Hello, Jack again. Thank you everyone for your support. The funeral will be streamed on Facebook tomorrow at 11:00 am. I will post a link here. There will also be a recorded version we'll upload as soon as we can.

[Lance Mannion @LanceMannion]

We're just floored by the generosity people have shown. If you're still looking to help out, there is a link to a go fund me below.

Hello everyone. This is Jack again. First, I want to thank everyone for their well wishes, supports, and tributes. Dad would have been touched, and would probably make some self-deprecating joke about he didn't deserve them. We are thankful he had many loyal readers and friends.

The funeral will be held this Wednesday at 11:00 am. To make sure anyone who wants to be will able to see it, we'll be live streaming it and recording it. We are working out the details right now, and I will post an update with a link and a other important information.

So many people have said so many great things, and my apologies if I miss reacting to a few. Below is a go fund me generously set up by @SusieMadrak. Thank you once again for all the kind words.

Hello, this is Jack again. First, I want to thank everyone for their kind words. Dad would have been so awed by all the love and support, and then he probably would have made a self deprecating joke. After examination it was determined that his death was due to natural causes.

Hello, this is Lance/David's son, Oliver/Jack. It's my sad duty to report that my father passed very suddenly in his sleep. We are making arrangements. The cause of death has not been discovered yet.

Post game interview:

"Analyst": Please repeat back to me what I'm going to "ask" you in the form of statement, then we can both pretend my take is your take on the game

Star player of the game: Can I put some ums and uhs in there?

"Analyst": Of course, that would make it real

[Lance Mannion @LanceMannion]

Yes, I know what the big news of the day is. I'm betting you already do too. So I have nothing to add, and whenever that's the case the best move is to actually add nothing

It’s enough that if Zion Williamson, or anyone like him, ever really does want to come play there, the Knicks can offer themselves as an actual contender, not ...

I'm having fun watching these Knicks. But if they can land Zion for next season I'll probably have even more fun

Be careful what you read first thing in the morning. Now in addition to the 200 books I'm reading I've got all these "westerns" to watch, starting with Nomadland 1/

[Lance Mannion @LanceMannion]

Nomadland, though, is definitely first

That's it. Done for now

“Nomadland” is not the archetypal cowboy movie,@jordan_kisner writes. And yet Fern is a cowboy par excellence, “driven from the safety of ‘civilization’ toward a different kind of existence.” https://t.co/PvvIhyLd8T

Think I'll put off The Rider for a while because I know it's going to break my heart
