I had the most realistic dream of my life. My dad convinced me to travel to Japan in his place for his new business venture.
I woke up, actually logged into my Delta account and started looking for flights before I realized it was a dream any my dad died 4 years ago.
How surreal.

Many people with "non-white sounding" names are reporting getting targeted cold calls wanting to buy their homes.
People with "white sounding" names have not reported receiving such calls.
Maybe it's just predators trying to capitalize on current political environment, but it is still disturbing.

Got a call while driving. They want to buy my house. What's my asking price?
After 15 mins explaining how much I want to sell, I say I want $10M.
Caller: That's ridiculous.
Me: My wife has forbidden me to say FU to scam callers. Did I get the message across without it?
Caller: FU. Hangs up.

Wife: Your injury was serious, but I didn't expect it'd turn you religious.
Me: It hasn't. Why?
Her: You just asked your friend to pray for you.
Me: She's religious. She wants to help. Asking her to pray makes her feel like she's helping.
Even in your own distress, try and people where they are.

Me: How can you support a convicted felon?
MAGA: I am a Christian before all else and follow only those who are Christ like. Jesus was a convicted felon. That's why I am compelled by my Christian faith to follow and support Trump.

She performed this in 2015 with the Chez Army band to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of WW2.

At 16, Patricia Janečková delivers the best rendition of Mozart's popular Laudate Dominum.

Went with wife to her Dr appointment. Lots of back & forth on next step.
Eventually the Dr said: Your real concern is that if you wait a year before seeing a specialist, you won't be told "If only you had come in a year ago, your outcome could have been so much better"
A doctor who really listens👍

Looking to 2026, I was excited about new projects and incredibly concerned about the work required.
New Year's day, a moment of inattention led to a serious injury to my right arm. Unknown if I'm sidelined for 2 weeks, or many months.
Never take your health for granted. It can turn in an instant.

Talked with a Republican passionate about Healthcare. He hates ACA.
After much research, he had developed a detailed plan that he believed would work. I agree💯 that it would.
The irony; it was pretty much the ACA as originally proposed before the Republicans gutted it.
What we could have had!

After 20 years of marriage, why do I still retain the single guy instinct that the goal of laundry is to wash everything except the clothes on your body.
That the holy grail is to strip in front of the washer and walk naked to the shower, so everything is either washed or washing.

Early 20s F, kept messing up my food order complaining she couldn't hear me. Created quite a scene, slowed down the line, got everyone's attention.
Handing me my food, said if I would not wear a mask, things would go better

From a conversation with a GOP insider about yesterday:
In 2024, people were sick of the economy. Many felt others were doing well, not them. They saw Biden as sincere/caring, but ineffective. They did not see things getting better for them.
Many took a chance on Trump because it was a change.

In Salt Lake City for a few days.
I remember my first trip here exactly 4 years ago. I didn't like it & was so utterly miserable.
So much has changed since then -- all for the worse. Those were the good days and I'd give anything to have them back.
Appreciate today; it's tomorrow's good old days.
