My sister was actually in Turks and Caicos for the SpaceX spaceship explosion! How crazy is that?! They had no idea what was happening!

It's my last day of pet-sitting one of my favorite furry co-workers, Jack the hunting dog! I've never met such a well-behaved dog who's always ready to chill, or ready to go out, always with the sweet face and waggy tail any time of day. It's quite the bromance 🐕💕🤠 It's also been an incredibly productive retreat for the last few weeks to knock out some great stuff. If I was fully digital nomad again I would probably just bounce around the world pet sitting 🤣

It's been a truly apocalyptic situation here in Lo

It's been a truly apocalyptic situation here in Los Angeles. There's been a truly massive effort by various front line units with non-stop helicopter water drops, we're not quite out of the woods yet. The fire has almost burned entirely across the mountaintop from Pacific Palisades over the top and down towards the valley near Calabasas. Luckily the winds have been low, and hopefully they will continue to be so that the rest of this can be put out before it hits the communities of the San Fernando valley. It's a race against Time though as the forecast calls for higher winds expected soon.

Yesterday in Santa Monica it rained toxic ash and I woke up to a light dusting of it all over the driveway and on the cars. While I'm well out of harm's way, it was still very disconcerting.

I did not take these photos, but I wanted to share them to give people an idea of the sense of what Los Angeles is dealing with. Clean up, housing people, and rebuilding devastated communities is going to be the next challenge... It's a long road to recovery over here 💪🏼😭💪🏼

Feels good to not feel like I need a whole new me

Feels good to not feel like I need a whole new me anymore. Instead, to just keep on incrementally improving the awesome old me. So this year I don't have any resolutions except to continue the previous year's focus of Family, Finances, and Fitness!

It's been so interesting to enter middle age this year. My friend group is smaller but more intimate, events I attend are fewer but higher quality, *almost* all of my bad habits have naturally fallen by the wayside, I'm riding a 99% natural high most of the time, have found a good work life balance, eat mostly healthy, exercise 5 days a week, usually sleep 8 hours, intersperse watching stuff with reading books, expect less and appreciate more, and I'm dropping my agenda and instead remaining open to what naturally wants to emerge on this crazy ride of life.

Wishing you all an awesome wrap up to 2024 as we launch into the new year. Time may well be a made-up construct and we might all be in a simulation but we can still rock it!

Today I saw somebody lying face down in the YMCA pool. He was just floating on his stomach when I saw him, and then the lifeguard jumped in, swam over and felt for a pulse but the guy didn't move so he dragged him to the edge.

Then I noticed there were a bunch of people looking on BUT they were all smiling so I was like "WTF is going on here!?" Then they started clapping, and I realized that what I was actually seeing was a lifeguard training session. It almost gave me a freaking heart attack!

Future facing fella!
