We’ve had a few weeks off but the holidays and funerals are thankfully over. It’s 2008, and it’s clearly time to party like it’s 1988-1998.

But he is somehow such that it almost feels reasonable that there’s a 3,000-word profile about him in
Hanging out with this little shit (not yet sure if that’s a term of endearment) whom New York Magazine just did a 5-page profile of, and dubbed “The Littlest Hustler.” He’s my best friend’s fourteen year-old cousin. And is very upset that there’s no Cristal about the house. The hotel room was boring. So Alex
Patriots to Providence — “Drop Dead” Cox Cable customers received a notice today that the final game of the regular season, December 29th/Patriots at Giants, will only be available in this area on the NFL Network, and for that you have to buy an extra sports bundle.
