13 years ago come May 2nd, I woke up not realizing how fully my life would change that evening. 11 years ago today, she made me the happiest man alive. She is asleep with our littlest and looking at her there, I know how empty those years would be without her. I love you, Ali.

I’m drafting a constitutional amendment To oust every member of Congress Whenever inflation exceeds 3% It’s better to disqualify politicians Than for an entire nation to suffer under the yoke of inflation Please let me know what you think And share if you like the idea

🚨 "THIS IS THE WAY": Elon Musk has ENDORSED Warren Buffett’s plan to FIX the Deficit Crisis: If it’s over 3% of GDP, ALL of Congress is ineligible for re-election. @elonmusk called the Big, Beautiful Bill “Debt Slavery for the American people.”

@LibbyApp thank you so much for your prompt response to my support question. I really hope one day you will incorporate highlights into magazines. It would make Libby a must have in my workflow.

Moonflower Murders was well done. I felt the casting was much better than the predecessor. I am really excited that BBC is already working on the sequel. Thank you.

Reading By the Pricking of My Thumbs led to a binge of Partners in Crime. I prefer Nick and Nora as my married detective couple. That said the costumes, particularly for Tuppence were stellar. I would have really loved to see them do the rest of the stories.

January continues to be an active month for me on the mystery circuit. I finished Rowan's Maigret. It inspired me to take a stab at the novels. I look forward to comparing it with Michael Gambon's takes it February.

Speaking of most satisfactory, I also finished Rex Stout's A Family Affair. I struggled with the conclusion. Not due to a lack of logic but due to an attachment to the affected characters. A&E's fantastic series gave these characters a special place in my heart.

Yesterday I finished reading Death in the Clouds by Agatha Christie. Having only seen the ITV rendition with @David_Suchet, the conclusion was most satisfactory.

I started watching Rowan Atkinson in Maigret. An outstanding performance. His range is on full display, something we saw hints of in Blackadder. I am curious if the new version of Maigret will live up to Rowan and Michael Gambon's takes. Any thoughts?

"Professor Y" has a soft spot in my heart. We just introduced my littlest to Dr. Who. She was pleasantly surprised to see the "Garlics" again. My middle daughter loves the show. It is perfectly balanced for her. The right mixture of murder and silliness.

I finished watching all of Sister Boniface Mysteries. I must say I greatly miss Ruth Penny and her storyline with Sam. However the 2024 Christmas special redeemed everything. The panto and Wilf storyline warmed me to my toes. Thank you to all involved.

My wife gave me a lovely gift, physical copies of Magpie Murders and Moonflower Murders. Even though I read/listened to them via my library, I am so excited. I love reading my mysteries over and over. I am even indulging myself with the TV series. Life is delightful.

Words can't express my excitement regarding @thereadystate app update. Plus the YouTube trailer for it is pure gold.

I found today on the former Sovereign Man newsletter a reasoning for crypto and gold which really resonates with me.

This is hard to write. In June, Google laid me off. Since then, it has been a roller coaster of emotions. Please send me some good thoughts and if you have them leads to stay in Ireland. Thank you so much.

TEARS OF JOY: This girl asked Santa for a toy house where she could play. Since they are a family of limited means, her brothers surprised her by building one. Her expression says everything.... this is what the holidays are about. ❤️
