Even if nobody asked…..
1. “You know how when you get back from being away and you say, ‘Ah, it’s good to be home’? Yeah, I have none of that right now.” My wife Trish with a cup of coffee staring out the window on the rainy, cold New England morning where she did NOT wake up in Florida.
2. If you’re “giving back”, what is it that you took in the first place? Who did it belong to originally?
3. Lesson that I’ve learned the hard way: Ignore dogs that bark but be alert for the charging dog that ISN’T barking. That’s the dangerous one.
4. Everything I have of value has come from being willing to put an END to something.
5. Parents can’t name their newborn daughter Alexa and Siri anymore, can they?
6. Sebastian Maniscalco is funny because of his voice and mannerisms. Nate Bargatze is funny because of his material and delivery. (Dane Cook was NEVER funny, his audiences were just drunk and underage.)
7. What you do on your BAD days matters more than what you do on your GOOD days.
8. Buy your cars two years old and sell them after two years. Absolute the best value possible. (This advice does not apply to socks and underwear.)
9. If you lack PEACE, you lack WISDOM. This is why people who are yelling or having a meltdown (live or prerecorded 😎) should be ignored.
10. “I only drink a little, but when I do, I become a different person, and that person drinks a lot.” The great Nelson DeMille, who always made me laugh in his novels. Gifted man. Sold 58 million books. Died in September at age 81.
