Awesome Long Weekend Randoms:
-Friday started with a last minute visit from my brother Alex Baldwin, my dad's son, who I just learned about a few weeks ago. Cool kid. He brought along his new Titans Cheerleader g/f -- and we proceeded to get absolutely SMASHED. Blacked out, passed out naked, did all sorts of interesting things I learned about next day via cell phone videos. Maybe top 5 drunk of all time, honestly have no clue how it even happened....those random nights where you had no plans to even drink AT ALL typically end up being the most obnoxious.
-Hungover loser all day Saturday.
-Golf & grilling on Saturday. 77, followed by some Pulled Pork, Smoked Potato Salad, corn...dinner on the front porch with a cooler, perfect home night.
-Monday -- Had a big 12 man money game lined up...pulled up to Club in the middle of a pouring rainstorm. We drank a few beers, before finally deciding to "screw it", gear up, and head out for a 6some with the people that actually showed. Was dreading it, but it ended up being one of the more fun rounds I can remember, had the entire course to ourself. 5:30 round in a constant rain, playing 6 man wolf. Of course, shot a 74 out of nowhere in terrible conditions, which included driving the 320 yard par 4 17th, and draining the 75 foot eagle putt for about $60. Most fun hole I've maybe ever had after my Hole in One. Golf game is on fleek right now, have added a legit 20+ yards after a few lessons, feel like Pope out there. Would have been at/under par both rounds if I had done *anything* on/around the greens..which is the opposite of my usual game. #golf
...capped off the weekend with an Aged Strip Steak & Gnocchi on the egg, w/ a Bulleit on the rocks.
-Finished 'Bloodline' on Saturday. That show is touching awesome...if it's not 'on deck' for you, that's too bad. Kyle Chandler is his normal awesome self, but Ben Mendelsohn's character (Danny) is just incredible. With respect to Draper & other worthy people, if he doesn't win an emmy it will be a crime, imo. His awkwardness/creepiness as a villian, with a rare ability to also make you feel sympathy for him is just brilliant.
-Anyone else Gambol in NBA playoffs? I've picked my spots, and am 11-12 on games vs. the spread this postseason. Example: Last night Houston +4.5 -- now way Harden & company were going out at home on a sweep.
-Anyone checked out Periscope? That thing has some pretty great adult fun possibilities.
