Between TRAF on Friday and the Pride parade today I think I’ve lost about 2 pounds of pure sweat this weekend.
I swear marching band didn’t seem so hard in my teens…

It turns out I remember THREE WHOLE Spin Doctors songs
It looks like the Spin Doctors have an ASL translator on stage with them. How neat is that?!
Just marched in my first Memorial Day parade in 25 years in Lawrenceville. My chops are fried but what a good time.
When your band is playing at the #NFLDraft there’s only one kind of refreshment you need…
I biked past the festivities on my way home this evening and even with the crowd supposedly falling short of expectations that’s too much crowd for me.
Sometimes powerful people just do dumb shit
Napoleon was, by any reasonable accounting, a genius – a military mind who rewrote the rules of European warfare, a political operator who fought his way up from being a minor league Corsican nobility to the Emperor of France and ruler of most of modern Europe before he turned 35, and a reformer whose ideas around the judicial system and the liberal order still echo today.
But none of that stopped him from making one of the dumbest decisions any leader has ever made, because he was arrogant, because he’d gotten away with so much for so long that he confused his luck for a system, and because (with the exception of Talleyrand) most of the people around him had simply stopped telling him no.
Ramble On
I love this song so much, and this version in particular is so good.
