Veteran, lived all over the world. Wouldn’t mind seeing most of it again.
These two quotes have been on my mind the last week as I traveled to Chicago and back. I don’t know why, but I thought I’d share them with y’all.

"Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase." - MLK

“Be the change you want to see in the world.” - Mahatma Gandhi

Wow…a retired 3-star who’d just started a career in venture capital is going to be put on active duty, awarded a fourth star, and become the CJCS. Okie dokie.

Thank you for your service, CQ. My best wishes to you and your family in the future.

When I saw this online this morning, I thought “no way that’s real.” So I checked and yeah, it’s real.

I’m old enough to remember when the right said they wouldn’t legislate our bedrooms though.

The Germans tried that in the 1930s and 1940s under a different party name with a likeminded ideology. It was not a good decision then, and wouldn’t be a good decision now.

Thinking about my mom a lot today. It would’ve been her and dad’s 48th anniversary if she was still with us.
Thankful to have been around for 44 of their anniversaries, and missing her everyday.
