    Not necessarily good news, but a whole lot better than the alternative!

    I was in the thick of the massive development effort that made sure no catastrophe happened. Billions of dollars spent, but it should have been addressed over the preceding two decades.

    I love vegetables and have coffee and chocolate every day, so this is good news. (The chocolate is milk chocolate, but never mind that. It's got polyphenols in it, plus a smidge of calcium and protein from the milk. I'm sure my statin will deal with the milk fat.)

    I’m one of those weirdos who loves performing but still gets the shakes! Back around 2005-2006, I was preparing for a recital where I played several pieces. A year or so before I had had a major crash and burn stage fright event, so in preparation for the recital, I read as many books as I could find about dealing with stage fright. The Inner Game was one of my favorites. The recital went well btw.

    I have never signed up on FB, Instagram, Threads, Twitter, or TikTok. I had a Nextdoor account briefly but deleted it. Juice wasn't worth the squeeze, people post the nuttiest stuff. Like you, wish I had access to FB Marketplace and the ability to post stuff to sell on Nextdoor, but oh, well....I'll just have to live without them.
