    Party like it’s 1999

    If you’re not on the Knicks bandwagon by now… it’s time. The beloved team of my youth has been on some kind of a hot streak recently, seemingly winning each of its games by about 30 points. They’ve coasted to … Continue reading →

    My favorite government program

    Posted on May 29, 2026 by moc
    Reply

    There’s a delicious irony, poking fun at pretty much everything the government does, all the while going to national parks and military band concerts. Or both, like seeing The President’s Own at Wolf Trap as my son and I did … Continue reading →

    I’m the movie-on-a-particular-day guy (I wrote the book on it), so I’ve got to point out when there’s a really good one. The final day of school at Lee High School in the movie Dazed and Confused is May 28, 1976. … Continue reading →

    The short version

    This weekend I attended a wedding not too far from my hometown, seeing some people I hadn’t seen in quite a number of years. They needed an update. Explaining my current life is easy enough, though explaining how I got … Continue reading →

    No matter how old I am, every once in a while I have to go to the zoo. And I did. Last Saturday. Check out today’s episode of Math and Musings to hear more. Enjoy. … Continue reading →

    I never gave up

    Reply

    The New York Knicks pulled off one of the greatest comebacks I’ve ever seen last night, something akin to the Vineland Thorns beating the Magma for the roarball Claw. (Sorry, I watched Goat this weekend too and have such on the … Continue reading →

    Snacking Seinfeld-style

    Posted on May 18, 2026 by moc
    Reply

    The last few months I’ve been rewatching every episode of Seinfeld, in order, as they appeared on this thing called “TV” last century. Of all the self-imposed goals I’ve made for myself in life, this has probably been one of the … Continue reading →

    All things American on the pod

    Today on Math and Musings my son and I discuss our recent trip to National Harbor, Maryland. It was a celebration of all things American, from merry-go-rounds and band concerts to that most American of eating establishments… Johnny Rockets. Enjoy. … Continue reading →

    Reply

    I’ve done the bit for years… President’s Day, Presidents’ Day, Washington-Lincoln Day… you get the idea. It’s funny because everyone is right and everyone is wrong all at the same time. I usually go with “Presidents’ Day,” although my own … Continue reading →

    Teams of my youth are dominating

    Posted on May 11, 2026 by moc
    Reply

    If the Knicks keep winning games by 30 points or more I’m going to feel good going into the next… actually, no, I’m just going to feel good, like, about life, and the universe and everything. Someone go back and tell 12-year-old Mike … Continue reading →
