Haha, I should play it off as a typo since it was also right after I graduated. But the things I misremember keep getting more absurd. Thanks for the correction

My three favorite things about the Knickerbockers are John Starks, Spike's enduring fandom, and how good they made the Rockets look in '93. (No shade intended, beating them earned that trophy just as much as if MJ hadn't gone on to show us the spread between college and pro level baseball)...

This is why I took a risk on sizing and ordered the SB's. That weird plastic-looking swoosh on modern flaxes is terrible, and my 8-year old pair finally got relegated to lawn shoes (replacing the ancient Pendleton ID's). Anyways, the swoosh on the SB flax's is also slightly different, but with...

Osh in 3... 2... 1... (That said, as much as I'm opposed to large-scale PE play in residential RE,I agree with him that the current price effects have been negligible)

I’ll be there in two weeks. What are your top stops for sneakers?

Texas probably isn’t actually in play; they will find a way to break my heart the second I have hope for them. But to the extent it is in play, it has less to do with anything Telarico is doing than the fact that the Republicans nominated a maniac who is despised by a lot of centrists. I f...

Doo doo doo doot doot, doot doot doo doo… MOM! Doo doo doo doot doot, doot doot doo doo… DAD! Doo doo doo doot doot, doot doot doo doo… Bingo! Doo doo doo doot doot, doot doot doo doo… (Love ‘em!)

Man, it just really depends on who you are. Or what you look like I had to go ballistic on my mom’s oncologist to get palliative care set up after they sent her hope with well -wishes and a suggestion to get some Tylenol after her first dose of chemo

I wish I could say I don’t have a friend whose 70-something mom was dragged out of a crack house trying to score. But I can’t.

To be clear, I include Weiss and Podhoretz in the “ADL” bucket. I think there is a sizeable, wealthy, politically engaged, and currently voiceless constituency within the American US community - people who are breaking or have broken with Israel but who still have strong identity as Jews...

There’s maybe a winning wedge that tries to strengthen (or re-capture) the increasingly large American Jewish population that has problems with Bibi and Likud. Schumer has the bonafides to do it, but it would actually take work to work to establish antisemitic fighting alternatives to the ADL, etc

I love those bronze jewels. For the most part, I can’t wear white shoes with Khakis. To my eyes, it’s just too golfer. But I will happily rock those with the most basic 2L’s and feel good about it. Mine definitely came from Europe. Was there even a US drop? I remember waiting for them and...

Yeah, my 2019 flax pair finally moved on to being gardening shoes. I feel like they limped along for the last year to give me the opportunity to buy these instead of the standard flax. But I’m worried about the sizing so my dumb brain is considering ordering the oreowood on StockX so I can...

I’m older than you, so I’d say since the Reagan days. But my dad would say Nixon. There’s a pattern…

Navy/blacks remind me of early 90’s Elesse suede sneakers that came in all kinds of 90’s “Oak Tree” colors like olive and mustard, but also navy iirc. Those we comfortable shoes.
