Careful what you wish for. After going into 5th gear, out of pure frustration about project delays (with our home reno contractor), they have their A-team crew here all day. No escape from the noise and disruption on our Saturday. Progress at a cost. lol.

Today's trending issues have led me to diagnose the US with an acute, persistent vertigo. If the room is spinning and our foundations are gone (replaced by shifting sands of partial truths) oh how heavy the price our children/grands will pay. Believe no one who disagrees?

I will have the new drink invented by RG: A Diet Pepsi/ or Coke plus rum. Cuba Inebree-ay please!

OK America, land that I love. You are really starting to scare me now. Please tell me a lot of what I am reading today is satire. Waiting patiently for the "Just kidding" punchline.... still waiting...

You cannot gaslight me after 6 years of this ridiculousness. "Under Oath" is the only standard I believe in anymore.

I am skeptical in many ways, and therefore not prone to conspiracy theories. However, no matter our politics, I am wondering if the SCOTUS plan is designed to destabilize all the underpinnings of the country. They say election laws are next. To what end though?

I stay out of the political fray. Part of making things better is pointing out wrong, ignorant thinking. As a Christian and an adoptive parent I am disgusted by MTG referring to us a "fake Mom and Dad". This is not of God. He knits together families!! x.com/i/status/15482…

Wednesday wisdom: You are never too experienced or too much of an "expert" to be humbled. ABL-Always Be Learning. Embrace the pain of being wrong and learn from it.

First conference in 3 years. Canadian govt selects me for random Covid testing an hour after I land. Must test by next day. Went into scramble mode and tested. Then I waited 2.5 days for result. Tested negative! Can go home in the morning. Can you say #stressful ?

Is Apple trying to tell me something by quadrupling the size of the time of day displayed on the idle screen, with ios version 16.0? Or did people ask for it? lol

Quote of the day from my wife: it turns out the baddest Alpha male in DC is Liz Cheney.

I am a student of demographics and its impacts on our society. If you are not looking closely at Gen Z (and how they think and act) in politics and in business you are going to pay the price. They are not like Millennials or any other group.

I just did my part today to spread good will in a world gone literally mad. I was getting help from our HR support area. When I told the woman they have great hold music (Jazz) she was so shocked she did not know what to say at first. Well....thanks she said. :) Pass it on.

To the perfectionists: There really is hope. I cannot give you a date when I overcame it, like a light switch. But I just knew it. Think of the line that "..there is no paradise on earth." We just do our best and TRULY Accept the outcomes. youtube.com/watch?v=OfGM4l…

In what is maybe a feeble attempt at humor (though it made me chuckle) Pence is trending ahead of the Iron Sheik on Twitter , but just barely, For all of us who grew up with Pro wrestling on TV you know who that is. :)

Had an emotional response hearing just now that 2 American hostages have been released in Gaza, by Hamas. A Mother and daughter. Cannot imagine how the family will feel when the people are identified.

Great news for Egypt, who so heavily depends on tourism. Been there twice and felt safe there. Factor in the cost for English speaking guides and you are good to go.

Think about everything we could learn from a teacher who visited 193 nations! #peoplearejustpeople
