Yes to all. Lost close family members due to death and other drama in recent years. Retired as soon as I could in my mid 50s in order to live the rest of my life on my own terms. Relationships lost and broken are tough. Adventures passed by are forever gone but new ones are ahead
I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their: • Biggest Regrets • Biggest Lessons • Advice to their younger self Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same… Here are my top 8:

Many doctors, scientists and researchers have dedicated a lifetime to reach this stepping stone. Millions of dollars of taxpayer funded grants and public-private partnerships have made this possible. The human collective can do wondrous things when we focus on the greater good.
We just crossed a line in medicine that humanity has been walking toward for a hundred years. For the first time, doctors can take a biopsy of your specific tumor, read its unique DNA mutations — the exact fingerprint no other cancer on earth shares — and build a custom mRNA blueprint written for one human being. Yours. It doesn't poison the cancer. It teaches your own immune system what to hunt. And this week, Phase 3 results confirmed it works. Added to the best immunotherapy we already had, this individualized cancer vaccine has been dramatically cutting the odds that high-risk melanoma comes back. In the earlier data, the combination reduced the risk of recurrence or death by 49%, and the risk of the cancer spreading to distant organs by 62%, compared to the standard treatment alone. This week's Phase 3 readout confirmed the benefit holds. That is not a modest tweak. That is a different trajectory for a human life. And melanoma is just the first door. The same approach is now in trials across lung, bladder, and kidney cancers — a whole program of them, racing forward. Understand what this actually means, because it's bigger than one drug. For all of history, we fought cancer with blunt weapons. Cut it out. Burn it with radiation. Flood the whole body with chemotherapy and hope the cancer dies before the patient suffers too much. We were swinging a hammer in the dark. This is a blueprint. A weapon designed atom by atom for one person's disease, that turns their own body into the thing that finds and destroys it. We are watching medicine shift from managing cancer to hunting it. I've spent my life as a physician, and I did not expect to see this so soon. We were told personalized cancer vaccines were a thirty-year dream. They are happening right now, in real patients, with real data, in our lifetime. I don't say this lightly, and I say it as a doctor who knows exactly how rare these moments are: this is one of the most hopeful things to happen in the history of the field. I woke up thinking of the words of the morning prayer — Modeh Ani — I thank You. Gratitude, the moment you open your eyes, for a soul returned and a day given. To be alive at the exact hour when human beings learned to teach the body to cure itself feels like standing inside that prayer. We are not at the end of cancer. But we are, unmistakably, at the beginning of the end of its reign.

As a chef and service worker and former high end hotel employee, I can tell you that when you pay for sex it shouldn’t be out of town when you’re at a resort in the mountains where every member of staff knows who you are….
As a lawyer and former attorney general of my state, I can tell you that when you get immunity—you can’t invoke the Fifth. Fauci came in and invoked the Fifth because he is guilty as all get out I look forward to voting YES to hold Fauci in contempt next week.

My good friend Eric lost his son Adam in 2010. His family and small community was so proud when he became a Navy Seal. We were all there together when Adam came home to be buried. We are thinking about you and others like you who lost their lives when serving.

This is not how the American system of government or Presidency is supposed to work. It's way past time that the grown ups are put back in charge. Unfortunately this is also how some Governors/legislators run their state. See MO as an example.
Trump approved disaster aid for Alaska, Nebraska, and North Dakota, while denying requests from Vermont, Illinois, and Maryland. He bragged about winning those states “BIG,” saying it’s his honor to deliver for “incredible patriots.” apnews.com/article/fema-trum…
