248 days until EXIT PLAN
Working on my plans for May – like packing a snowball. So many goals, but not one overall theme. This past March – I called it Meatless March / April Drought – didn’t drink alcohol for the month / Cold Showers in July / Muddy November
No Carbs / Low Carb / Meat / Push Up Challenge / Jiu-Jitsu / Maybe an overall theme of Kicking the Dad Bod.
Although, if I go on to TikTok and see all these women saying how they love the men with the Dad Bods . . . hmm – maybe I am yummy.

So – Elon Musk – you’ve had to have heard of this guy by now. Oh, Twitter World. Gonna be a ride over there. I just found out that Walter Isaacson who is one of my favorite authors – he wrote Benjamin Franklin – An American Life – I read it. I listened to his biography on Steve Jobs as well as The Code Breaker: Jennifer Doudna, Gene Editing, and the Future of the Human Race – that was a crazy one because of how it came out during the middle of the pandemic and how important it was for the vaccines to be made. Anyway – Mr. Isaacson is doing the life of Elon Musk – middle of it right now. Only the middle.

PODCAST TUESDAY!
I use Overcast App for my podcasts and they just changed the layout of how they list and store your apps. Initially, I wasn’t liking it initially, but they tweaked something that made me happy again. I track around 34 podcasts right now and that’s too much. It’s like your email box holding over 1000 emails. I don’t have one to truly highlight today, but when I get behind and I don’t fell like following any of the news. Tim Ferriss.

Teachings of Spicoli
I’ve talked about “I’m gonna” – can’t stand the person that keeps saying “I’m gonna” and then . . . they never do it. Makes it so much worse.
Then, there’s the “I don’t know” person. Clip. I learned a long time ago with Fast Times at Ridgemont High that “I don’t know” was never a good thing to say. Mr. Hand clip.
These things both keep happening. Drives me nuts. So, what do I do.

Hope everyone had a good holiday weekend – some celebrated Passover, others Easter, and others – it was the weekend. We had the bunny visit, so excess candy is in the house. I did have to make a run to my business’s workshop yesterday. At a light, I got beeped at and looked over. This older couple in a Mercedes were trying to say something to me. They didn’t look mad, but I still took a deep breath before putting the window down – I didn’t think I did anything wrong. And – I hadn’t. They wanted to know if there was a nearby Wegman’s. What? No – not really. I mean there is one about 20 minutes from here, but that’s on 202 heading towards PA. I then cut myself short and stressed no – not around here. Don’t they have a phone?

So, the other day, I mentioned Amelia Earhart because my journal – The Five-Minute Journal – had a quote from her. This triggered a story that I remembered my grandmother telling me. She was my Nana and my kids called her Super Nana, because you know – you couldn’t really go with Big Nana. Anyway, she worked for George Agnew Chamberlain who lived quite a life. Hunted with Teddy Roosevelt. Back to my Nana, she would go to his house with my uncle – who was a baby at the time in a basket – and then sit to take down what Mr. Chamberlain would spout out. The book that she worked on was The Lantern on the Plough – Published in 1925. Oh yeah – how does this all relate to Amelia Earhart. Well, she would visit Chamberlain on his property . . . by flying in. All in Bridgeton, NJ. A place that I always pick on when I have to visit for my job because they have no Starbucks and I lose any phone capability for the 3 to 4 hours while there.

New Music Friday:
Any song that is titled “Doritos & Fritos” better be good. The band that got their name from a spray paint job on a brick wall – 100 gecs – dropped this single today. It’s a fun song. This is actually their 2nd release from their upcoming album 10000 gecs. Unfortunately, no release date on the full album drop but it does appear to be soon. This one is actually a follow up to the duo’s 2019 debut, 1000 gecs
Yesterday, Lizzo unveiled a new single, “About Damn Time” – this is the first release from her upcoming album, Special – which is released in its entirety on July 15th.
Full album drop today from local Philly guy (for me at least) – Kurt Vile. We got a couple singles already, but the one being pushed today is “Flyin (like a fast train)”. The album is called (watch my moves) – which is parenthesis. The new album includes a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Wages of Sin.” Lots of guitar.
Revisiting the new album release from Father John Misty from last Friday. The album is called – Chloë and The Next 20th Century – and I’m truly loving it. I’ve listened to it just about every night in our house library. Just relaxing and chilling. I love the calming vibe that just pours over me as I listen. Love those types of albums where you’re like “Where did that come from?”
