Vacationing

A quick one this week while we travel

Paying homage at the Dale Earnhardt statue in Kannapolis, NC

Alix and I are on a barnstorming tour of North Carolina minor league ballparks … as I write this we’ve been to three games and seen: a walk-off extra-inning win, a home run that must have gone 500 feet, and a guy who caught a foul ball with his beer. Then drank the beer with the ball in it. Baseball is the greatest.

I’ll be back next week with a full newsletter … in the meantime, if you have any ballpark memories to share, drop them in the comments. And now, a reminder to BUY MY BOOK, which (very small spoiler) has a couple of baseball players in it:

DOGLAND is now available for preorder! You can get to many of the major bookseller sites through the Simon & Schuster page. I also have a deal through my favorite bookstore, Park Road Books in Charlotte—if you preorder DOGLAND through them, I’ll sign and inscribe your copy (or copies!) however you like. Jump on that deal here:

Thanks so much, y’all. See you next week.
