A few thoughts I put together on the passing of John McCain and the lessons we can learn from his remarkable life. hallmanreport.com/essays/joy… #JohnMcCain

This may go down as the dumbest thing I’ll read on Twitter this week. There was a time when a week didn’t seem like a frame of reference, but it’s Twitter, so to be the dumbest of the week is pretty freaking dumb. – at Manhattan, NY
Neil Armstrong movie 'First Man' omits the American flag being planted on the moon, and star Ryan Gosling defended the decision: 'I don't think that Neil viewed himself as an American hero' read.bi/2C0Xfuv
Probably going to take a social media break for a month or two. Get myself reoriented a bit, unplugged for a while. – at Philadelphia, PA

John McCain and his daughter @MeghanMcCain on the night he won the New Hampshire Republican primary in 2000.
It's ironic to watch @tedcruz and the @GOP use images and stories of @BetoORourke in his youth when that's the exact playbook the @TheDemocrats are using against Judge Kavanaugh. – at Manhattan, NY

I just had the pleasure of mowing Ms.Foster’s lawn for her . She recently got a citation for $200 from the city because her grass was getting high . But She no longer has to worry about her lawn . I will be taking care of it from now on . Making a difference one lawn at a time
I’m largely in favor of reducing our military footprint around the world. I’m not full-on libertarian about it, but a middle ground between them and a neocon position. But this is the one area where I absolutely believe we need a showing of strength, along with the South Pacific. – at Manhattan, NY
You know what New York State is not? The state investigating Harvey Weinstein, coincidentally after Cuomo received a donation from Weinstein’s law firm. But don’t worry, nothing to see here. – at Manhattan, NY
I didn’t watch the Nixon/Cuomo debate. After seeing some highlights this morning, all I can say is Thank God. – at Trenton, NJ
Right?! I mean, that Deep Throat guy was a total loser and a fraud. Woodward and Bernstein should have gone to jail for using him! – at Trenton, NJ
This is a really important read from @PersisMK. I think one of the things many Americans struggle with is distinguishing between the Iranian government and the Iranian people. The former does not define the latter. Anyway, read on. It’s excellent. – at Pennsylvania, USA
Perspective: Iranians have always lived in limbo in the United States. Now it’s chaos. wapo.st/2BZwOFK
Because I know you all are following along my wrist issues so intently, an update. MRI results came back, showed chronic inflammation and bone erosion likely indicative of some form of arthritis. Waiting for blood test results on that front. Gout has not been ruled out, /1 – at Philadelphia, PA
The kicker, however, is that in addition to all of this, I also have a torn tendon in my wrist, in the dorsal band. No idea how to that happened. So I'm seeing an orthopedic on Tuesday, will almost certainly need surgery. So, fun times. Oh, and it’s my left wrist, /3 – at Philadelphia, PA
and of course I’m left handed. Luckily I’m fairly ambidextrous. I already do a lot with my right (I’m one of those weirdos who eats and writes lefty but plays sports righty), and I’ve broken my left wrist twice, had it re-broken once, so I’m used to being unable to use it. /end – at Philadelphia, PA
I commute from Philly to New York every day. I typically aim for the 7:00 train, knowing if I'm late the 7:22 gets me there in time still. No matter how early I get up, I'm always sprinting out the door and either catching it last minute or missing altogether. /1 – at Philadelphia, PA
