Remember my “dog culture out of control” tweet? It got 1.5 million views. Check this out:
American spend on pets reached $186B in 2023, more than was spent on childcare. The industry is growing at 11% a year — nearly 2x pace of overall consumer spend — and is estimated to reach $260B by 2030 (with greater millenial/Gen-Z pet ownership).

Game 132 of the 2023 @TinCaps season with a playoff birth on the line! If we win, we are in! If West Michigan loses, we are in! The job by our manager Johnny Mathews has been AMAZING this year! 4-15 in April & 16 player promotions to AA and we are still in it on the final day! – at Indiana, USA

Lean in on these opportunities. I joined at 34 was asked to join board. Later asked how do I position to become president and then started picking the brains of several past presidents. I wanted to know what they knew. Fort Wayne Chapter | 100+ financial…lnkd.in/gzfccb3X

The Midwest Taught Me: 1. How to smell a storm 2. Dress in layers 3. Expect four seasons in an hour 4. How to drive in the snow and rain 5. Olympic level Cornhole skill 6. To tie something down to the point “it’s not going anywhere” 7. Less than a 16 hour drive? don’t fly

Happy December Solstice to all life forms on Earth. The Northern Hemisphere's longest night. The Southern Hemisphere's longest day. And for the equator, caught between, a day like any other.

On a walk with my grandson a group of ladybugs lighted upon us. It was delightful and I realized I haven't given the mysterious world of insects enough heed. I vow to change that. Did you know a group of ladybugs is called a "loveliness?" How poetic. How true. How perfect.

There's nothing pithy one can say that sums up a century anniversary since WW1 ended.The worst thing about it I can think of it that it wasn't the "war to end all wars".It should have been.Enough people paid the price.Try to appreciate what today represents.Its hard to imagine.
