Good Morning -your weekly AMA thread now open
Now serving customer number 1513 - Ask a question and I’ll give you an answer, however you might not like the answer. But at least it will be factual...
Remember the only dumb question is the one that’s not asked. I have a weekly Teams Call but I should be mostly available after 9AM DC local time - so ask away or simply enjoy this moment of namaste …or not
“The Ocean has its silent caves,
Deep, quiet, and alone;
Though there be fury on the waves,
Beneath them there is none.
The awful spirits of the deep
Hold their communion there;
And there are those for whom we weep,
The young, the bright, the fair.
Calmly the wearied seamen rest
Beneath their own blue sea.
The ocean solitudes are blest,
For there is purity.
The earth has guilt, the earth has care,
Unquiet are its graves;
But peaceful sleep is ever there,
Beneath the dark blue waves…” Nathaniel Hawthorne
If that doesn’t do the trick, you guys do know that I have a running YouTube playlist, right?
For the record I managed to convince the family that the loss in our rental income (damn you Covid-19) could be offset by simply enjoying the house for an extended Spring Break. The perks of both of us 100% telecommuting and distance learning for the littles.
Gotta make lemonade out of lemons.
Plus I’m in dire need my stress relief, which mainly consists of me jumping into a body of water and screaming at the top of my lungs. Heck yes for the solar heated pool too. Hopefully with a change in scenery I’ll have a change in mood - because I’ve been kind of burnt out and frustrated and I’m certain that’s reflecting in my recent articles.

Oh man do I ever need a trip to the water to reboot after the ooginess of the last year. I am both very jealous, and glad you are getting a chance to recharge yourself. I can not wait to the beach and get some crabs, fries, and fishers popcorn. Also boardwalk pizza places.
Something about the ocean waves that can always bring some peace and perspective. Plus, personally, floating in a pool is as close to pain free as I get. I bet a solar warmed one would be 🔥.
Enjoy!
