-mimi's was solid. Greens were really good...salmon croquettes were a bit dry, nice to visit with rogue IRL.

-25 years in Nov. Looking at a Montreal/Quebec City trip to celebrate with a few friends. Rec's appreciated as always.

-handled some fools in dubs this morning. Nice dip in a cold pool afterwards is always a good thing.

-nabbed a new pair of Mizuno court shoes when I dropped off Segunda for her tennis clinic...grabbing her up in a bit...

-then it's the couch/reds for the rest of the day...lasagna for dinner tonight.

^best part about starting Saturday early/clocking some dad duties is that the late afternoon/evening can be spent in leisure with no nagging feelings of being unproductive.

-re: reds. Enjoying the moment...neither thinking about the past nor looking to the future. Soaking it in. This is the key to contentment, if not happiness. In all aspects of life. In my experience, at least.

-administering parallel parking lessons for some hours tomorrow...wish me luck.

-just received my copy of the new qotsa album: "in times new roman", pre-ordered in silver vinyl.

^did not disappoint. absolutely the best rock-and-roll band of the last 20 years, imnsho. Josh Homme is that guy.

My buddy just got back from Montreal- will give him a shout.

people get terrified of root canals, but honestly, they're not a big deal. I fell asleep during mine. TS
The problem is timing. Dr Shyong can’t take me until 8/22.

I’ve had one prior about 20 years ago caused by opening beer bottles …. Root canal are arduous and expensive - not painful. 3 -4 steps if I recall. I am quite busy in the city now and have to coordinate. Plus, 2 birthday parties, Vacation, then KY beforehand. I could be stuck remotely with lightning bolt pain.

Tonight - My chicken parm was money. Under broiler for a perfectly toasted and melted topper.
Thin for the win. Linguini sidecar.

XRay showed crack… then he sounded the tooth by banging a tiny hammer against it. I could tolerate it… then again, I am a meat shield for pain.

I’ll buzz them back if I can’t make it.

Bought some Empress gin… gonna make some lavender martinis for a few ladies this eve in the bar… s

I was in Montreal and Quebec when I was around 16 so my recs wouldn’t be recent or good probably.

Quebec was amazing as it was so much like a European city with tiny streets and building on top of each other, I had never seen anything like that before. Stayed at Chateau de Frontenac which was like a castle and super cool to 16 year old rogue and his buddy.

Montreal seemed just like any big American city so it was okay but nothing wild.

Wish I could give restaurant recs but my pallet then probably was boring.

Spent some time in Montreal around 2005 or so. Remember it as a cool city. Old French town feel to it kinda like New Orleans without the smell of urine and foolishness. Downtown area had lots of dining and entertainment options. The old Olympic Stadium had a pretty neat zoo-type place in or next to it. People there said Quebec City is where you go to get the real French-Canadian atmosphere.

I’d like to get high with Beave.

He used to hold himself out as a doctor - a crime - but he’s actually just this underground henchman type dude. Big pharma. One of the ones who knows where the bodies are buried. #Antifa

I had a ticket to the MMJ show in Newport tonight, but gave it away. I really loved that band about 12-15 years ago, but then Jim became Yin or whatever and I fell off with them. When I listen to their music now, it feels like going back in time, but not necessarily to a time I want to go back to.

I’ve spent the day with some hippies out in the country. These people get it - they are happy. Standing on a high ridge in the Northeastern Bluegrass watching a sunset while a quarter moon and Jupiter bust through the haze is Excelsior.

The days right now are just magical. High summer is terrific.

(And no, you degenerates. That was not a “drug” reference. You shouldn’t do drugs! I was speaking as to the sun angle and the length of day relative to our close proximity to the solstice. Salud.)

Do you remember when we were in Africa?

-Happy Sunday Amigos! Probably my favorite day of the week, get to see both parents, church friends, gym friends and of course brunch.

-Rode my bike to the gym this morning and it’s the first time riding any amount besides dog rides in the neighborhood. Shewee, it’s a fixie and the hills here are ridic.

I’ll probably be walking it up the Tates Creek hill going to Armstrong Mill intersection. My cardio isn’t ready for all that.

I’m used to that flat flat topo on bike rides, then had to bring my bike in the gym because I left my lock.

No worries though PF had donuts out ready to negate anything you actually did during your workout. 🙄

The actual ride felt amazing, 69 and cool out. I miss bike rides, takes you back sometimes.

Votre garçon L’Wayne goes to Montréal all the time. Was there two weeks ago in fact. Here are two solid recs:

1) The airport Marriott bar has a fried Cornish Hen that is out of this world. And they serve extra cold Heineken on draft. Seriously, place is money. So get to the airport a little early and have that before you leave.

2) Monarque Restaurant down town. Get the dry aged beef.

