Veering from topics on general asset management to focus on genealogy, because my daughter wants to know. What happens to all those records and documentation once the family historian no longer exists?

WTF am I even doing here. This is one of those places, like grade school, where I became my worst autistic self. At least now I know I'm autistic. Bless that child who didn't.

I just changed my party affiliation online a few minutes ago after reading what several democrats said about Al Green. I'm no longer a Democrat. And, no, I did not go to the Pugs. Are you kidding me?

A federal judge in Maryland issued a temporary restraining order on Monday, blocking members of Elon Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency team and anyone “working on the DOGE agenda at the Department of Education” from accessing sensitive data until March 10.

I was diagnosed with my very first concussion this past Friday. Ny bones are more solid than everyone thought, obviously. Still smell/taste metal sometimes, but there's no brain bleed, no damage to the spine. Shoveled the sidewalk yestrday, so there.

Treat all of your accounts like they've been hacked. I have. It takes some time, but you're worth it.
Suggestion to Americans: If you used a current bank account with funds on a recent tax return, it may be wise to contact your bank and request a change. Account and routing numbers are accessible, and Elon Musk’s staff have access to this information. Stay safe and protect your assets.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

So much for yoga this past week. The flu is making the rounds along with strep. Obviously, it doesn't matter if you've had the flu shot, as many of the folks I know (myself included) had the shot and we still got the bug. Fighting a 103° fever might be a yogi thing...is it?

I started with 15 minutes of yoga this morning, and it felt comfortable, but I'm feeling it in my calves. It was also very amusing as my toddler grandson sat underneath me as I was downward dog, and pummeled my back when I was in child's pose. That actually felt good.

It appears a Blackhawk helicopter (unconfirmed) plowed into a passenger plane that was preparing to land at Reagan in DC. Comments are interesting.

I was studying to be a yoga instructor when my father died in 2020, interrupted my plans. Then, brain surgery in 2022. Then, my knees acted up. If it ain't one thing, it's another...but my knees are feeling solid now, and I'm going to start again with beginner lessons. I'm cautious, but hopeful!

On the fly. Cold salmon with a yogurt/ Dijon mustard/ lemon/ hot pepper/(home made) kimchi sauce combined with broccoli. Just plain old broccoli. So good. The King Cake baby is in there. Can you find it? 😎

I was diagnosed with Asperger's in 2004. My diagnosis, along with everyone else who had the Asperger's diagnosis, was changed to autism in 2013. No one today has Asperger's, including Elon. But, he would want to identify with that, clearly.
