“Ooh! One-hundred-fifteen years old! They’re older than you, Dad!”

“Dad, what’s the oldest thing in here? Is there anything older than 19-zero-zero?” he asked, as we turned to these late 1800s cabinet cards of Boston Strongboy John L. Sullivan and Gentleman Jim Corbett

Also, I gave a capsule review of “Grandiloquent” to my therapist, and without missing a beat she said, “well, my job here is done. Thank you, Gary, and good night.” @garygulman.bsky.social

Thank you—and EBHIII/
GBH. It’s why I found myself suddenly scarfing lunch at 11:20 (albeit no 3-way but leftover pasta salad from a Too Good to Go from The Butcherie). Made multiple trips to Stoneham Historical Society, also Woburn, Melrose, Wakefield libraries; always plotted home via roast beef

I couldn't resist looking it up; that thread — a full decade ago, January — started with a flurry of news alerts (from ESPN, NBA, and ... Haaretz) about the Cavs parting ways with David Blatt, the pride of Framingham

Thank you, Gary! What a mensch. I don’t spend much time on Twitter anymore, but I still remember the time you kindly weighed in to answer the question of *which* JCC had the breakaway rims when @jasonschwartz.bsky.social & I were discussing that @garygulman.bsky.social classic

Made sure to get this three-Daily-Pennsylvanian-alumni-in-one-frame shot with @stefanfatsis.bsky.social and @substockman.bsky.social at the signing table. (Maybe not a minyan, but is this a DP Alumni Association quorum? A question for the lexicographers, if not the DPAA bylaws…) Also, what a cover!

Thanks, Doug!

And now back to @brooklinebooksmith.bsky.social to pick up the book itself on pub day! Great to see such a nice crowd for @dougmost.bsky.social in conversation with @wbursteve.bsky.social

After the lights came up:

Him: “How many stars would you give it out of 10? I mean a trillion! I mean a quillion! I mean a quillion and 10!?”

Me: “Hmm, I dunno, how many would you give it?”

Him: “Uh, like a 6. No, a 10! … No, 6; it was kind of scary. Can we see the next one next year?”
