“Aw yeah. Brooks Brothers dude? They’re great!”

The episode of The Dollop podcast about the Brooks Brothers is amazing: 516 - BROOKS BROTHERS

They got rich selling cheap clothes to slave owners to outfit their slaves. And then outfitted the Union Army during the Civil War.

I took that as a positive sign since I not only trust a cop more to recommend a decent place to grab breakfast in their neighborhood than to tell me where to get a suit, but food is more relevant to my general interests. When the cashier started looking for someone to pay for an egg white, bacon and cheese no one volunteered. The guy taking orders pointed to the first cop who muttered “egg whites?” but paid for it anyway.

I ordered the same as the second cop, who was in front of me in line, which as per the menu was a wrap with egg whites, pepper jack, avocado and tomatoes. In reality I got a wrap with egg whites, perhaps jack (no pepper), avocado, turkey, lettuce and ranch. Well crafted and quality ingredients but not what I wanted.

NYPD ain’t know breakfast and pay too much for their suits.

The Strokes warned us two decades ago.

I kinda like Brooks brothers cause I can buy the suit pieces separately. Didn't think prices were worse than any others but maybe an outlet. Have lasted some years but the pant rear pocket inevitably gets a fat wallet hole.

Just discovered that someone made over $1000 worth of Amazon purchases using my debit card yesterday ( I never use my debit card on Amazon...only my AmEx).

So I've got that fun to look forward to today.

I put my youngest to bed most every night. Our older two were so close in age that it was all we could do to just survive each day. With Gus I've tried to savor things more since I knew he'd be our last.

Each night I climb into his top bunk, and he settles into the lower bunk. I know he's getting properly tired when he starts telling me how much he loves me. It's really nice, even if his stalling means that it's nearly a two hour process to get him to sleep, (starting from last snack, bath, etc.).

That’s really nice, Chedda. How old is Gus?

Yeah, when that’s gone, it’s gone. Enjoy it.

My wife just had a shouting match with the 16 year old who wanted us to come upstairs and say goodnight with a minute left in the Steelers game.

It’s gone.

I had a pilots license back in the day. If I could land a Cessna when I was 22, I could easily land a jetliner 35 years later.

I’d land it, let you jump on board and fly you for some of NJ’s best pickles.

I played Top Gun on the original Nintendo and could land on an aircraft carrier. A modern plane on a runway would be way easier.

Right? Slow down, speed up! Left left right crash. Took forever to get it. But a real plane? First time, no problem
