My Gaybor Loves to Iron, Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, 12 Inches of White Pleasure, Be Careful when Hiring a Hitman, Littlewoods Law

Hello Saturday, how are you? Nice to see you; drop your coat and hat at the front door; the coffee is on; join me while I empty my mind. 6:30 a.m., it’s quiet here; my wife is asleep, the animals are in bed with her, the refrigerator is my white noise, as is my little fireplace.  The coffee is strong, 73 degrees outside, and we are looking at some thunderstorms today.

Next week is race weekend and my birthday; the weather at this point looks great, sunny and 80s. Speaking of weather, we are getting 18 inches of snow back at our mountain home; it’s the end of May, and we are having a blizzard. We usually get one snow this time of year, but this is a nice big dump.  It’s suitable for the water table.

I had a great day yesterday; I wrote some stuff, cleaned up my email in the box, and showered. I had my men’s group meeting from 9:30 to noon, took my pup for a walk, and then had a 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 clock appointment. I wrapped up about 4:00 and sat with my wife and neighbors in our courtyard. My “gaybor” Bill got his new Pride Flag; he was going to iron it; he does not like it when I don’t iron our flag.

We watched some tube last night and got to bed at a reasonable time. I slept great, getting 9 hours of glorious sleep; I’m well-rested and ready to take on the day. We are meeting some of our team to have lunch and enjoy the day. We are having dinner with some friends tonight, maybe some shuffleboard; tomorrow, my family comes down, and we all head over to see Baby Bo. My son and his family are coming to see us on my birthday; I’ll finally get to hold my other grandbabies!  

I had a good week; many projects were getting wrapped up, and I had some excellent conversations, setting the table for a bright future. If every week is as effective as the last, I think my life is positioned well to enjoy my last 63 years on this earth. I will live until I’m 116; that’s a fact until I don’t live until 116.

Let’s check out the news and see what is happening worldwide.  The first headline from Ground News is Boeing’s Starliner finally docs with the international space station. I find it interesting that they include the word finally.  Grocery prices have been up 20% over the last two years. What happened two years ago? A Kentucky pediatrician charged in murder for hire plot.  It seems a woman doctor hired an undercover FBI guy to kill her husband; careful when hiring someone to kill a loved one.

Elon Musk said he would no longer vote Democrat; the next day, he was deemed a sexual predator. Careful who you disagree with. They might claim you are a predator, killer, or pedophile. Is it possible that the doctor above changed her party affiliation? Today anything is possible.

The abortion story did not last long; remember when the world was going to hell because the Supreme Court was going to leave it up to the states to set their own rules about killing babies. I don’t think the story played well; the media has moved on to other topics. The lead story now is back to Russia, Russia, Russia, much like the Brady Bunch was about Marsha, Marsha, Marsha.

We have decided to hang around Indiana until mid-June; some events are happening, and our mountain house will be waiting for us. It’s nice to have flexibility in our schedule; if we want to stay, we stay; if we’re going to go, we go. I miss our western home but am enjoying our time in the valley.

Speaking of home, I just pulled up our Ring Camera, and we have about 12 inches of snow, aka white pleasure; it looks like we might be 18 inches when it’s all over. I’ll share a photo of our deck; it’s coming down hard and heavy. If we were out west, we would be having a snow day; since we live east, we will walk our city and hang out with friends.

How’s your stock portfolio? Have you lost a little wealth? It’s a good lesson for those of us that will eventually be living on a fixed income, do not put all your eggs in one basket; diversify your income. Be smart with your treasure. We are invested in commercial real estate, cryptocurrency, our business, and the stock market and have great cashback in case shit hits the fan. Removing financial issues from one’s life is one of the first steps toward true freedom.  Money is not something one needs to worry about; work hard, build a treasure chest and then focus on your gifts.

Well, I think I’ve said enough, I gave you an overview of yesterday, today, and the news, and now I’ll wait for the most beautiful woman in the world to get up and give me some sugar. I’m excited for another day, another opportunity to learn, love, and live. I’m very happy for the future, I have some things that I can’t share yet, but soon, I will let you know of some work we have been doing behind the scenes. We worked on something special this year, and our work will soon be revealed. It’s an exciting time for us; our family is flourishing, our business is growing, and opportunity drips from every dark matter molecule.

I’ll wrap with this; did you know miracles happen every day? According to Littlewood's Law: Around once per month, each of us experiences a "miracle" (an event with odds of one in a million). Across the world, miracles are happening all the time, but because there are so many of them, we perceive them as mundane. You are blessed, you are lucky, and you are fortunate. Smile for today is a gift and opportunity.
