Thankful to The Beatles for making the guitar look cool when I was a little kid. Thankful to my parents for giving me a guitar and paying for a few lessons.
Thankful to the guitar for enriching every day of my life ever since.

I’ve read the book and it was heartbreaking. I want to see the movie but I know it will be devastating. (Also have tickets for the stage adaptation in DC next year)

If you loved the movie, try reading the book. The writing is out of this world. Truly. You feel it all in your bones, in your soul.

Is it maybe not good for someone who's fairly recently lost their spouse? Wondering.

We went out to eat afterwards, and while at the restaurant and talking about the movie, I mentioned a scene at the end and just about lost it again. Oof

Wanted to see Hamnet in the movie theater. I read how people were openly weeping leaving the theater. Opting to watch at home so I can cry in private.

Saw Hamnet today. Best film as well as the most devastating emotionally in years. Even after leaving the theater, I felt like I was going to start crying. Again.

I have no idea who else will get nominated, but I can’t fathom l a performance out there that can top Jessie Buckley’s.

Post-sunset glow under the Ocean Beach Pier during an extreme negative low tide. Ocean Beach in San Diego, California

View beneath the Ocean Beach Pier at dusk. Rows of concrete pillars form a long symmetrical tunnel that narrows toward the horizon. Soft orange light from the sunset glows on the left side, fading into deep blue sky on the right. Shallow tide pools and wet rocks reflect the colors of the sky.

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

First day back to work after surgery.
I am definitely fully recovered.
I definitely still have burnout. (This will probably be true for some years to come unless something very drastic changes for long enough.)
I will be changing some priorities so that I focus on things that lift me up.

So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.
