CHEX Mix Rules, Civil War, Parker Van Halen is Spoiled, Smallness of Your Size

Monday morning, how the heck are you!  According to my OURA ring, I am in great shape, good restfulness score, good sleep score, and I’m moving more than I need to.  It’s the start of a holiday week; I hope you can wind down and enjoy some time with those you love.

We had a great day yesterday; the kids hung out in the morning before heading home.  We cleaned up the house a bit, showered, and then headed up to have dinner with my mother and father.  Our daughter and her husband joined us; we had a small Christmas, it was perfect!  One of my favorite gifts of the year is my daughter’s homemade CHEX mix; she knows how I like it; it’s tradition.

I think the CHEX mix is sacred, and one should not put other things like pretzels and cheese in the mix.  CHEX mix is simply three types of cereal, and that’s it, don’t mess up one of God’s greatest gifts.  While watching our new show 1833, I tasted said CHEX mix, and it is a home run; thank you, Sis!

We got to bed about 9:30, was dead asleep by 10:00, and I woke up one time about 2:34 to check the time glowing above my head.  My friends Josh and Paula bought me a clock that shoots the time on your ceiling, so you never have to pick up your phone.  It’s a projection clock, and I bought a few for the family; it’s a great gift and excellent addition to any bedroom.

It’s 7:00 a.m., the coffee is made, my wife is in bed with our pup, I’ve got a 10:00 a.m. appointment, coaching call at noon, lunch with a friend and then a drink with a buddy, a decent day and cousin arrive today to spend some holiday time with us so it should be a great week!

Let’s take a peek at the “smart” news app and see what’s happening in our world.  First, it shares that our country is on the brink of a “civil war.” If we are going to war, we should do so with some civility and class; I don’t think anyone wants to participate in a rude war. 

Next up, Senator Warren, who was critical of Elon Musk for making stuff last week, has come down with COVID.  I wish her a speedy recovery; COVID can be dastardly no one should have to suffer.  Maybe she should call Joe Rogan?

Moderna flaunts that its version of the vaccine is better equipment for the Omicron strain, as a reminder Alec Baldwin has killed more people than Omicron.  I’m a Pfizer man; I think this might be how we civilly attack each other; we will have three camps, the Pfizers, the Modernas, and the J and J one-shot wonders.  We will be having an organizational meeting for our team Pfizer on Zoom later today.  Before the call, you will be asked to show your papers.

My wife is making our pup breakfast; her diet is now a mix of chicken breast meat and some Purina dog food.  She’s spoiled our 18 breed mix of pitbull, cattle dog, poodle, and rototiller (on purpose) is a beautiful addition to our family; Parker Van Halen is a boss.

I was on a call last week, and a friend referenced my soup; he shared it was a “shorter” soup and that he appreciated the shorter soups, so for Bryan, I’ll wrap it up right here.  There is no reason to clog the interwebs with nonsense from a 52 years old man who identifies as light tan whose pronouns are John, Paul, George, and Ringo.  Cheers, I’ll see you tomorrow.