Due to my high degree of success romantically, socially and professionally, I often get requests for advice and life tips. Here are some things I do that I encourage you to also begin doing in your own lives. No thanks needed - this is just my way of giving back. Might want to screenshot this:

- To signal my intelligence and education, I’ll often work foreign- mostly Latin - phrasing into my conversations, stuff like “quid pro quo”, “mea culpa” and “carte blanche” in place of more proletarian English phrasing. I also greet and say goodbye to people with “Ciao.”

- Instead of calling someone “close to you” or a “dear friend” refer to your biggest allies as your “ride or die.” Ex. “Oh Bill? Yeah I’ve known him for years. He’s my ride or die.”

- When first dating a young lady, resist the urge to commit. When brought up, simply say, “I don’t like to put labels on things.” Do this for at least a year.

- When interviewing a prospective employee, ALWAYS describe your culture in this manner, “We work hard on this team” - pause three beats - “but we also play hard.” I’ve never had an offer rejected when using this.

- When eating at a Mexican restaurant, whether fluent or not, make sure to use as many spanish words as possible when interacting with your waiter. For instance, I always introduce myself, “Hola, Miguel. Me llamo WCC. Muy bien.” Ir after chips and salsa are brought to the table, “Gracias, Senor. Muy bien.”

- If you really like something- a sports team or player, a musician, whatever- never say you’re a “fan” of them. No, say you “stan” them. Ex. “Oh I stan the Celtics.” You can also say, “I ride for the Celtics.”

- Never say “I’m busy” at work. Go with “I don’t have the bandwidth for this.” I owe my last two promotions to this way of putting things.

- If you have been to an East Coast beach for a summer vacation, make sure to let others know by placing a bumper sticker of that locale on your SUV. For instance, my family has traveled to the Outerbanks in North Carolina and Hilton Head the past few years, so my “whip” (cool way to refer to your car) has an OBX sticker and a South Carolina palmetto tree sticker.

- If you’re successful at ANYTHING, always use the verb “crush” to describe that success. “I crushed that sales call.”

- Constantly brag on the school system in which your house resides. This signals high class.

- At both work and in social settings, when in charge of ordering pizza for a group, no matter if only 10% of the party is vegetarian, make sure to severely overorder cheese and only-veggie pizza.

- Change your work email signature to say “Cheers.”

- This one is probably most important, put up a cheap yardsign prominently in front of your house that demonstrates how welcoming you are to neighbors of different faiths, ethnicities, lifestyles and races than yourself.

-That was fantastic Chad, 👏. As has been mentioned, a good “Salt Life” sticker really lets people know you love the beach but either don’t have the money or balls to move there as well, but that you HAVE been before.

-Neighbors were shooting off the big boom booms at 10p last night. Not bottle rockets, the “thooooomp pssssshhhhhh BAAAAAAAAAANG” ones. I know it’s Saturday but it’s also 10p and it’s a week and a half til the 4th. Dad and dog were confused and a little scared. Is it alright to go over and ask them to stop or is that a “get off my lawn” type thing?

-If pops doesn’t stop turning the AC down to 68 every time he walks by the thermostat after I put it on 72 I’m going to lose it.

This is the same guy that wouldn’t let us even had the AC on in the dead of summer growing up.

“Can we turn the AC on Dad?”

“Just open a window!”

“That’s literally where the heat is coming from…”

“Put a fan in the window!”

🤦‍♂️

Nice to get my teams Sunday baseball out of the way early.

European baseball trips>>>>> NFL European trips.

Actually seeing the Cardinals and realizing how little they have around Arenado/Goldschmidt is disappointing. Quite possibly the worst STL team in decades!

This is incredible work. Maybe the whitest post in the history of GYERO. Very jealous.

This one is huge in the Highlands / Rolling Fields / Indian Hills of Louisville. You know what's not huge in the Highlands / Rolling Fields / Indian Hills? Different faiths, ethnicities, lifestyles and races.

10/10. Maybe a quarter point deduction for not adding "thinking outside the box" or "finding your why" but otherwise perfect.

I hear hotwifing is a huge hit in Norton Commons.

I had a NC housewife ask me if we could go back in my room and do blow last year because she saw me putting my fingers on my nose and sniffing (due to hayfever). So I assume if I get a chance to hotwife with anyone I figure it will be her, but I don't want to sleep with some ****** coke fiend.

Brodies I was asked to bang so many dudes wives in KW (hotwifing), swinging is super common there as is voyeurism (husband watching you bang his wife) but I didn’t want some dude there watching me so I always declined. And I’m not saying I’m anything special, lots of bartenders get straight up asked no beating around the bush.

When I was on tinder years ago, those dudes would start making their wives tinder profiles as it got closer to Fantasy Fest and half of the people you’d “connect” with were actually dudes pimping out their wives. Like you’re communicating with him not her. Super weird.

I’ve had a few 3somes and 1 4some all in High School oddly enough. Probably not healthy for a 16 year old. I’m definitely not into sharing (the 4 some). It was odd having my buddy wax my gf and me wax her best friend 3 feet away, although she was fire.

With no surprise to anyone, I started banging her bestie on the side and she started banging my buddy. Those things just don’t work out usually.
