That error was “Jazz hands”

Is that critical Yankee error “Jazz hands?”

I'll help foot the bill for that!

I don’t like being pedantic. But thought it was worth sharing with you. 👍🏻

Sure. I like that it focuses on a specific moment in his life, instead of going for the lifetime hagiography thing. The director has done good work on music movies before, so that is a plus.

Yes. I befriended Rosanne Cash on Twitter because she was a big fan of Nurse Jackie, a show I worked on. I inviter her and New Yorker critic Nancy Franklin to set for a meet and greet. That was a fun day for everyone.

A young man was killed last week in Great Barrington MA after hitting a moose with his motorcycle. Sad story.

I heard some of his victims were going to be in DC today.

I got my Kia e-Niro in 2020 and that was the great revelation to me. Tires, brakes, a few fluids. That's pretty much it.

I think that focusing on a specific period of time (like the Dylan movie) is somewhat promising. That director also has done music pictures before so I am hopeful.

I felt odd while jogging 19 years ago (at age 42) and went to ER. Failed a stress test. Never had a heart attack but now i have stents. And now at age 61, in the best shape i have been in in 20 years. Jason, you are correct. Go in for checkups, and listen to your body. Glad you're well!

I had no other choice but to keep going. I left Florida and there was no way I was going back there. And I had the greatest mentors. It all worked out. And now I may retire.

The only operation more important for this Guardians fan is “Operation Fuck the Yankees”.
