But pizza boxes, really?

I am over here wondering about having such a link handy😆
I was working at the Philadelphia newspaper back when this happened, and I lived near his Rittenhouse Square apartment at one time. It’s one of those impossibly bizarre things that unfortunately sticks in your head.

FWIW, there was never any mention that he was a pipe smoker, in the common, pedestrian usage of that term, but it does make you ponder your purchase of “estate” pipes.

I love not checking this thread during work hours and coming home, ignoring my wife, kids, and guests, and looking at this thread.

Things are sizzling in the kitchen - my wife is making some super nachos with some sirloin we had on hand - I've had to tell her multiple times, "I'm nacho Santa." Can't have divided loyalties, and two boxes showed up from Laudisi today ("Are those your pipe guys?") . . . but I did grab another gift for her this morning, not being as stupid as I may appear.
