We Had Game.

If you keep a baseball bat in your car, you should keep a glove, too. Your lawyer will thank you.

Leave the glove in the car when you go to the game, though. It highly offends my friend Jeff, who insists you catch a ball bare-handed, and he’s right.

We caught the exciting extra-inning Yankee win Friday night, here in Anaheim, with our friend DJ McHale. (Jeff is on the left, DJ on the right.) DJ is the hugely-talented author of the book series Pendragon and Morpheus Road, and the nicest guy.

Just three dudes kicking off the evening with a jumbo frank. Not that there’s anything wrong with it. By the way: I put my shoe in the pic for scale. Also by the way: Jeff, please forgive me for putting my shoe next to your dinner while you grabbed a beer.

I’ve Got Hoes In At Least One Area Code.

I’ve been digging the gardening thing. It looks great, it’s satisfying, and Ricky has a place to hang. And nobody suspects you’re digging a grave when you’re always working on your landscape.

Growing the lawn from seed was cool, and now my latest addition is the red zygocactus plant. Doesn’t require much water. It’s a nice addition to the purple and yellow. And it feels a little more festive when I clean up discarded cigarette butts out of my yard.

Quality Time. And Quality Shakes.

I saw my niece and nephew hugging, and then I realized they were choking each other, and I was like, okay, that makes more sense.

So I separated them and got in some time with just the girl last night. I picked her up from her golf lesson and we had dinner.

We talked about movies and rollercoasters and I had the Yankee game on mute on my phone – because I care.

Seriously though, Generation Z continues to give me hope that the world won’t be a mess in 20 years. Suck it up ‘til then.

My 3100th Blog Entry.

Writing a blog is like peeling an onion: the deeper you go, the more you cry.

3100 deep so far. As is customary, whenever I hit a milestone, I choose my five favorites from the last 100:

A Walking Tour Of My Hometown. Featuring Ollie Shevin. For a stray from West Virginia, he’s really embraced New York. Put on some comfortable shoes, and join us.

Culinary Corner. I don’t mean to sound racist, but why do all Chinese food takeout boxes look the same? Instead, sup on the homemade stuff here.

To: Every Lady Everywhere. Love: Me. I exist to help women get inside the tiny, tiny brains of men. Grab your electron microscope and catch a glimpse.

My Voice Is On A Commercial Running Right Now. I do a curling commercial, and then we beat Russia in the Olympics. See the connection here.

I Crush Tampa. Or as I like call it: Hurricane Matthew II. Hop on the back of the jet ski here.

It’s Funny ‘Cause It’s True.

If I’ve learned anything from Twitter, it’s that you shouldn’t be learning on Twitter.

I’m still reading Judd Apatow’s massive collection of interviews with comedians, and really liked this back and forth with Saturday Night Live’s Michael Che:

MICHAEL: It’s so passionate on Twitter. But if someone recognizes you on the street, it’s like, “I’m your biggest fan.” Everybody I’ve ever met is my biggest fan and everybody on Twitter thinks I suck and shouldn’t have a job. It’s a strange thing that people do.

JUDD: Twitter’s just this place where the twenty percent who hate what you do will just let you know, and then it feels like eighty percent hate it. I don’t love Spanish rock and roll, but I’m not on the Internet trashing it all day long. People love to debate what works on SNL. In every era of the show, people love to trash it while loving it and watching it. But the audience never seems to understand that the whole show is written in a week and the fun of it is trying to see how many good ones they can uncork.

MICHAEL: I always say that too, when people compare the show to other sketch shows. If we were a taped show that was condensed to a half hour, if we were able to get every perfect shot that we needed with directors, with great comic actors, it would be the best comedy show on TV. But we can’t do that. If our host each week wasn’t a person who has never done comedy before and we didn’t have to write every sketch about them and their ability and skill set, it would be amazing. But that’s not the way the show works – and that what makes it so special.

How Windy Has LA Been?

I half expected to see a Smart Car stuck in a tree.

But I did see a Vons supermarket blown concave.

Okay, we get it. Enough.

Once Again, Purging My iPhone Photos.

I saw four vasectomy billboards on my two-hour drive from across Florida in February. It’s like Florida knows what has to be done to Florida.
