Been catching up on this week’s recorded Bosox games. What a great cocktail is @Eck43, OB, and @KMillar15 in the booth. Great energy & funny as hell.

Please retire gasbags @JohnMcEnroe & Mary Carillo. They're infatuated with their own voices while they're missing great tennis. #outtopasture #newblood

@aloeblacc All Love Everything. What a wonderful album. Thank you. So spiritually uplifting and exactly what we need right now.

@SarahKSilverman “Box of Bullets” would be a great rock band or the name for your next comedy joint. (Is a white guy allowed to use “joint” like that?) I don’t know ....

Good lord, @rayadverb - I’m sitting on my patio bawling and hoping the neighbors don’t see me, having just read the last chapter (post-epilogue) of Lessons From Lucy. Okay to shed a few tears though in gratitude for all the belly laughs over the years.

@JoeBiden I think your campaign can and should be summed up in three words: Hope, not Hate.

@npratc Every morning before facing the cruel, crazy, beautiful world I listen to Johnny Clegg's Cruel Crazy Beautiful World to start the day. #nostressplaylist

@npratc #nostressplaylist I listen to “Cruel Crazy Beautiful World” by Johnny Clegg every morning before facing our cruel crazy beautiful world.

So, the plan was to enjoy @jimmypardo tonight at Wiseguys in SLC and then jump onto a plane tomorrow for Kauai. NOPE and NOPE.

@marcmaron Damn! End Times Fun is flawless. Shades of Carlin in its perfection. And, spot-on about that Skynyrd live album too - KILLER!

A thought: Wouldn't it be, you know - PRESIDENTIAL - for Trump to offer his probably now empty hotels & resorts and Mar-a-Lago for use as temporary hospitals?

And now, a break for some happy news.

We are honored that our breakout album, Live at Budokan, is being added to the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress. We thank our loyal fans who nominated us, and our favorite Rockford School… https://t.co/yt8NS7Yg1l

A long but important read. And besides, what else have you got to do? https://t.co/ah1oFfWtBt

@realDonaldTrump A thought: Wouldn't it be, you know - PRESIDENTIAL - for Trump to offer his probably now empty hotels & resorts and Mar-a-Lago for use as temporary hospitals?

[Ted Scheffler @Critic1]

@jimmypardo Indeed. We probably won’t arm wrestle when you come to SLC in April. The good news is it hurts too much to flash the fascist OK sign now.

[Ted Scheffler @Critic1]

In an attempt to be ever more like @jimmypardo I managed to injure a rotator cuff. Now, like Jimmy, I’m never not in pain.

[Ted Scheffler @Critic1]

The “stable genius” has really gone off the rails with his hour-plus long meandering stream of consciousness “celebration.” WTF?

[Ted Scheffler @Critic1]

Time to plan a trip to Kaysville for the best Utah restaurant you've never tried. https://t.co/LzZ3dzAHfG

This is what a President looks like. https://t.co/HOTzaEvLAF

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

In every scene, you are my star, @MichelleObama! Happy birthday, baby!

Just discovered the genius of Jean Shepherd thanks to @thedonaldfagen. My favorite radio dude after @realphilhendrie.
