Notes from the Post-it Wall | Week of June 6, 2021

By David Himmel

• I’ve introduced my 3-year-old son to Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. Therefore, I have earned that World’s Greatest Dad coffee mug.

• The promos for In The Heights make The Partridge Family look like Black Sabbath.

• Speaking of The Partridge Family, Danny Bonaduce still owes me thirty bucks for Red Bulls. (Story to follow.)

• I struggle to part ways with even the worst of memories. That’s probably because the worst memories are only top-ranked because they’re so closely associated with the best of memories.

• A question for those of us who hate American Capitalism: Would you rather hear the glorious tones of a child’s laugh or find ten bucks on the street? Yeah. That’s what I thought. And that’s why we’re fucked.

• Skin cancer is not a good injury. Slicing your foot open on a sailboat is.
