  1. No idea on brunch ideas but we're staying on 44th on the same black as the Algonquin.  Love that place even if they did fuck up the Blue Room bar.

    We went to LA Espina in SOHO alst night.  I know Texans frown on Mexican food in other locales but it was great and it has a speakeasy feel.  You enter through a diner and go underground. 

    We hit Ferrara's for dessert later.  Awesome treats.  

  2. Got in the standby line for a taping of the Kelly Clarkson show with Kal Penn as guest host,  Stanley Tucci as the main guest and Iliza Schlesinger.    We knew when we got in line that was the lineup otherwise I'd have probably passed.  We were walking by NBC Studio when a  page approached us about going standby.   It took less than 40 minutes until we were in the studio.  It was pretty cool to see an episode of a TV show get done.

  3. We got in yesterday.   Staying in a VRBO in 44th between 5th and 6th.  Great spot for homebasing to shows.

    The ladies went to And Juliet last night and loved it.  Going to Goodnight and Goodbye with George Clooney tonight.

  4. Private companies have been dumping WFH too.   Even those that had some kind of WFH pre-covid.  My company is making most people come in 5 days a week now.

    I take Trump at his word that he wants to eliminate personal and corporate income tax and replace the revenue with tariffs. The IRS flips to the External Revenue Service. Trump folks point to the pre-1900s where the govt didn’t have income tax sources and spending was relatively low. Public services was almost non-existent except at the local level.

    to them that was when America was Great.

    I was talking to someone about how the economy of the 1890s is vastly different than today's world.   When I brought this up, the other person was gobsmacked.  They truly didn't grasp that trade, technology, etc. was so different back then.

  6. I was in a Walmart yesterday and the location had ammo.   It still cracks me up that they sell 30-06 and .308 but not .223/5.56.  I can buy ammo for a BAR or an AR-10 but not an AR-15.

    It’s not just money that people have issues with, it’s very big numbers in general.  And that’s true across the spectrum, it’s not something to be embarrassed of but it does mean that people need to be deliberate when making decisions. 
     

    You can understand what say, 100,000 people looks like as opposed to 1,000.  It’s a full college football stadium, while 1,000 was all the kids in your middle school on panoramic photo day.
     

    You can’t conceptualize what 1 million or 1 billion people look like, in relation to 100,000 or each other.  

    Financial literacy is also a huge problem. I routinely meet with employees as part of my job to talk about the company's 401k plan.   The number of people in their 50s who have under 100k saved for retirement is scary.

    You have a newsletter?  How come I only keep getting dick pics and cat facts?

    Going to buy some Neil Young albums. Anyone have a top 3?

    I would say Harvest Moon but that's mainly because the title track is one of my favorite songs.

    My body is ready!

    I also got a much enjoyed surprise… I thought it was gonna be. 9 episode season with 3 arcs, so finding out that it’s 12 with 4 arcs is great!

    What I spotted:
    1. Tie Avenger back from the video game!

    2. Looks like we might get a Krennic - Mon Mothma meeting at what looks like her daughter’s arranged marriage.

    3. Saw Gerrera’s XWings and transport almost look to be leaving a rebel base with a dead rebel laying in the shot. His “terrorist” ways coming to a head here?

    4. Is the yellow wheat/grass fields planet Dantooine? Are we gonna see the rebel outpost at Dantooine in action?!?

    There were more but I’m forgetting them now
