Baller moves, Whitey.

You know it, Lendog.

I am performing right now at a level that goes beyond anything I ever thought I’d get to from my days using. It’s nice to have a bright spot amongst a sea of shit.

In what specifically have you seen an improvement?

Just finished playing what may very well be my last ever hoops game tonight. Had a wide open 3 at the end that I clanged so bad. Lost by 10 in the GF too. Damn.

At 52 I don't need to be playing full games anymore, and that's how it's been the past season because of dramas getting regular players. Same again tonight and I am fucking sore man.

It's been a good run, managed to not seriously injure myself, so there's that. Fuck me do I wish I could get a do over on that final 3 though.

Annual kick of to the holidays with a Scotch tasting tonight. You have to bring a better than average bottle in order to get an invite to this get together. Last year I got schnockered on Macallan 18. How many people can say that?

It was fun leading up to the condition, but death lingered over me for days afterwards.

Keep the faith, Whitey. You got this. Life is beautiful if you get on the goody two shoes train.

Hitting all the right notes, and connecting with the audience. I push myself to my maximum potential, something I’m able to achieve being sober.

[Higgs]

What do you do Whitey, if you don't mind me asking?

[Whitey McTeeth]

Rock and a rolling and singing my tunes.

[Higgs]

Living the dream. Nice.

I have so much respect for people with artistic talent for I have none.

Keep on rockin' in the free world.

[wease]

Good lord, why is she doing this?

[doug rr]

she seems to like it..I took ice baths in college and thought I would die

[pepperwhiteMFC]

Scotch tasting worked out without incident. The Tomatin would have been the devil for me had I not gone into it with a sustainable plan for moderate tasting.

[bodysnatcher]

Probably be working til 6 again of course. Glad I don’t have any thanksgiving responsibilities or children, this job would never allow me to be a good friend or father.

doug, does your wife listen to Andrew Huberman?

[spike]

Good lord, why is she doing this?

Cold plunging is a thing. Some claim it’s done wonders for their anxiety and also inflammation.

There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.
