Not that anybody asked, but the last time the @NYKnicks won a championship, the planet Neptune had not yet completed one orbit around the Sun since its discovery in 1846.
🚨AMAZON DRIVER RUNS OVER FAMILY DOG AND LEAVES HER TO DIE
On April 21st at 4:56PM, an Amazon delivery driver in Benson, NC ignored clear instructions, entered a private driveway, and ran over Sadie, a beloved dog owned by Marshall and Valerie Chavis. The driver did not stop, did not check on her, and did not notify the family.
Within minutes, Sadie was rushed to the vet with catastrophic injuries, including severe brain trauma and fractures to her C1 and C2 vertebrae. She is alive, but barely, and now fighting for her life.
In Valerie’s words:
“Immediately upon impact Sadie ran to the front porch as a dog does when they have been hit. She was urinating uncontrollably, trying to stand and repeatedly falling over, her left eye bulging out of her head, both of her eyes bouncing back and forth rapidly, both pupils dilated, and visible bruising and abrasions on the left side of her body from impact. I immediately knew her injuries were severe.”
The Chavis family had done everything right. A clearly marked package drop box at the road. Posted signage. No Trespassing notices. Explicit delivery instructions. Carriers like FedEx and UPS follow these directions without issue. Amazon drivers have repeatedly ignored them.
Now, instead of taking responsibility, Amazon is refusing to step up. The company is demanding the family pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for emergency, life saving care, with only the possibility of partial reimbursement later.
This is negligence. This is unacceptable. And it cannot be ignored.
AMAZON NEEDS TO #SaveSadie.
Share this and demand that Amazon take responsibility and change its practices before another family suffers the same devastation. @amazon
Here’s a little Circus Boy clip that makes me laugh for reasons that probably weren’t obvious at the time.
Let’s just say young Micky had a few things to learn about drums.
Sometimes life slips in a joke before you’re in on it.

My Grandparents Were Married For 60 Years.
One Day I Asked My Grandfather:
“What’s The Secret To Loving The Same Woman For A Lifetime?”
He didn’t laugh.
He didn’t say “communication.”
He didn’t say “date nights.”
He looked at my grandmother, who was in the kitchen, and said:
“You don’t love the same woman.”
That confused me.
He said, “She changes every few years. And if you don’t update the way you love her, you lose her.”
He told me the girl he married at 22 wasn’t the same woman at 30.
Motherhood changed her.
Loss changed her.
Time changed her.
“At 40,” he said, “she needed respect more than romance.
At 50, she needed partnership more than passion.
At 60, she needed presence more than promises.”
And every time she changed, he had a choice:
Complain that she’s “not like she used to be.”
Or learn her again.
He said the biggest mistake men make is this:
They fall in love once.
Then stop paying attention.
“Loving a woman for a lifetime,” he told me,
“is deciding to stay curious about her.”
Not assuming you know her.
Not freezing her in the version you met.
He leaned back and said something I’ll never forget:
“If you stop studying her, someone else eventually will.”
Sixty years.
Not because it was easy.
Because he kept relearning her.
