with long flowing dresses and wearing hajibs. Accompanied by an older gentleman who I presume to be their father. Buying athletic gear (I believe lacrosse stuff). Could not do that wherever they came from.
--I wil just say it: WE ARE A BETTER PLACE WHEN WE LIVE WITH THOSE "OTHERS".
--The city of Boston just approved kind of like an excise tax the proceeds of which will go to culture, the arts, and the environment. it is based on your income and the value of your property (I think!!) I thought it was a great idea since it could not be used, as an example, for salary increases. But then the lunatics came out of their nice little homes with their nice little proposals. One of which is something along the lines of the following: use the dollars to creates a food forest for pollinators. Umm/hmmm. There are people who want to use the money so bees can make honey--I think thats what this means. EEEEK, get the butterfly net out and not for the bees.
--A while back one of those talking heads on MSNBC casually mentioned that this Stormy Daniels business might turn out to be more damaging than the Russian business. I'm starting to believe. Would you hire Michael Cohen to be your lawyer?
--Pruitt is doing exactly what the boss wants done in terms of anti environmental action. He may never get fired but even if he does, he has already done some serious damage. They are so intent on undoing what Obama and his crew did.
--The Globe continues to barrage us with animal stories and stories about the Pope. They may have no foreign correspondents but they obviously have a full timer working on animal issues and another working on issues related to the Catholic Church.
--Culture tip 1: Watch the Chris Rock concert on Netflix called "Tambourine". Hysterical while also dealing with issues of race as a black father.
--Culture tip 2: The NY Times magazine of 4/8 has two great articles. One about the boys basketball team on a reservation in Montana. The second by and about a gun owner who is thoughtful and not a robot for the NRA.
--Our bags are not packed but we are ready to go across the pond hoping to see the royals. Taking a close relative.
SPORTS TALK
Both the Bruins and the Celtics are a joy to watch. However, the upside for the Bruins is much higher and the NHL has no equivalent team like the Warriors. Get your parade gear ready. I wish Gronk would just go ahead and make movies--screw him.
