My flight from Atlanta to Newark to get to a funeral is officially canceled. I enjoyed my five hours in the @Delta Sky Club sampling their entire menu as my flight got delayed every hour. And yes, I had three chocolate chip cookies. All the food was delicious. Maybe see you tomorrow morning for a standby adventure. #EWR

This note in the final book from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library wrecked me last year when my daughter turned 5. Tearing up again reading it now.

The Lombards are at Yankee Stadium watching one son, George Jr., make his Major League debut. They’re following along as their other son, Jacob, makes his Minor League debut. And both sons homered tonight!

Saka not playing in the World Cup semis should become a Netflix investigative documentary. Four part series. #WorldCup

This one hurts. Jason Collins was a pioneer. He had courage like you've never seen. He was an incredible teammate. And having him in Brooklyn at the start of my coaching journey meant so much. Those who knew him were blessed to call him a friend. You are already missed my brother. Rest in power. 💔
