I’m conflicted in how I feel about Pres. Trump meeting with Al-Sharaa.
22 years ago he’s blowing up Americans in the Sunni Triangle.
But he overthrew Bashar.
Maybe this is one of those moments like GIs visiting Hanoi in the 90s.
Maybe I’m glad I’m out of the game, and just a “fan.”

Today I got a haircut from a man who’s been cutting hair for 50+ years at the same unit he bought in downtown Chicago (Civic Opera House) since 1973. Managed to give me the best haircut (as per the better half) in 5+ years.
These are the ceilings in the elevators for your enjoyment.

I had ChatGPT generate me a headshot if I was a 1980s Wall Street trader. Definitely October 19th vibes (fitting for today).
My wife (fucking love this woman): “Man, they did you a solid with that hairline!” 😂
