“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.” #RIPJesseJackson

Finished this last night. Very insightful, gave a ton of depth and gave a good look behind the scenes at some of the biggest crisis of the 1960s. If you're a history buff and want to understand some of the pretext of some of today's conflicts, this is a must read.

Happy New Year to all! With the calendar, the swim-o-meter resets to zero. 2025, I swam 230 miles. Well short of my goal of 250. Raised $1700 for the Huntsman Cancer Institute. Look forward to making a splash next year!

Today Time Magazine named the Architects of Artificial Intelligence as the People of the Year. Here is a recently published photo of the people who worked as a team to restore historic Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris. While AI can do many tasks, it can’t and won’t do everything.

Good morning and it’s Election Day in these parts! Please get out and vote. If you live in Prosper, there are important bond measures that we need passed. Our town is growing and we need the roads and facilities!
