High on Crack Street: Lost Lives in Lowell.
An HBO documentary.
Dicky Eklund.
Christian Bale made this life semi-romantic and heroic.
Watch it and internalize what Hollywood can do to a character’s narrative. Powerful and sad and scary.

A Good Book
Scorecasting by Tobias J. Moscowitz and L. Jon Wertheim.
It adds to the body of analytics and what drives success in sports and why some teams win and some teams don’t.
I find these books to be a good read with great detail and stats. The thing that I am always surprised about is how these stats never take into account health, injuries, bad or wrong officiating calls and basic luck.
Random things that shape big games at times. That is the wonder of sports.
You will enjoy this book. I am.
I Agree – I Went to Bed Early
I thought the show and production were cringe-worthy last night.
I didn’t get it. I must NOT be in the demo they wanted to serve last night.
I am in the middle.
Not too old – not too young.
I didn’t get it.
Read this one from indieWIRE. It is right on the money!
Best moment of the night: Christian Bale pimping Dicky Eklund’s website to a billion people.

“The Art of Selling”
This is a good article. It brought back a lot of memories, sad and happy ones indeed.
We aren’t sellers now.
And although we are buyers, the sellers all want our young prospects and picks in return. They want to work the phones the way we worked the phones so long ago.
This should be an interesting day. Wish George and staff the best of luck.
