Had a great day at the @yankees game with Ryan and Grandma for Star Wars day and Max Fried Mandalorian bobblehead day. That “chicken bucket” was stellar!

The viral “Mini Dessert Chicken Bucket” at Yankee Stadium is a 2026 concession hit, featuring drumstick-shaped vanilla ice cream coated in caramelized white chocolate and candied cornflakes with a chocolate-covered pretzel “bone”. Served in a souvenir bucket.
Jack swam his first Long Branch Ocean Mile Swim this morning with a few of his swim buddies. We are so proud of him. He finished with a time of 26:33. 4th place for Male 0-14 and 26th out of 238 swimmers of all ages.
All week Ryan was asking if we could go to THE tree. We decided today to do it… on December 23rd. 😂🎄 It really was a magical evening (minus the 2hr drive in. Normally it should only take about 45mins to an hour). We saw the tree @rockefellercenter , went to @nintendonyc , I had a couple excellent beers @otherhalfrockcenter , we found JACK DEMPSEY CORNER!!! We just stumbled upon that! Jack had a @benandjerrys Oreo milkshake and I had a bangin Taco Vegetariano from @puyatacos . And of course @donnajunedempsey and Ryan had to get a street pretzel. The Lego Store and FAO had long lines. Great evening all around. Thanks to Ryan for being so jolly and wanting to go. The drive home was less than an hour. Happy Holidays everyone. 🎅🏻 🎄 🎁
ANTISCHISM appreciation post.
Antischism was a band from South Carolina that was VERY influential to myself and Chris @booyaa803 .
Liz and Scott would come to our high school band (Strait Up) practices and we would go to their house on Rosewood Dr. and hang out.
They were the first vegetarians I knew and very influential to myself and Chris being vegetarian.
Not sure if they know how much they truly inspired us. A female punk singer, which wasn’t seen that much back then fully going off was so cool, Scott too singing like he did while playing the drums like he did. Kevin with that red Marshall half stack and Matt killing the bass as heard in this cover.
Thank you Chris Bickel for putting out their early music and @jaymatheson for recording it. My friend Chris Harris and I were at this live recording at Huger St. Sounds soooo good.
Anyway they are not on Spotify but you can find their discography on YouTube.
Thanks Liz, Scott, Kevin, Matt as well as Chris and Jay.
