Even if nobody asked…..
1. I fondly anticipate celebrating a 25th wedding anniversary with my wife this September. Where would you suggest we go for a week-long getaway? Be specific. Ready, set, go?
2. “Work can convince you that you are working hard for your family and friends while you are being seduced through ambition to NEGLECT them.” (HT Timothy Keller)
3. Am I the only one that confuses Roseanne Barr and Rosie O’Donnell (until they start speaking of course.)
4. Isn’t it odd that Cain (of the Bible) is maybe the best-known name in the whole world and yet the only man of that name to have ever existed (as far as anyone can figure.)?
5. Asking your kid how they’re doing is their cue to avoid talking, so ask them how their FRIENDS are doing. They’ll talk up a storm and in doing so tell you how THEY’RE doing.
6. It seems to me that a lot of decent (?) authors are writing TV screenplays, releasing them in book form first, then producing a TV series out of them. I do not consider this literary progress. My favorite response when someone refers a series like this is to say, “Oh thanks, that’s actually offensive but I appreciate you keeping me down to just one version of that slop now.”
7. Nikola Jokić is the current-day basketball version of baseballs Babe Ruth. Neither look like they belong, and both dominate the game and your attention whenever you see them.
8. Tolerance is not a virtue found anywhere in God’s word. Just saying.
9. My brother Daniel Harrington is in the 2nd year of his one-man performance of The Larchmont. It is breathtaking. All the talent I spoke of in a tribute to my brother earlier this week are observed by a journalist here https://tinyurl.com/3kae8jzr This is a MUST for everyone but particularly for everyone. Do not miss it. Others who read EINA each Saturday please post your testimony on Danny’s show.
10. Walked by a nurse at a hospital last week and she puts out her hand, stops me and says, “Hey, I know you. I was your nurse overnight on February 2nd and 3rd in room 407.” I was stunned. Dates and room number, wow! #NurseSuperrpower
Thanks for putting up with all my words this week…..you rock.
