I’m a descendant of preachers, missionaries, rock climbers, bar owners, and mail ladies/men. I’m a descendant of soldiers, pioneers, lawyers, realtors, boarding-house runners, sheriffs, engineers, and birthers. There’s some intensity in our blood. I say that to say I see that energy manifest in my family in interesting ways. I don’t have time to elaborate tonight.

A lot of people are playing the lottery this week. I’m told the jackpot is over $1.6billion. One person may win that. I also saw a LinkedIn post today reminding us that if we have a roof over our head etc we are richer than 75% of humans. It’s easy to get myopic in America.
