Did “Chinese” for my monthly lunch with my 91yr old Mom, a few days ago .... her fortune was rather funny ( but she didn’t get the joke) ... and mine --- do something unusual tomorrow --- I did! Next morning, asked my wife to shave my face with the electric shaver (its noise absolutely drives her crazy) ... but she accepted the challenge ... about 5mins into the shaving ... we just started laughing .... and laughing ... and laughing... and just like the feline she is, said, “ENOUGH! You finish it” ... and went back to her comfy seat on the sofa!!

How fun is that !* Fortune cookies can lead to needed breaks in our serious world ~~ so glad you followed the cookie. How great to celebrate your mom with ethnic restaurant food. Just the thought of a fun cookie makes me want to run out right now. (PS-I have purchased a box of them once at the Safeway) ~~ searching for that perfect message (wonk, wonk)

You got me wondering what that “perfect message” could be (we Scorpio’s have insatiable, and inevitable curiosity about anything mysterious!) so ... I’m very much looking forward to the reveal in a future post!! //// and getting back to only slightly more serious stuff: latest Frame Lab Substack thoroughly examines the messaging gaffs MTG made, to inadvertently become a Biden spokesperson!!

A timely & effective spokeperson for the middle-class. Who knew?? -- inadvertently playing the 'opposites game' into our court (as in tennis/ basketball). Have to wonder what her cookie said -- that prompted her to come on-board with our effective Commander-in-Chief. Inquiring minds want to know!
