Quitting my TV news career has come with many benefits but perhaps none as important as how it has affected my ability to parent. My relationship with the Producer would have consisted of about an hour in the morning (stressed about what I’d cover that day) and an hour at night (still stressed about what went wrong with my report that day). I’ve started “Hold On to Your Kids” by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Maté and I highly recommend it. They describe the era since World War II as one where peers have taken over the role of parenting, calling it “peer orientation”. They write, “Orientation, the drive to get one’s bearings and become acquainted with one’s surroundings, is a fundamental human instinct and need. Disorientation is one of the least bearable of all psychological experiences. Attachment and orientation are inextricably intertwined. Humans and other creatures automatically orient themselves by seeking cues from those to whom they are attached.” This has also got me thinking about my pressing question about why so many journalists prefer group think over curiosity. Are we adults also suffering from “peer orientation”?
Peter couldn’t be happier, he is back with his woman after 7 long months! (What did you think I was talking about?)
I could only go to Wise Traditions for one day (really 6 hours) due to childcare conflicts but it was so great to spend some time with my buddies at Green Pasture! I love their products (as you well know) but I also just love them!

What would it look like to get in-depth information about farms and the food system from those trying to regenerate it all? I met up with Texas Slim of The Beef Initiative at Wise Traditions.

Tell me how you feel in one picture or one word. Here’s mine. And yes, Soleil did this to herself this morning and yes, she freed herself as I was about to cut down the gate. Goats, man…🙄

2 meaningful questions. In literally the last 5 minutes to the Federal Reserve Chair
1) When will regular people feel the "strong economy" in their wallet?
Jerome Powell's answer was a total head fake. Claiming people need higher wages. They literally cut rates. Prices will continue to rise.
2) Will stagflation come.
Another head fake answer, acting like it is not a big worry.
Basically, the ponzi scheme is still "working". So, no need for breaks 😱
