La Commune (Paris 1871) was strange, I couldn't really comprehend a lot of it, but it was very interesting

only way morbs would ever root for the phillies or braves is against the yankees (he did so with the phils in 2009). don't think he'd quite worked up a similar hatred for the nats or marlins.
my sense is that he would very much have disliked his options amongst this year's final four, but might have leaned dodgers had their winning last year and then signing bauer not poisoned the well
just as well he didn't live to see jake arrieta's devolution, i suppose : /
best to you surmie <3

I am reading John Lurie’s memoirs and keep thinking about how the New York he writes about is what I think of when I think about Morbs’ New York, all that punk/outsider/weirdo goodness that he kept close to his heart. I miss the old grump.

Missed that, but of course was thinking of him anyway and came across a few old emails from him the other day.

I think of him every time I have pancakes. I bring my own REAL maple syrup to the diner and pour 3x my former amount, no fucks given.

Turns out I am having a pancake breakfast with my kid on Sunday so that seems appropriate.

I was on the road early this morning, and when I finally could stop for breakfast, I had syrup and pancakes without realizing what day it was.The Spirit was with me, I guess.

As with so many things Morbs and I disagree (pancakes lol? Gross.), hence why I miss him terribly.

had pancakes, with fruit not syrup
(while cooking, thought about it sucking that Morbz would send unsolicited abuse to posters off-borad)

Now I would like to discuss with him on the astral plane the Little Rascals episode in which Wheezer, feeling neglected and ignored due to the arrival of a new sibling, decides to take matters into his own hands, with the assistance or at least the moral support of Petey the dog, and make some pancakes of his own with predictably comic results, which I know see is entitled “Bouncing Babies.”

Also the hotel I am staying in right now has a triptych display in the lobby of the The Many Friends I mean Faces of Dorothy Gale in honor of the the not-quite-fortnight between Morbius’s Jahrzeit and the so-called Gay Christmas at the end of month, at which time they will host The Wicked Witch of the West’s Halloween Bash.
