That's fascinating as well. 2nd or 12th excuse me, a great quote from author James Clear. He says at some point you have to learn to let go. There's an endless list of obligations, expectations, desires and ambitions and worries and fears will always be ready to instead of themselves. At some point you have to let them go. There's never going to be enough. 13th My favorite tweet I saw yesterday was this Tracy, Travis Kelsey and Taylor Swift got engaged. The best tweet I saw said it's going to be strange to see the Swift name on the back of a chief's jersey. Poking fun. A little bit of Travis Kelsey. 14th from Blake Burge on Twitter Underrated life advice Be easy to deal with. Be kind when others can't. Reliable under pressure.

I do care that RFK is in office still. At the end of the day, I do think he's a bit of an imbecile. Imbecile and so forth. I love smarter people running health care in our country.
