A day at the beach with the new MLK bio by @jonathaneig. I’m 300 pages in, enjoying it immensely. #KING

We’re on the red carpet last night with Corporate Bro, the artist formerly known as Our Eldest. Ross lit up the big screen in SF with SALES ARE DOPE, his 8-episode Season 1. Check it out on YouTube.

As I researched my book Their Life’s Work about the 1970s @steelers, former teammates needed to know if I’d yet interviewed #FrancoHarris. Once I had, they agreed to talk to me. Franco was that respected, that loved. Classy, wonderful guy. #MrPittsburgh.

My first book, published more than a quarter century ago, lives deep within me still. #Atlanta.
Listen to @garympomerantz’s #WherePeachtreeMeetsSweetAuburn, an intricately researched history of Atlanta, Georgia as told through two families—the Allens, descended from slave-owners & the Dobbses, descended from enslaved people. CC: @ScribnerBooks

Dear Professor @jmwooldridge, It’s true that, for our coed team, I chose the name — The Smiths. Don’t forget, I also chose our second basewoman, now my bride of 37 1/2 years.
Given the sad news, it's unsurprising "The Smiths" is trending. For the record, my softball team at Cal in 1981 was called The Smiths -- after the landlord of the apartment building most of us occupied. Pretty sure @garympomerantz chose the name. The Smiths band formed in 1982.

Looking forward to participating in this Nov 15 event at @Stanford. Has it really been 40 years since The Play? 40 yrs since the trombonist @GaryTyrrell got pancaked? 40 yrs since the fake @dailycal filled the Sproul racks? Thanks to @tegbridges new book, there is much to discuss.
40 years? Yes, 40 years! Attend in person, or virtually, and re-live the glory and pain of the 85th Big Game, with @FarmHistory, @tegbridges, @garympomerantz, and an all-star panel. Tuesday, November 15, 2022, 4:30 PM PST

Such a joy to spend time on Fri with staffers at my alma mater, the @dailycal. The Daily Cal has existed since US Grant was president. With this energetic bunch, it’s in good hands. @UCBerkeley @RaineyTime.
day one of the first @dailycal boot camp went swimmingly! thank you to @jpanzar, @txtianmiller, @garympomerantz and @publiceditor for speaking and sharing so much with our staffers (and thank you @ChrisYingg for being a wonderful computer stand)

We just passed the 60th anny of the Dipper’s 100 pts vs the @nyknicks. On the eve of the @NBA Finals, it’s worth noting Wilt’s 100 belongs to the @warriors franchise (though while in @Philadelphia). #WILT1962 was a joy to research.
"Wilt, 1962" by @garympomerantz is the best sports book I've read this year. It's a tremendously engaging narrative about the complex figure of Wilt Chamberlain and the night he scored 100 points in Hershey, Pennsylvania. I loved it.

Talking about Wilt’s 100 on @670TheScore with @LaurenceWHolmes in #Chicago. As an interviewer, Laurence is the real deal. He cares about people & about history, a potent combo. A quintessential good guy.
It was a real pleasure to talk about the significance of Wilt Chamberlain with @garympomerantz. Incredible interview that you need to hear: .
