This is such a great book! Even if you're not a baseball fan, it's just such great concept and so well told.
In Case You Missed It: We've hit ten years since The Wax Pack road trip (ten years!) and five since its release, and I think it still holds up! It's the story of my 11,341-mile road trip to track down all the players in a single pack of 1986 Topps.

@focusfronting My buddy calls this âpodcast brain.â A certain type of under-35 year old man with a white collar job listens to three or four podcast on a given topic and thinks he has mastered all the relevant knowledge.

This and also teaching.
Sometimes I feel bad because academics on here spend a lot of time talking about how much they hate writing and research but I love them? I think they are the best part of the job? Why would you do it if you didnât like those things, which are the main things?

@jacksettleman Ok, maybe not 100 for the super bowl. But at like 500 I'm cashing the check. I can generate way more joy for my kids with $500 than any amount of sports can generate for me.
