Really enjoyed this one. Hoping it shows strength returning after all your recovery.

Not a football fan or player. But you chose the most slightly built and intellectual of the positions. I think linebacker is the position you have in mind, because that is the one I have heard used to describe my genially menacing mode.

QBs are too intellectual? But don't low-information voters want candidates to be a little bit smart? I'm pretty sure QB is the only football position where I have the slightest idea of what they do. Like, what is a "tight end" except a phrase to giggle at?

QB are squared-away, inner-focused while aware of others. If Kris Kristofferson wasn’t one, he sure looked like one. Was an Army Ranger captain, similar role. The Yam’s vibe is more thug. So I went looking to see what position Mussolini played. Alas was not an athlete.

I love your take on the Biden situation. I wish I could stop worrying about another Trump presidency.

I can't imagine a co-worker being so judgmental! My goodness. Sometimes when people say crazy judgmental things I find it's just a lack of education on their part (like not understanding grief, or parenting, or cultural differences) and a little teaching goes a long ways. But this sounds so beyond that. YUCK

She is a judgmental person and we often disagree on the best course of action. It might be a good time to bring it out in the open.

Wow this is a great read. Love to hear your mulling on age, aging, and the ol' white guy in charge. As for the gelid politesse, well you know that I know from whence you speak. Love the bean analogy! *I know you are but what am I?!* Spot on🤣
