I'm in Bangkok getting an up-close look at Thailand's universal health system, which prioritizes essential, primary health care services. The remarkable result? A life expectancy of 79 years, which costs the government as little as $300 per person/year.

My wife and I had the great fortune to spend time with Rosalynn Carter. She was the kindest, most gracious person in public life we had the honor to meet. We send condolences and love to President Carter, and to the Carter family. Her memory is a blessing for the entire country.

i love you all.

today was a weird experience in many ways. but one unexpected one is that it has been sorta like reading your own eulogy while you’re still alive. the outpouring of love is awesome.

one takeaway: go tell your friends how great you think they are.
