Jerry Seinfeld: “The Scholar of Comedy”

Posted on by

Excellent interview in The New Yorker by David Remnick. Not sure if the piece is behind a paywall or not but it’s a good read.

“That’s the way you go through life. You only care about laughing and being funny.”

“And I don’t like old people, either. Even though I’m seventy—I don’t like old people. […] They don’t look good. Everything’s going. Everything’s deteriorating. I don’t want to see this. If you want to hang around, fine, but we’re moving on to younger people. I’m with you up to about thirty-eight. If you want to stay, you can stay, but I’m moving on.”

“There were no sitcoms picked up on the fall season of all four networks. Not one. No new sitcoms.”

Bittersweet Garden Party

Barb is very active in the local garden club and today they held a fund-raising event that seemed like a good place to try out my new DJI Osmo Pocket 3 camera. The camera has more features than I can count and they’re all good ones but I’ve had trouble getting started. Today I just turned the camera on started recording. I’ll talk more about the features as I use and understand them.

Clues that you are rich

A lot of rich people don’t even realize they’re rich. Here are some clues:

  • You are worried about someone hijacking your car when you drive downtown.
  • You can afford things you actually need, like healthcare.
  • You don’t use a calculator while grocery shopping, and you don’t use the produce scales in grocery stores.
  • You spend money on traveling for leisure.
  • You never worry about hidden, snowballing fees or “poor tax”.
  • You never have to hustle to work out where you will sleep or where your next meal comes from.
  • You can invest in something that pays off later or just simply stock up because buying more is cheaper.
  • You don’t hold up the line with your complicated benefits when checking out in the grocery store line.
  • You don’t have to worry about logistics, like how you will show up to appointments on opposite sides of the city in one day.
  • You shop online.
  • You don’t have to worry about your kid’s tech access for school.
  • Bureaucratic procedures, such as getting a driver’s license, are not prohibitively impossible.
