I just wanted to share that my debut book "Nothing Becomes" is now available in paperback as well as ebook format.

It's a book that explores the convergence of Eastern traditions and modern physics through a personal lens, exploring the threshold between what we know and what is.

Absolutely! If you're not fighting for something, what's the point? Even in the midst of the bad, there's so many great things to enjoy and share.

I don't play favorites with my kids, but here's my favorite cat for everyone. This lovely chonky girl definitely brings me joy. 😊

Sharing this picture since you can't see any faces, and it gives a very good sampling of the size of the crowd. Based on AI assistance, and witness accounts of crowd density, a more accurate number at the protest would be in the 5,500 to 6,000 range.

So, here's the chart. Enjoy. :)
I've run this through some AI checks against CBO scoring, and this should easily cover the costs of extending Medicare to each age group listed in the chart, ending up with Medicare for All in year 6.

I have had sinus issues my entire life, and my sense of smell was not good. Then COVID hit me...five times. I ask my wife all the time now whether something is good or not, and she says, "smell it". I just give her the Jim Office stare. :))

This quote is what's not just getting me through, but making me embrace the situation. We all have a unique opportunity to shine a light in a world filling with darkness, and our laughter is part of the fuel to light that beacon.
