Well, my daddy left home when I was three. Didn’t leave very much to my mom and me. Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze. Now I don’t blame him 'cause he run and hid but the meanest thing that my daddy ever did was before he left, he went and named me Sue.

“Oh my God. It’s a… Giant rampaging blur!”

On one hand, it’s better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you wish you were alone. I learned this the hard way.

On the other hand, to have companionship is wonderful. I was almost 30 before I met the love of my life. She is a VERY quiet person. To the point where it was a little unnerving at first. One day, for some reason, she mustered the courage to ask me out on a date. I didn’t know how big a deal that was for her at the time. But I know from experience that dudes don’t get asked out often and I was impressed. That was almost 10 years ago.

She’s learned how to open up a lot more. She’s still quiet, quieter than me anyway, but she can also be a lot of fun. More importantly, she’s a good and honorable person, a good mom, and great wife. She’s my best friend and I’m grateful that I get to share my life with her.

I believe they’re referring to “Cantoring”, wherein parts of the liturgy are sung by the priest/minister.

Some Protestant churches also do this.

Me: “Oh no! Anyway…”

💍 Excited to Announce My Next Chapter

To my soon-to-be life partner and key stakeholder —

After extensive due diligence and a multi-year vetting process, I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted your proposal and am ready to onboard as your spouse, effective immediately.

When we first connected, I wasn’t actively looking. But sometimes the best opportunities find you.

You came into my life at a pivotal inflection point, and I knew — after just a few touchpoints — that our synergies were undeniable. Your core competencies complement my growth areas in ways I never anticipated. Together, our combined bandwidth is truly greater than the sum of our parts.

Today, I want to publicly commit to the following KPIs for our partnership:

• 📈 Continuous investment in your personal and professional development
• 🤝 Showing up as a collaborative thought partner, especially during Q4 of life
• 💡 Bringing my authentic self to every interaction, even the difficult ones
• 🔄 Iterating on our relationship with a growth mindset and radical transparency
• 🏆 Celebrating your wins as loudly as I celebrate my own — if not louder

I don’t take this role lightly. I know there will be challenges. Pivots. Moments where we need to realign on our shared vision. But I am fully committed to doing the work, leaning in, and never letting perfect be the enemy of good.

You are not just my partner. You are my north star, my biggest champion, and honestly? The best culture fit I have ever encountered.

I am so grateful to the mentors, connectors, and mutual connections who helped us get here. You know who you are.

Here’s to building something truly disruptive — together. 🥂

I’m open to questions. Let’s connect.

Same. It’s cheap, It tastes like mostly water, but at least it’s ice cold.

Lol we’re no fans of the packers either.

We all make mistakes sometimes.

She’s still a rookie. Mine already imploded her second marriage. Working on the third last I heard.

Walmart acquired Vizio with the express purpose of using TV’s to serve ads. In fact, that is exactly what they said they were going to do.

No surprises here.

Gotta move every couple years just to de-clutter.

Imagine working that hard to bring about Christ’s return only to get a “yeah… I don’t know you, buddy. Sorry.” from Jesus.

If my math is right, that comes out to roughly $10 USD per gallon. Ouch.

I’m convinced that some people’s brains never fully develop.
