That mortgage thing is pretty cool too.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Seriously. Paying off your mortgage is kickass. On top of the all-around awesomeness of Scola.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Both the link (I read the whole thing and can't quite stop crying just yet) and the fact that he was perceptive and caring enough to send it to you and also wanting to not overstep any boundaries.
Right? He's all catty and snarky standing by the jukebox sipping his vodka, but underneath that carefully distressed baseball cap is a very sweet man.
Congrats, Scola!

I don't think you'd gotten to meet this one. I know he's been in the comments of some of my status updates.

I'm not a fan of everything Michael Moore does, but this is pretty inspired. The first 1:30 is lead-in. Um... technically there's nothing NSFW in there, but you can make a judgement call from the blog article that goes with it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Wow.
That advice letter was something else. I'm just kinda sitting here with it.
It reads very, very familiarly and I'm glad to have read it.
