I woke up anxious and even a bit angry this morning…an old habit from the past that has diminished somewhat as I've recovered. And then it hit me…I have a 7:30 meeting that I'm leading and I'm not ready. I have an 8:45 Masters Ski group workout and if I'm not prompt the group takes off without me. I have a critical board meeting at noon, and I haven't covered the materials. And I have guests coming for a week on Sunday, so I'll partially lose control of my schedule. That may be the worst. My response was to schedule a group dinner during the week so I'd keep in touch with some of my new friends in town. A bad pairing…NYC friends and mountain town friends. What do you cook???

She WAS playing to win—but didn't have the staying power or the chops to achieve what she so urgently desired. She wanted the strange stew of power/fortune/fame reserved for Internet influencers. The poor kid. She got stuck with me! No...
Vance and Trump: we’re meeting daily and crushing Iran. It’s great. The supreme leaders are quaking in their sandals.
Iran: Witkoff and Jared are idiots and can’t be trusted. We will never send senior leaders to meet with them.
