Quoting . . .

My boy Dave in Cincinnati wrote to me yesterday that he came across a note in Sunday's Cincinnati Enquirer.

"Hey Wise, just wanted to tell you again that I love your blog. I check it out about 20 times a day, and I'm thinking about sending you money for all the times you've made me laugh. You really are an outstanding writer. And I've always thought you were quite handome. No wonder all those Brazilian supermodels are all over you."

OK, he didn't write any of that, but here's a portion of what he did write:

"Eric Lange, a 1991 Fairfield High School graduate, appears on "Entourage" today (10 p.m., HBO) as the director of "The Young and the Restless."

Apparently, Dave knew this cat from the neighborhood back in the day. Here's what he said about him:

"...but I knew him as the somewhat-spoiled (but generally nice) only child whose mother bought him a giant piece of extra-slippery linoleum so he could practice break dancing in his front yard."

Extra-slippery linoleum. It's the only way to go if you're a serious break-dancer. I've said it a million times.

And on the phone with a tipsy Jason last night at about 9:30 p.m.

Me: "Have you been drinking all day, dude?"

Jason: "No, just since I got home from work at 3."
