My father, and his father, were co-best-men in my wedding. Today is the 10th anniversary of my dad’s funeral. He died unexpectedly and suddenly (but not immediately), over a two week period in June 2015, from an auto immune disease nobody (including him) knew he had. On.

Note to self:. Look at “long if >10 (5?) ATH within last 12 (18?) months & cash if not”. Consider replacing cash with any combination of gold (silver?), bitcoin, energy, consumer defensive, developed international, emerging, MIC, “biggest laggards at the peak”, etc.
Tariffs? What tariffs? The S&P 500 hit its 9th all-time high of the year this week, brushing off the latest round of trade threats. $SPX. Video:

Not a hot take. Not even a little bit warm.
Hot take: Being happily married is better than a big bank account.

My mom tells this story of the first family meeting at the dining room table after dad died. We prayed, and mom just sat there. I leaned over, touched her arm and whispered, “Mom, you need to pick up your fork.”. She laughed, cried, picked up her fork, and ate. Sometimes.
First time topping up the windshield wiper fluid myself. I find myself learning new skills, and pleased that I did, but wishing I didn’t have to. On weekends sometimes, the silence is deafening. Keeping busy is the only way through it this weekend.

Seems like a great use of tax payer funds, flooding a baseball field ….
Fire department flooded this summer ball team’s field after a ball hit a truck parked by the station. I think the fellas should host the Wet n Wild Home Run Derby today.

“His problem is that he’s too smart by half.”.
A high IQ doesn’t guarantee life success. In many cases, it very much stands in the way.

Horrible ROI. Making 4% across ~2.5 years while taking some undetermined credit risk from Polymarket?. Just buy a t-bill.
Zohran Mamdani cannot legally be a Presidential Nominee since he was not born in America. You can buy dollars for $0.96c

The theme song for the TV show “Slow Horses” written by The Rolling Stones exclusively for the show is brilliant.

Had spouse walk out on them, chased spouse across the country, did the hard work, and the family came back together.
I know of three types of people who aren't scared of anything anymore:. -the combat veteran.-the addict who beat their addiction.-the cancer survivor. To me, those people have been to the darkest of the dark and somehow made it out the other side. Y'all got any more?.

Today’s PSA.
My first two words on this particular Sunday morning were "Hallelujah!” followed by, “Amen!”. I was not in church when I uttered them. I was at my kitchen table, watching the CEO of the most valuable company in the world say precisely what mikeroweWORKS has been espousing for the

Never buy land where one boundary odd officially listed as a stream or river. @gbrookscooper.
The year is 1944. The rivers of time. Gaze in awe at the Ancient Courses of the Mississippi River Meander Belt. The river's history is divided into 20 stages, separated by intervals of 100 years, each of which is represented by a reconstructed ancient course. The position

Update: This is the first paragraph of an email I received yesterday:. “Thank you again for contacting American Airlines Customer Relations. This is a follow-up to let you know that our reply may take a little longer due to our current volume. Please rest assured that we will get.
FWIW, @AmericanAir , I’ve still not heard back from anyone in customer service.

It’s one of the many blessings in my life that my wife is the same. Zero interest in self promotion.
I lucked out that my wife isn’t a big Instagram person b/c the opposite looks painful. I watch my guy friends grit their teeth as their wives/gfs take the same pic 8x from slightly different angles. Food pics, duck face, mirror selfie. These ppl are all 40+ too, lol.

Lifestyle businesses are vastly underrated.
PJ sums up a lot of thoughts I have about my situation well. Will this be forever for me? No. But am I happy now? Absolutely.

This is HORRIBLE news.
🚨BREAKING: IRS ends unconstitutional 70-year gag rule, says churches can speak on politics. For the first time in 70 years, pastors can now legally endorse candidates from the pulpit—without risking their church’s tax-exempt status. Here’s what this means 🧵
