Your response is EXACTLY why I shared this here. I genuinely thank you for your response, and enjoyed it very much.

I'm closer to speaking with a psychiatrist about medication than I've been in 20 years.

Please do it. There's no shame. Only hope. Be patient with yourself and with the medication. We're here for you.

16 feet isn’t much compared to where it should be… but it’s something.

A proverbial drop in the bucket.

The year I had to move to Phoenix was the same year we had watering restrictions in Denver (and had had for two years). Pulled into the Phoenix metro area to see sprinklers just swinging away in every yard. Screw Phoenix.

The desert was never really meant to be farmed. Are engineers badasses who managed to bring water to the most remote reaches of the American west? Hell yes they are.

Should we be golfing where grass can’t naturally grow or raising beef (a VERY water intensive process) in the desert? My vote is a hell no.

WHAT SORCERY IS THIS

weedski it’s your day

Hahahahahaha. Indeed.

I wonder if 4/20 events will start to dwindle as more and more places legalize, and the day becomes "less of a thing"

Have you every bombed three fairly big things at work... in a row... on the same day?

I have. I'll go crawl under a rock for the afternoon.

You need an antigen test within a day of travel that needs to be administered in some official capacity

Most airports have these now. I spent $20 in Milan for a q-tip up the nose. (but I just checked SFO for an upcoming trip will be $75 - so plan accordingly)

and I will be recording the conversation because that feels slimy as all hell.

Lucky for you Georgia has a “one-party consent” wiretapping law for audio recordings of conversations.

and that shit's not music...

I'm in a real, real weird place.

Home is great. Healthy, relatively wealthy (by whole world standards).

Work is great. Challenging, but that's a good thing.

Physically not so great. I've been walking. Probably need to lift or do something to further strengthen this aging bag of bones. Biking season is back too.

Emotionally - I gotta figure some stuff out. I'm like... mid 40s, but I feel like I'm 25 and I find myself looking to people much younger than me for answers and approval on work stuff. It's weird. I do not have the confidence I feel like I should have at this point in my life and my career. I gotta figure some stuff out.

yes.

yes.

yes.
