The footnotes are always my favorites, thank god your dad came to his senses about the Red Sox (whom even my grandma cheered for), and I totally got the Cooper Flagg paragraph because Duke.
The footnotes are the best part! And I love the explanatory power of the contronym. It's exactly right. (Also, I had to read the whole thing on LITs before coming back to comment, and it was delightful.)
Apparently I am doing your drinking for you these days--and then some. Drinking in Spain is very fun.
I would be honored and delighted to not-drink with you any time and place we are in the same place at the same time.
So many good mocktails…I’m in!
This was fantastic. I'm glad you sat on it until it felt right. And the footnotes were winning (they always are).
Thanks!
Such a brilliant piece. I'm glad you finally wrote it and cleave is exactly the right word! And I didn't know about contronyms!
Thanks!

Of course! The Globe has been obsessed with him since he was 14…Great White Hope and all…

I do get jealous…
Bummer about the stomach and drinking. We are a non drinking family at the moment.
I absolutely love this post. Thank you for writing. I did not read all the foot notes. I never read footnotes- except
About stomachs and drinking.
The footnotes are the best parts!
So good, Becca. Both the analysis of the complications of being a Jew today and how to save money with a LI Iced Tea.
Thank you, you are absolutely one of the people I’m writing for here (along with everyone…)
