What is leadership?  Does it matter?  Who's showing it and how?  How many times can Trent be interrupted and maintain his train of thought?  (Spoiler Alert:  2.5)

We're suffering a real dearth of leadership (and an excess of vocabulary) these days...and I've got real issues with this new reality.

We can do this...together.

It's been a long 97 months...wait...nine days?  NINE DAYS!?!  Holy smokes, how are we gonna get thru this?  Well...I've got some ideas.  Some good, some...less good.  But we gotta start somewhere.  Talking about deportations and the fallout you weren't thinking about and the ultimate power grab by Trump...freezing spending in violation of the laws and constitution of this country.  Surely there's pushback for this obviously impeachable offense?  Surely...surely...sure...dammit.

Well, I still love you all.  Fight on.

Back in action after a month of family and being disconnected from the interwebs by choice, TTO is back and talking DEI and "wokeness" in an effort to explain in plain language what conservatives are truly saying.

Just another imperfect day, right?  

Love and defiance,

Back from a week of illness/priorities, this week is all about budgets.  How do they work?  What does the government's budget look like?  How do you simultaneously produce massive tax cuts while promising massive spending cuts that don't touch social security, medicare or the military?  (You can't, it's impossible)

Has America been sold a vision of prosperity that is complete bullsh!t?  

I certainly think so.

Enjoy with anything 80+ proof without mixer...or a very strong tea if you're not the drinking type.

Love,

Creepy, cool, or both?  You decide.

Have a listen, a laugh and pair with a hot buttered rum and a pie of pie...or a donut...or Danish...cinnamon roll...holy cow I'm hungry!

Happy Holidays!

Such a complex and confusing world we have built to live in.  What does it mean to make mistakes, learn from them, and gain experience which improves your judgement?

How do we use better judgement to be better leaders?

These are important discussions to have, people!  

Love, Peace and Bobby Sherman

Joe pardons Hunter, country loses collective sh!t in outrage over abuse of power and a president "lying"...smh.

Keep that same energy for what's on tap, people.  The next guy is gonna redefine "abuse of power."

But is there a lesson to be learned not just from Joe Biden's actions, but also from the reactions of the media en masse?  I believe there is.

Enjoy.

The kind of Christmas tree choosing advice you just can't find just anywhere.  Artifical vs natural in a battle for yuletide supremacy.

And a lot of flocking around.

Have a laugh, and enjoy with a special christmas release beer or a hot buttered rum.

Happy Holidays,

What does it mean to win?  Or to lose?  How often do those things actually matter?  And is the most important thing how we respond to winning or losing?  

Learning never goes out of style.  Be kind to each other and feel free to share with a friend...or enemy, I guess.  

Love and thoughtfulness,

Well well well...that's bad, isn't it?  This episode covers the emotions we feel after the results of this election (if you're here I'm assuming you're not MAGA material), which are painful.  Discussing what happened in the election and why the results ended up being what they are.  And finally an up and down look at what to do next.

Not for the faint of heart today (or in the future should you save it for a sunnier moment).  

Remember to be good humans, walk the walk while you talk the talk, and be kind.

With Love,
