We move from a heartfelt goodbye to Joe into a messy, funny, and hopeful tour of daily life—folding canes, sunny sidewalks, Tom Hanks’ steady humor, and a sharp look at scare tactics in cannabis coverage. Community shows up in distilleries making sanitizer, remote teams learning to talk better, and taking the long road without social media blasts.

• remembering Joe and talking honestly about loss
• the folding cane, aging pride, and small aids that help
• spring scenes from a neighborhood keeping distance
• Tom Hanks’ calm update, Vegemite, and levity
• critiquing cannabis scare headlines and separating hemp
• real uses of hemp from fiber to bioplastics
• remote work habits that rely on trust and clarity
• distilleries pivoting to hand sanitizer for communities
• joy in simple films and ignoring noisy critics
• choosing word of mouth over social media promotion
• NAPA nostalgia, political satire, and everyday greatness

It ain't all bad, and no I'm not going to fix that spellcheck (ain't).

Listen, life sucks. You will die. Do your best to make it suck less for others & you'll be amazed at how quickly your sthi turns around. Just sayin'.

Keep it 'tween the ditches, my friends. Keep being great & doing great things!
