A Short Political Note
By Monday, I think we will see that President Biden will step aside to allow someone to take the torch to run for president. It is my hope that Kamala Harris will be the chosen one to do it and her Vice-President will be someone who is also ready to lead. If I am wrong I am OK with that. It is being realistic and pragmatic to act now. Loyalty to the country should come ahead of loyalty to a party or person. Too much is at stake.

AEW Dynamite 250
Tonight is the 250th episode of All Elite Wrestling (AEW) flagship show “Dynamite”. This is my favorite wrestling show alongside their other shows “Rampage” and “Collision” which air on Friday and Saturday nights. Professional wrestling is my favorite sport for many reasons I will share in another post. Congratulations to Tony Khan and the entire AEW team for great pro wrestling action each week!

Christmas In July Beats Depressing Politics
We are watching Hallmark Channel Christmas movies over the Republican/Trump National Convention. It’s way more fun and heartwarming. Normally I don’t advocate putting my head in the sand but this is an exception for mental health and other reasons. Also, their Christmas movies provide a reminder of cooler days ahead. Christmas in July is also a great thing and everyone should do it.
This Says It All About Mondays
This says it all about Mondays. Some Mondays feel like a week rolled up into one day. Today wasn’t like that but some days are very much like that.
