How long does it take to print out 509 manuscript pages on my desktop inkjet printer? Nine out of the 10 songs on Supertramp’s “Breakfast in America.”

A lot of wisdom, right there.

Favorite part of the Nikola Jokic presser, on patience, process and the journey to the NBA Championship:

“If you want to be successful, you need to be bad, then you need to be good, then when you’re good, you need to fail, then when you fail, you’re going to figure it out.”

Just now seeing all the tweets of former colleagues at The Athletic who have been laid off. I’m so sorry.

America’s airports: Where you have a statistically significant chance of encountering a Gen Xer singing along with Hootie & The Blowfish in a bar and grill bearing a name like “The Stone Rose.”

I got to know Dan Gensel when he was a basketball coach. He became one of my dearest friends, a community icon, and the voice of a region. He'll be missed.

@akbragg One of the best friends I've made in this life. That would have presented an obstacle had I covered his team for longer than a season. I didn't, and it didn't.

@EMcGeeCle Dangit! I forgot about Flaming Pie! Like I said, almost impossible to commit.

[Craig Lancaster @AuthorLancaster]

@EMcGeeCle Oooh, I’d have a hard time committing to that list. First-blush top five: 1. Band on the Run; 2. Venus and Mars; 3. Chaos and Creation; 4. Flowers; 5. Ram. … Maybe.

[Craig Lancaster @AuthorLancaster]

@EMcGeeCle My favorite song on “Flowers in the Dirt.” Space Invaders anecdote is cool, but I’ll really be impressed if he can game Tempest. #80skid
