Good morning. It’s Thursday. Let us get this ball rolling. DJ play that music.
I had quite a few fun topics I wanted to discuss today, but some of those will have to be postponed to tomorrow. The war in Ukraine is changing with them having the ability to hit back within Russia. For the first time, Russia is on defense and offense. The Ukrainians have destroyed a major rail system that the Russians used, and this will change things drastically. A good listen is below.
Anyone who knows me knows I’m a fan of Andrew Huberman. Andrew recently appeared on Joe Rogan and they had a light discussion about what they called ‘surface readers.’ People look at the headline and extrapolate all they think they need to know about a subject. They don’t take the time actually to read the article and inform themselves further.
This is one of my big pet peeves. You are not reading enough, researching enough. But more than that. Are you researching beyond your own bias? Especially in the realm of politics and statistics. I’m constantly questioning how they came up with a dataset.
Some Goodness
This Doctor flies around the United States, saving dogs on kill lists. Is he a vet? No – he’s an internal medicine doctor at a larger hospital. It’s my feeling good story.
Lastly…..
I got a text from my daughter at 3 pm yesterday. This part wasn’t unusual. It was what was said after the initial hello. One of her childhood friends (Who she’s remained friends with to this day) is a year behind her in schooling. This boy’s Father, Eric, had taken his own life. I had limited time with Eric and knew him mostly in time before my daughter was born. Eric was a fun down-to-earth guy. He had a fun sense of humor—a Big Red Sox fan and into the rock music scene.
It seems like the Eddie Vedder tribute he did for Chris Cornell hits home.
I feel bad for all the pain caused now to others, but I try to view it as Eric is no longer in pain – dealing with his mental demons. I feel bad that his son will never get to have an adult relationship with his Dad—my deepest condolences to all parties involved. You truly never know what anyone is going thru.
RIP Eric
