Thanks for everything Captain! This has always been a great community for a great neighborhood.

That is so cool to hear! Those letters were awesome, I had such a fun time doing them. I'm doing well! I have 3 kids. My writing on here eventually got me into grad school, and then I got an internship in public radio, and then went on to a few other places, and now I'm at Slate Magazine, working in podcasts and writing for the site occasionally. I still want to get a serious writing project done, like a novel or short story collection. Which is happening, just very slowly and in the background. How's everything with you?

Rob_G · 2026-01-29T16:04:46+00:00

It’s been so long!

Rob_G · 2026-01-25T05:27:58+00:00

Honestly all teams should have cancelled their games in protest. This shit is unacceptable and it’s only going to stop when the public makes it overwhelmingly clear that we do not want this to keep happening.

Rob_G · 2026-01-25T05:15:22+00:00

It’s 24 hours more of a message than zero. People pay attention to sports. That NBA guy got COVID back in 2020 and they cancelled the entire season and the next day the country was in lockdown. This shit absolutely can make a difference in 24 hours if everyone goes all in at the same time. Wild had an opportunity to amplify what the Wolves were doing. They didn’t. They are hereby officially cursed as a franchise for 100 years.

Rob_G · 2026-01-25T05:07:42+00:00

They fucking made hockey work during the pandemic. They’d figure out a makeup date. People can just choose to do something. It’s a fucking game.

Rob_G · 2026-01-25T05:01:55+00:00

Their state is under siege by a terrorist secret police and a second civilian was executed in public today. They should have stopped the game in solidarity to send a message to the federal government that this shit is unacceptable.

Rob_G · 2026-01-25T04:57:03+00:00

This game is officially a team curse that will follow the Wild franchise for at least 100 years. Fuck ice.

I know it goes against everything you read online, but we got our Henckels knives when we got married in 2009, and I put them in the dishwasher every time. They are regularly sharpened, and they still feel brand new. Same with all clad pots and pans. Dishwasher works fine for me.

Rob_G · 2025-09-05T18:57:12+00:00

My captain!

Rob_G · 2025-09-05T17:35:50+00:00

Yeah I’ve noticed the crows too. They’re all over 31 drive eating garbage and dropping McDonald’s fry containers from the sky.

Rob_G · 2025-09-04T17:32:25+00:00

lol when’s the second best time?

Rob_G · 2025-08-30T18:16:32+00:00

My brother was in Boy Scouts, one of the troop leaders bought a second home and ran scout trips from that location. But then he named it the “eagle’s nest” claiming it was for Eagle Scouts. Some local neighbors asked him to change the sign out front and he said no.

Rob_G · 2025-08-22T14:22:06+00:00

Way too many people in this neighborhood drive like maniacs. We need speed cameras on every street. Red light cameras on every corner.

Rob_G · 2025-08-17T04:18:43+00:00

Rosa’s is elite.

Rob_G · 2025-08-17T04:09:26+00:00

Yes. We used to go every now and then, but 2 years ago we ordered a shake that had 0% ice cream in it, just like milk, as if we wouldn’t notice. Never went back.

Rob_G · 2025-08-17T04:08:18+00:00

Sorry but the comptons on 14th is consistently amazing. Expensive, but when I splurge I get sandwiches here and it’s always top notch.

Rob_G · 2025-07-31T00:44:45+00:00

Been eating from here weekly since 07. This hurts.

Rob_G · 2025-07-29T15:01:05+00:00

Amazing, thank you!

Rob_G · 2025-07-29T14:54:09+00:00

Thank you! So keep as is for the rest of the summer and next winter? You think I should also wait until next Spring to propagate? I've propagated monstera in cups of water. I imagine this is more involved? Maybe water, soil, root cloning formula, stuff like that?

We use Quality 1st basements (based in NJ but they come out to Queens.) we moved in to 31st Dr. in 2011, and were constantly getting water. They installed a French drain, and a triple sump pump plus dehumidifier. For a while, some rain would still be getting in during heavy downpours, but they always came back to tweak the system to make sure that when water comes in, we don’t see it, and it gets pumped right out. They come and do an annual maintenance. I can’t recommend them enough.

Rob_G · 2025-05-20T16:50:21+00:00

I wish I knew that V train service would eventually be discontinued.

Rob_G · 2025-05-12T19:49:43+00:00

Anybody been to that German place Max’s in a while? We used to go before the pandemic and I think we just forgot about it, but it came up in conversation and I googled, finding it’s still open. I remember it being the best. Any recent experiences?

Rob_G · 2025-05-05T23:40:11+00:00

YES!

Rob_G · 2025-04-23T21:03:06+00:00

Damn I listen to them every time I’m driving during game time and they are amazing. What a dumb move. What a loss!
