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”?
We went to the Dunedin Celtic Festival last weekend and had our usual fare - haggis. It’s known as the official meal of Scotland. It’s essentially organ meats cooked in sheep’s stomach. Yum! My dad, Dr Chip, explains (while wearing a kilt) why haggis is so healthy. And if you don’t like haggis, you can get some similar nutrition in the cod liver/butter oil I take daily - link below!

Carla the hen is a very special chicken. She doesn’t eat store bought feed out of some dirty bucket! No my friends, she dines 5 stars.⭐️
I discovered that our mini Nubian goat, Sundae, had a tick on her teat while milking her yesterday. Thankfully Lynn had to pull a few off himself in combat with unique tricks and we successfully recovered the tick, head intact.

Before Germany's 3rd Reich, there was the 2nd. Which nobody talks about. The 2nd was the tactical model for the 3rd. And evil as homemade sin!
Much of the same is happening today, under other names And the USA is party to it.
