Imagine yourself taking middle-of-the-night photos with your iPhone balancing on a dragged-over beach chair. Carefully press the button, then jump out in front of the lens, standing still for the remaining 25 seconds.

I asked ChatGPT, “Would you kindly create an image of a big orange bully extorting money from lawyers, corporations, countries, or TV networks, or all of them?” This is what we finally landed on.
“Where is all the money going?”
That’s a great point. My buddy Bill and I were yapping on the phone this morning and he asked that rather simple question. We were both perplexed about how the Big Bully was getting away with extorting millions and billions from seemingly everybody; corporate America and Academia; law firms and TV networks; foreign countries and even other big billionaires.

Three New Presidential Dramas
To Help You Avoid All The Presidential Drama
It’s been really rough, tuning into the news these past several months. All of the presidential drama has made us downsize our daily dose of disaster and instead, eagerly engage in escapist entertainment.
So naturally, my wife and I have latched onto three wildly entertaining shows that, ahem, focus on pretend presidents. All of the presidential drama has unprecedentedly pushed us toward presidential dramas. Funny how that works.

When we finally sat in the BZ4X, my wife and I both felt like Goldilocks breaking and entering into the bear’s bungalow. As previous Prius owners, we both thought, “This is just right.” The acceleration threw us back in our seats and all the gauges & clusters felt normal. It was pretty instantaneous for both of us and a big upgrade.
EVs are fun and great for the planet.
I just bought the LAST car I thought I’d buy. And I LOVE it!
We are the proud owners of a barely used Toyota electric vehicle, the oddly named BZ4X. It lived in California for all of its 3,000-mile-life, was marked down about $25,000 from its 2023 new price and is fully loaded with every bell & whistle you could ring or blow.

Forty Favorite Frames
I am incredibly lucky and amazingly grateful for my year of adventure, work and family. Here are some of my favorite photos, taken from as nearby as right here at this computer and as far away as the Southern Hemisphere, 600 miles out to sea or a couple miles high, yet somehow still standing on the ground.
My granddaughter jumped onto the chair, raised the blinds and waved bye-bye to Mommy who promised she’d be back within the hour … (she was!)Read More
