EDDIE: Who’s on it?

FREDDIE: I got Geese.

My first humor piece was published in Slackjaw this week. Would love it if you read, liked, shared, telephoned, etc. Actually, maybe not telephoned.

I can’t believe I’m on a new social platform in November of 2024.

Anyway, hello! I’m a former Bruins writer who now has a Substack called “the runner.” It’s sort of a Dadstack. There will obviously be essays about the Bruins, too.

It’s free to subscribe! therunner.substack.com
