Perhaps my favorite picture from Edinburgh recently.
The peak of Arthur's Seat looms in the background, while a trail invites you to hike onwards.

Often this is a result of having kids. Other times, it is a sign of a life well-lived.

Trump is promising prices will come down, the Iran War will end, and every adult will get a check, IF Republicans win the midterms… If he's currently president and Republicans control Congress, why wouldn’t they do this BEFORE the election?! Because it's all a lie. 😎✨

As a grandparent, I must agree. Don't be a horrible person and this isn't an issue 99% of the time.

I've gotten my 60+ YO friends on a weekly video call to do stretching, balance and strength exercises. Also, am teaching karate 3 nights a week. Feels like I am doing retirement OK.

Not original, however I wholeheartedly agree.

A souvenir from Edinburgh. Whisky old enough to vote.
A mostly full bottle of 18 year old single malt whisky. Speyside.

Love that he still does this! Saw him maybe 8 yrs ago in the audience during the DUMB tour doing this and it was hilarious. Super nice dude too!

Had drinks in a pub last week that is twice as old as the US. It was pretty interesting to consider what Old means. And yes, the beer was fantastic.

If my thoughts are ping-ponging all over the place I try to imagine something simple. Like a lemon. Maybe dice. and focus on the details. The feel of the edges of the dice. The smell of the lemon skin. It slows the racing thoughts down.

The 40-hour work week. The weekend itself. Lifesaving safety standards. Organized labor has changed our country for the better. This Labor Day, we recognize the achievements of our unions and the workers who make the American way of life possible.

looks like the guy they diverted the plane into Baltimore for. Of course there were racial epithets and antisocial behavior involved. On his part. Kudos to the crew and passengers.

We spent about a week up north in a little town; Munlochy. Didn't spend much time in Edinburgh besides touring the castle. Would recommend going way the F up north, past Inverness. Wild and weird. We want to go hiking again in the Cairngorms too.

Indeed. Ours was pals with, and protected his cat buddies. They'd all go on walks happily together. Share food even. Loved my son's dog. But outside that...
