'Twas the night before football,And all through the site… I'm gonna not start that, or else I'm gonna spend my work hours trying to craft a poem instead of *checks notes* string quartet transcriptions while on-call for tutoring.

I didn't think I'd have to do this again, so soon. But I do, and… I won't be able to again, and I have the space and the airtime. For those not in the loop, my remaining grandmother, on my mother's side, passed away early Tuesday morning (just after midnight). I'd

The subway stations are oppressively hot (dear god, Herald Square in summer), the Mister Softee trucks have been pushed out by bootlegs (like New York Soft Serve), and the Canada wildfire smoke has (mostly) subsided! We hope. It's that time, because they don't yearly

Ah yes, summer camp, the wonderful fun of doing… whatever arts and crafts shit, I don't know what goes on at most sleepaway camps. The only sleepaway camp I went to was music camp, and though we had a good time it's not nearly as fun as the "one time

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

I was gonna do something like rate the Sousa marches, but there are a lot of Sousa marches. So I'm gonna not do that, considering it would have ended in some sort of joke about the piccolo solo in the last time of "The Stars and Stripes Forever" after the

(Wow, nicely done, me.) Well, I didn't finish any gigs after midnight this past week, so I'll take it. That took me almost a week to fully recover, even while I had other gigs that week. Or actually that's part of why. So, let's scramble here! -There's one race left in this

One of the stories in the writers' backroom this past week has been my Sunday night. I am still recovering from it, because, well, it's nothing short of the longest gig any of us have ever had. Including the contractor. Who had played something in the morning. In short, call time

The Euro footy's over (and who cares about MLS, even with Messi), and we have the relief that Florida Man will not win championships this year. Or championship, thanks to the Nuggets and Golden Knights winning their
