Before I get into this thing, I gotta let you know that Jess & I are running the New York Marathon and need donations to make it happen! All $ goes to Best Buddies — the largest organization dedicated to ending the social and economic isolation of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Even $1 helps! Click HERE to give. If your company does matches, pls lmk/ let them know! Thank you!1
SHORT:
“This is ma wife song” - Borat if he was married 2 Rachel Platten (the woman who wrote Fight Song)
MEDIUM:
As you can see by the Borat joke, I’m doing mentally fabulous. I didn’t get rejected by a bunch of jobs I was being interviewed for this week, and I know exactly what my future looks like.
Also my sister got engaged. Congratulations to her.
LONG:
I’ve just been informed via text that my father is planning the wedding. I look forward to watching my sister walk down the aisle to “Sweet Caroline” (Red Sox Version2).
Instead of a ceremony, we will all clean the garage. The only drinks served will be Margaritas (that come with a man named Rob who I’ve never met in my life).
The dance floor will be a splintery deck, inexplicably refinished three times within two months (and it’s not dry yet! so watch your step!). And the party favors will be skunk traps to lay under the house because skunks keep “finding holes, gettin’ in there, having babies, and dying”.
Guests will be encouraged to shout at any TV they see and practice their golf swing FREELY whenever — and wherever — they want.
What else is happening…
After burning nearly $20 million on his campaign, RFK Jr. has suspended his independent bid for President. Which sucks — he would've been our first president with a worm in his brain — unless you count… every other president.
The astronauts stuck up in space are now NOT COMING BACK TIL 2025. THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SPACEX CAPSULE. Which sucks. Only thing worse than having to call Triple A is calling Elon Musk. But at least… if one of them has a work crush… this gives them more time to make things happen…
Snack Of The Week was a Cinnamon Challah Knot I got from Amy’s Bread inside Chelsea Market because I’m in rehearsal for a play reading right now inside CM.

We ran 13 miles on Sunday and I complained the whole time about how my right foot was (and still is) killing me.
BAH BAH BAH (in drunken Boston accent)
