I've been listening to @Markmanson's Solved Podcast episode about friendships. It's long and detailed enough to keep an astronaut company on a trip to Mars. I downloaded the free episode companion, "Your Friendship Guide." It's a 112-page novel loaded with value!

I'm a bit late in posting this. Me and the boys with @KipWinger after a Winger concert earlier this year in St. Charles, IL. Kip's vocals were 🔥 that night and so strong. He seemed to be in a flow state while playing bass at times. #rocknroll #winger

I'm preparing for @hurricanenita's Body Shred 7 Challenge, which starts Monday. Getting my plan together. Will submit my photos tomorrow. I'm taking it easy today. I may go for a walk later on. #bodyshred #bodyshred7 #winter #nitastrauss #personalimprovement

I'm reading "The 38 Letters From J.D. Rockefeller To His Son." I've heard good things about this book. Basically, I, think its J.D. Rockefeller giving his only son life advice. #Reading #books #JDRockefeller #winter

Currently reading Scriptnotes by John August and Craig Mazin... #reading #books

I'm currently reading @andyweirauthor's Project Hail Mary. I'm a little over half way through and I like it so far. #reading #books

I'm taking the Futures Thinking specialization on Coursera taught by @iftf. Learn how to anticipate future possibilities. I highly recommend the courses. coursera.org/specialization…

I saw Predator: Badlands this weekend. I haven't seen any Predator movies since Predator 2, so I'm probably a casual fan. Badlands was pretty awesome. The action was creative. The immersion in a deadly planet to explore fun. I highly recommend it. #PredatorBadlands #Movies

Currently reading -

I finished reading @RyanHoliday 's latest book in his Stoic virtues series, "Wisdom Takes Work." If you've read his other books, I'm sure you will enjoy and find value this one. I wonder what Ryan is working on next. #book #reading #stoicism #ryanholiday #wisdom

Currently reading @morganhousel 's latest, "The Art of Spending Money." Its a good read. I highly recommend it. #book #reading

“Good advice is never so simple as saying ‘Live for today’ or ‘Save for the future.’ The only good advice is ‘Minimize future regret.’ – @morganhousel

Its been awhile since I've been on @X . While I was away, my son and I visited the Rocky Statue during our first trip to Philadelphia. This is a father/son photo I will always treasure.

I saw @F1Movie. Congratulations to Joseph Kosinski, Brad Pitt, @HansZimmer, and Claudio Miranda for creating an amazing cinematic experience. I'm going to need to see it again!

I saw the new Mission Impossible movie yesterday. It was ambitious beyond belief. Its a good movie with heart-stopping stunts and action sequences. Having said that, it has its flaws. Fans of the other Mission Impossible movies will enjoy it overall.

2/2 I value longevity, gasoline-use, and cargo space. I'll likely look at @Honda as an alternative to @Toyota. I'm disappointed that @Toyota is eliminating the gasoline option.

1/2 I love my 2022 @Toyota RAV4 LE. I'm not in need of another vehicle at the moment, but I see the newest RAV4s don't offer gasoline options. As much as I love my RAV4, when the time comes, I'm going to need to look at other car companies that still offer gasoline models

The #superbowl wasn't much of a game.

I'm about halfway through with @MikeSteib 's The Career Manifesto. Although this book says it's for people in early career stages, there is a lot here that can benefit people at any stage of their career. The value proposition on this book is high. I highly recommend it.

I received The Almanack of Naval Ravikant in the mail today thanks to @amazon and the @USPS. I've been looking forward to reading this one for awhile. #reading #books pic.twitter.com/roWLJaDXns
