Cursing is a sign of intelligence. 🤬

My old man cursed. A lot. Every other f***ing word. Smart guy, too. I've tried to cut back for my kids' sake. But then I read headlines like: People that curse a lot are more intelligent. Is that true? Maybe. Cursing is, apparently, an indicator of intelligence. Like water on Mars, I guess. It might be there. Might not. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 🤣

What are you posting today? 🤔

Social media is no longer social. I did a test run with my son the other day. “Watch me scroll IG,” I said. First was a friend post. Then an ad. Then another ad. Then a friend posting about their business, technically an ad. A suggested post. Another ad. And so on. 2/12 posts on the initial scroll were people I knew and followed. Come on, man. We’re all just out here watching each other’s commercials. And that’s why I’ll keep making them. 😉

Dinner on the Moon? 🌖

The Artemis II astronauts are on the far side of the moon as I write this. I told my kids, “Someday we’re gonna have dinner on the moon.” They looked at me like I was insane. Which is fair. But it got me thinking about time, generations, and how fast the world changes... and also how some things never change at all. Let’s start the newsletter!

Newsletter, Who Dis?! 🤣

I had this first issue ready to go but I cannot push ahead with saying, "We have liftoff!" The Artemis II mission with NASA Astronauts Wiseman, Koch, Glover, and their Canadian friend Hansen launched April 1st on a journey around the moon. My littlest kids watched it with me live. About 2 minutes into the flight, one of them asked, "Do they glue the cameras on the spaceship?" LMAO! It was special to share that moment with them. I may have teared up a bit. And, of course, if you're from my generation, you're always nervous for the crew. Until they get home. Godspeed y'all. Let's start the newsletter!
