It's one of my favorite days of the year! Thunderbird practice for the Chicago Air & Water Show.

Following a truck traveling Sheridan Road through Rogers Park into Evanston. 😆 😂 😆

Rainy Monday exploring Red Rocks Las Vegas.

Sunrise in Rogers Park (Chicago), my hometown.

Let's remind Fox and their viewers, “tariffs are a war on Christmas.”

This morning in Chicago’s Hyde Park checking out the construction of the Barack Obama Presidential Library

In my 70 years I've heard “let’s agree to disagree”. Sure. I'll agree we don't have to agree on "who wore it best" or "who makes the best lasagna" and still love you. However, if you expect/demand I agree to disagree on the human right to exist, there is no longer space for you in my world.

"A Complete Unknown" 1960's wisdom revisited. "Yes, ’n’ how many years can some people exist Before they’re allowed to be free? Yes, ’n’ how many times can a man turn his head Pretending he just doesn’t see? The answer, my friend, is blowin’ in the wind." - Bob Dylan

"We will not sit idly by while our neighbors have their rights stripped away" Pittsfield City Council unanimously declares the city a sanctuary for transgender and gender-diverse people #NOH8

"Probable fraud" is code for the GOP's plan to privitize America's treasury.

Perspective is an unexpected gift when choosing a different path. #Cabo #Mexico #Sunset

Spent another day enjoying gray whales from shore. The whales are mating and birthing much farther south due to the climate shift in water temps. It's been 30 years since Cabo San Lucas and Mazatlan have seen gray whales in abundance.

I've returned to this sacred convergence of land, sea, and air for 25 years. A shore where whales congregate. And, horizon therapy is a glance away. A community where strangers become friends. In a solar system where the terrestrial sunrise - sunset is a glorious gift #Cabo #Sunrise

Afternoon beach walk along the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur.

The essence of practice... “Do the best you can until you know better. Then, when you know better, do better.” Maya Angelou

Night transforms into day. #Cabo

JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."

At the ocean, on a beach, just hanging out with whales. Find what's good for your soul's clarity and focus, then begin.

The author of this piece was an associate WH counsel under Reagan. He has a very polite way of explaining that what Trump is doing with DOGE is a coup. wapo.st/4hSE7Ox

@ttmproject.bsky.social Thank you for "This Changes Everything"! I just finished reading your divine reminder to lean into my life with love and acceptance. It was a lovely one sided conversation with a friend I haven't met yet. I hope your wish comes true, and one day, I will tell you my story.

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are why we acknowledge Black History.

Juxtaposition of POTUS's words this morning with his accomplishments of the past 10 days.

"America Carnage" is the Trump/GOP/MAGA/conservative/Republican doctrine (manifesto). Just say no.

In fairness the resulting fire and explosion might have set off the sprinklers.

Watching "Goodfellas" when Henry Hill says "To me, being a gangster was better than being President of the United States." Brief pause, a shared look, laughter ensues, and "Goodfellas" became a comedy.
