RIP Michael Crawford. Very sad to say goodbye to Michael Crawford, who passed away yesterday at the age of 75. I first met Michael in 2008 on the New Yorker softball team. He, his wife, Carolita, and I all had matching Fjallraven kanken backpacks in different colors. His was bright blue, and I can't remember what mine was at the time—I've had a few. Mind you, this was before the Fjallraven craze, before the Soho store(s!), before you could buy these backpacks at J Crew. You had to get them in Europe! So the three of us were instantly bonded by our ahead-of-the-trend fashion choices. Anyway, Michael and Carolita were my first friends on the team, and brought much warmth and cheer to the games. Two years ago, they had me over to their beautiful apartment in Inwood, which you can see in pictures from this New York Times article, for spaghetti, and I got to see Michael's bright, beautiful, joyful paintings. I'm gonna miss this guy a lot.

Michael Crawford. I'm heartbroken to learn that one of my favorite New Yorker cartoonists is losing the battle to cancer. He was the first person to be nice to me when I joined the new yorker softball team as an intern back in 2009, and when he learned that I was going to be spending the summer in cape cod, he gave me a watercolor set and told me I had to paint while I was there. He's raising money in order to live out his last days at home. If you can help, help.

If you're willing to wait, the soup is always better on the second day. Another ace in the hole from @Drew Dernavich. It's so true about soup! Check out the *THE MILQ Q+A: DREW DERNAVICH

"It says the cost of the flight went up because we acknowledged its existence.". From this week's issue. Ha, yes, buying flights are the worst! Also, "who farted?" totally works here in a simple and sweet domestic way, like they're so close they don't even know if they farted or if it was their partner, just a casual convo while surfing the web.

Rap Wizard. I think "deciphering rap lyrics" is a euphemism for farting.

"I feel like my best passwords are already behind me.". This one's funny cuz it's true. "Who farted?" doesn't make sense here, but I'm still laughing anyway. It does always work!
