I saw the Dalai Lama walk into a press conference in a hotel in Denver. While he was talking I tripped and fell against a big window he was facing. He stopped talking, smiled and waved at me.

Awesome! We’re litter-mates! I hit 30 in January. Just before I got sober I saw the Dead at their last concert at RFK Stadium in DC with Jerry Garcia. A year later he was dead and I had gotten sober.

A shame, especially as the previous incumbent was kind and competent.
One thing: the Acting Chief of Staff (Julia) is a former co-worker and one of the best people at FEMA. She’s had the tough job of announcing a lot of this, as well as doing the hard work.

“Il dolce far niente“ is a way of life in Italian: the sweetness of doing nothing.

I went from Zombies, Run! to “Cardio Quest”. The game mechanics are different, more like DnD, but very enjoyable:

Best of luck. The work will have to happen one way or another, so our talent will end up being useful!

I didn’t take the fork… didn’t trust it to maintain my pension. I was old enough to do a regular retirement, and the return-to-office looked like it would impact my remote contract. I’m looking for AI/ML/DS work myself now.

A strange collaboration I love is Robert Fripp and The Roches, the 70s vocal sisters group that did the “Hallelujah Chorus” for SNL. Fripp collaborated with them on their album “Keep on Doing”. It really holds up

I love “Starless and Bible Black”. I listened to it when it first came out in the ‘70s. Robert Fripp is a genius guitar player. And you’re right, it’s Prog Rock. Lots of great Prog (Yes is another great Prog group)
