Three In-Season Tournament wins ✔️

: Finally got the answer to a branding/ customer service question every parent to a teenaged athlete is dying to get. Thanks, @FastCompany!

: Forget about @DjokerNole’s @usopen win. Can we talk about the marketing and branding coup around #CocoGauff and @newbalance?! 🎾

: With Germany’s win and #DennisSchroder’s MVP award at @FIBAWC, did @Lakers make a mistake in trading him off to Toronto @Raptors this season?

[DJ’s Dad @rajan_noe]

: Congrats, #CocoGauff. Well deserved win. 🎾

lost our checked-in bags at MCO.
All clothes & stuff for our week-long vacation gone.
My wife, a Virgo, made sure my son & I brought our essentials including underwear in our personal bags. And because she’s a hardcore #HarryPotter fan, we also got Hogwarts robes.⚡️

: School year officially ended for my 12-year-old son last week.

He’s moving up to Grade 7 in Fall at @BCHigh, an all-boys Jesuit school in Boston.

Big leap.

I’m one anxious dad.

… and the passengers were just all too chatty. I’m OK with small talk but jeez, I’ve heard life stories of people (and dogs) with my AirPods on!

When we got to Martha’s Vineyard, food was meh—an expensive meh.

Let’s see what’s in store on Day 2.

: I thought taking the Amtrak to Cape Cod to go to Martha’s Vineyard was a good idea. For one, I didn’t havta drive; I can take a 2-hour nap or catch up on my reading, or just be a passenger, for once.

I was wrong.

It was awfully long.
The pipe in music was 80s love songs…

[DJ’s Dad @rajan_noe]

: Tatum steps-up and leads the team in Q4 in a win-or-go-home game.

LeBron? Nah, he just fumbled through and gave up.

Big diff.

What a sellout.
Bron Bron is far—waaay far—from Kobe’s intensity and ability to close and win crucial games.
I said it then, I’ll say it again, let Uncle Bron retire. Bring in fresh, new legs and young players!

: Thanks, @YouTubeTV for the spinning wheel of death in the dying minutes of @NBAonTNT #ECF Game 1. #smh

[DJ’s Dad @rajan_noe]

: Amazing hustle and comeback but we fell short. That’s OK. They said Nuggets were invincible but we made them sweat and panic in the end. We’ll be back, @Lakers. 🏀
