It occurred to me, in conversations with my therapist, that I’m still thinking like a nomadic grad student.
Can you blame me? It was 10+ years of my life. I think it’s time I shake that off.

By happenstance, or the universe, I was able to witness the Buddhist monks walk their final stretch down Crystal Drive in Arlington, VA toward their destination, Washington, D.C.
They began in Fort Worth with “a simple message about blocking out the noise of a messy world and finding tranquility.”

Amazon suggests I use their online service.
I *want* to inspect the produce.
I *want* to select items that won’t immediately expire.
Amazon is likely moving to dynamic pricing (AKA surge, demand, time-based, variable pricing) to get more money out of consumers.
Never shop for groceries online.

Don’t Let Them Pretend This Didn’t Happen
The violence at the Capitol was incited, encouraged, and condoned by the president of the United States. Don’t forget it.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.
