Everyone but me has been sick so I’ve had to step up.
Also had to deal with difficult interrupted sleep over the past few day.
So all in all, pretty glad to be back on the track even for a short-er run, especially before the upcoming work trip tomorrow.

There was definitely room for a Win, but a few calls went against us, a lot of missed free throws, and some strong opposition (didn’t work out so well for us…)[https://m.acmomento.com/mo/o6LU8oLDsYPL6GUxrXZlnHty4h63/basketball/fdd256f6-5b83-4ca1-91aa-46e9abb5d9d5]

Finished reading: Can I Say: Living Large, Cheating Death, and Drums, Drums, Drums by Travis Barker 📚🥁🤘

10-12 years later, still a great and insightful read into a musician I’ve admired so much over the past 20+ years! Totally made me want to revisit some of Travis’ side projects

If you come at me, you’d better know that my response will be thought of and that I’ll come prepared.

Been dealing with unprofessionalism for the third or fourth time in 6 months, and this shit doesn’t fly with me!

Professional or personal, I can be loyal to a fault, but rub me the wrong way and the road to recover my trust will be extremely long.

Whole heartedly agree with all of these from my friend Naomi Accardi

FWIW [my wife] and I got married within 5 weeks after getting engaged, and our little 13-people ceremony in my village in the south of France, in the middle of February, has been a much better memory than a costly-ordeal-to-“please”-hundreds-of-people-whom-we-hadn’t-seen-or-connected-with-in-recent-years would have been.

We’re about to enter our 9th year together, and 7th year of marriage, and now have a wonderful 2yo daughter who keeps us on our toes 😆 🐣 👩‍❤️‍👨

Great game, tight, but a frustrating loss in the end.

I’m tired of losing like this by leaving too many 3pt shooters open or not defending tight enough, or trying too hard to score a tough basket.

Also Sylvain Francisco is a BALLER!

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night, live at Olympia (Paris, FR)

Fantastic time at the Clipse show last night!

Was supposed to see Pusha-T live a few years back but gig got cancelled, so extremely happy to have seen him in my hometown.

Given that Pharrell Williams is now the Creative Director at Louis Vuitton in Paris and that they recorded the album in the offices, I was low-key hoping for a Pharrell appearance. And not only did he show up, he also came on stage for the very last song!
