Beyond proud of David, who with his team is having an incredibly successful week in Cannes. These people worked tirelessly to make their Field Trip to Mars a reality and are getting the recognition they deserve: 18 Cannes Lions (5 gold) and counting. Not bad for a guy who was hoping to win just one bronze.
Amazed. Excited. Forever cheering. Well done and well deserved.

You are Doppler, the neighborhood watch, iOtis, Houdini. You are a napper’s delight, a dusk drive outside city limits, a song and dance. You’re a historian and a storyteller and always down to come to the damn rescue. Hell, you are analog. Your credit card spirit animal is Amex Platinum, your literal spirit animal is a wiener dog (in a sun spot), your actual spirit is golden. You’re a Croc-star! And at the end of the day, when others rest, rest assured you are baking bread after midnight, or writing your manifesto, or fighting cyber crime, or lurking in a grocery store.
Thank you for sharing your crazy, your music, your when-I-was-your-age antics, for teaching me how to use a camera and navigate seedy bars. Thank you for enlightening me about light bulbs and the hidden joy in lyrics and the shit life will throw at me. I am grateful forever and ever.
Happy day to one of the best, most fascinating humans. Muchlove, brah. — with Matthew Bieri.
98 lbs soaking wet. So glad you pursued mom at the Piggly Wiggly. Happy Father’s Day to my dad, Dan.
Descending upon summertime North Dakota.
Oh, man. Dave took me to Beyoncé’s show at Citi Field last week and it was epic, as expected. A few adjectives: fierce, beautiful, crazy, sad, angry, and just so damn flawless.
Pie shakes and birthday cake, for no reason.
From a few days in North Dakota, and a quick camp in the Badlands — a tent along the river under the big sky, stars, buffalo, smores, snakes — and snaking through Theodore Roosevelt National Park, taking a few deep breaths through a car window thoroughly rolled down, climbing and descending, sitting and thinking, some sleep, some drinks, some mud, many wholly good moments in my heart.
