A while back a woman died after eating at a Disney restaurant and being assured that the food she was ordering was allergen free. Disney responded very poorly to the husband’s suit, but I wonder if the Disney employee believed things were allergen free because of one of these hacked menus.

John Krasinkski is e best Jack Ryan on screen. He’s the perfect guy for the role.

That’s really a valid point.

Boredom after some period of time, you will have some everything there is to do.

Why? Is it not Hamas run? If it’s not Hamas run, then it shouldn’t be called Hamas run, but if it is Hamas run what’s the issue?

I’m gonna have to refire up my 2024 save.

I think PE teachers often get a bad rap. I’m grateful that you got a good one also.

Two men other than my father had dramatic impact on my life. Both of them were PE teachers, one in elementary school and one in high school.

I was awkward, uncoordinated, and a social outcast. I was always the last picked when teams were picked. My elementary school PE teacher solved this by making me the “captain” and I got to pick the teams.

My high school PE teacher, who won State championships and coached future NBA all-stars still had time to be my doubles partner when we were playing tennis.

Those two men were definitely my champions.

Thank you for that.

Dementia.

My mother has dementia.

Every time I forget something I know I should know it terrifies me.

I can’t stomach most King. My wife has every book he’s written.

That said, The Stand would be in my top 5 books ever. I’ve read it seven or eight times. 11-22-63 is also spectacular. I read it. Watched the Hulu mini-series and now am listening to the audio book.

Today is my wife’s birthday, when she opened her gift it was a reMarkable Pro. So far we’re both impressed.

Fully agreed very heavy.

Love love love these books.

I’m a fan of capitalism, but not the kind of capitalism that decrees something is too big to fail and must be bailed out.

That would have been a giveaway.

I’ll take that as a compliment! I’ve had the same job since December 2001. My first marriage lasted over 20 years. My second is at 12 already. Three sons, one daughter, a wife who’s a career soldier, means we move a lot.

This has been a ton of fun. Thank you for taking the time to do it. I was very careful in my answers, hoping not to give too much away. I think I was mostly successful.

I’m pretty impressed at the 49 number though!

You’re actually 12 years too young. I just celebrated birthday 61.
