Thanksgiving Goals

Thanksgiving Goals

Thanksgiving goals for this year? 🤔

I try to do it right.

  • Arrive fashionably late
  • Don’t say anything too sarcastic or rude at the dinner table
  • Overeat turkey, and everything else
  • Go back for seconds until I feel pain in my stomach
  • Fall asleep watching the Dallas Cowboys game
  • Survive until dinner watching the kids play
  • Eat 1/3 an apple pie for dinner
  • Stay up late watching movies
  • Shower and pass out in bed

Be incredibly thankful for a day – and a life – like this.

Absurd And Fantastic

Absurd And Fantastic

Can you imagine a chat between Larry Page and Elon Musk?

I mean, I know how off the rails many of my late-night talks get.

I bet they are absurd and fantastic…

I am not sure why, but it makes me think of that late-night scene from Succession for some reason.

Some of the conversations between Musk and Page take place at a secret apartment Google owns in downtown Palo Alto. It’s inside of one of the taller buildings in the area and offers views of the mountains surrounding the Stanford University campus. Page and Brin will take private meetings at the apartment and have their own chef on call to prepare food for guests. When Musk is present, the chats tend toward the absurd and fantastic.
