Fun Fact: I'm more palatable in person.
Me: Are you guys open on Thanksgiving?

Checker: Yeah, because it’s all about greed and… [insert 5-minute anti-capitalist rant]

Me: (Damn. I just wanted to make a joke about how many times my wife is going to send me back for butter.)

I’ve found that the more complicated someone’s order is for food, drinks, or coffee, the higher-maintenance they are.

There are people in your life who are the classic glass-half-empty types. You just have to watch how much time you spend around them.

Then there are the ones for whom the glass is three-quarters empty — and what’s left in it is poison. Those are the people you need to cut out at all costs.

Yes, I know it’s cliché, capitalist, and consumer-centric, but for my money (pun intended), there’s nothing like going to the mall to get in the Christmas spirit.

I'm not 100% sure about this but I think every song they play at Starbucks is Taylor Swift.

30 minutes spaghetti and eight hour Bolognese sauce. Don’t hate.

I’ve been eating in Vietnamese restaurants for 33 years, and this is the first time I’ve tried this dish. Easily one of the best things I’ve ever eaten.

Twenty years, seven unpublished novels, one surprising literary pen-pal—and suddenly Virginia Evans is the breakout author of the year. Sometimes the plot twist really does come at the end. #booksky

I know a fan of the subtle, elegant prose of Philip Larkin when I see one.

The need to be right is the biggest enemy of finding solutions that work.

We build all kinds of tricks to protect that feeling. But when you finally drop them, life gets much easier.

The funny thing is, once you stop using those tricks, you recognize them instantly in others.

I had to go to Vegas. And I hate Vegas.

But I love finding indie bookstores, and The Writer’s Block delivered.

Located in the Arts District, with a café attached — my 2nd favorite combo, a bar attached being my 1st — it has a great selection and I got a nice haul to add to my shelves.

No matter how old I get, I’m always caught off guard when I look over and see a gorilla driving a car.

A rockstar and a trader go onto a podcast…

Had a blast talking all things music and markets with the uber-talented Phil Soussan (Ozzy Osbourne, Billy Idol, Toto) on the latest episode of Joe’s Happy Hour with Joe Fahmy.

🎸📈 Music meets markets.
