Found this quote in James Clear's newsletter today and loved it:
"If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them."

This week was so rough I’ve returned to my most-listened albums from 2020 for comfort.
Screenshot of text that reads “The one thing we all have in common right now is the uncertainty of the future,” Kotelnicki said Wednesday, his first meeting with the media since August. “When something like this happens, the uncertainty is magnified. We’re all in this. The message is — and I think our players have done a great job of it — whatever you want for your future as a player or a coach, the best thing you can do is be very present and do a hell of a job with what you’re doing today.”
This quote from a Penn State assistant coach whose boss (head coach) was just fired sounds a lot like what I tell my time in times of change: “Right now is the best time to do your best work. Whatever happens, doing great work today is going to help you tomorrow.”
Flacco, Rodgers, and Scherzer. Big night for elder millennials.

To avoid confusion with oat milk, I started to call whole milk “regular milk”. Seems to be catching on at my local coffee shop. Is this a thing elsewhere?
It be like that these days. Good luck out there!
@thetrailhead.bsky.social your write up today was 🔥
The absolute chaos that yoire immersed in immediately after stepping outside an NYC airport is such a wild “welcome home” experience. I love New Yorkers so much.
I like the easter egg of the horns forming a UT and the shoulder logos too.

Happy Friday y’all
Thank you!
Are there any recordings of the show available?
The Calvin and Hobbes collections I consumed in middle school were the most influential books I’ve ever read.
