Kid said he didn’t like the barley. Then proceeded to eat four bowls. Actions speak louder than words. #foodstr #dadstr

Happy new year to all you jazz artists. Somehow Americans perfected an odd combination of stubbornness and adaptability. I appreciate you. Stay frosty, stay flexible.

Spending time implies you get something valuable in return. If you don’t spend your time, someone else will.

The more someone you don’t have a relationship with tries to gather others’ time and attention, the less you should spend on them. The more he tries to gain your attention, individually, the more you should spend on him in turn, until you understand his motivations, then adjust accordingly.

Do not listen to the “very smart” pessimists with their stats at-hand about how many resolutions fail two weeks into the year. What they don’t tell you is that failing at these is loads better than never trying. Resolutions are an opportunity to learn something about yourself, take it. #resolutions

We’re getting into New Year goals season. Here’s what I got for 2026: Stay healthy, be productive, refocus my energies closer to home. Stay healthy: keep my baseline fitness going but improve my eating habits and flexibility some while disregarding health traps. I got sucked into health maxing a bit this past year and it was exhausting with very little perceived benefit. Less is more here in 2026. Be productive: produce something new, tangible and appreciated once a month. Lots of ideas in 2025. Time to make some of them exist in 2026. Refocus my energies: I spent too much time in 2025 focused on issues or people far from friends and family. I ended up having very little effect on them and little to show for my efforts. In 2026 my energy and attentions are being spent closer to home. That’s it. These three things and I bet you I will come out of 2026 a better person for it. Cheers! #introductions #resolutions
