I read too much into this kind of stuff.

by Doug LeMoine on 10 August 2010

There’s an intimacy in this that so resonates with me. I mean, it’s impossible to imagine that I wouldn’t be charmed by the subject matter alone  —  a President I greatly admire, plus two NBA players. But this moment is especially great, because I love Derrick Rose’s game and I will always appreciate that he OD’d on [...]

One bird even landed, briefly, on [...]

Flickr / Okay, I take it all back.

by Doug LeMoine on 7 May 2008
