I don’t want to be the star of the show. I prefer to be the person behind the scenes doing the work that helps make the person in the spotlight look good. Most folks want to be Maverick, I want to be Goose. I don’t want to be President Bartlett, I was to be Leo McGary. I don’t need the recognition, but it helps to know that I’m appreciated.
Maybe guys in my position aren’t supposed to reveal this, but one thing that hurts a lot is to see how effortlessly my ex has moved on with her life.
The bill allows schools to use a volunteer or employ chaplains “to provide support, services, and programs for students as assigned by the board of trustees of the district or the governing body of the school.” A school district can use funds allocated for school safety and security to support chaplains in their role, the same funds used for other counselors. Schools now have six months to vote on policies to either deny or allow chaplains into their schools.
This 60 Minutes Australia piece was interesting. I don’t think our reporters get some of this access. The general speaks like Bill Belichick and the Chinese representative talks like Donald Trump.

At last night’s small group, an older gentleman from South Bend said when he was growing up, most school bus drivers owned their own school bus. That’s news to me, and kinda neat.
Why you should travel solo this summer – This is something I struggle with. I always felt happiness is better when shared, so I have the inclination that I have to share experiences with someone rather than by myself.
That was an ugly Stars game last night. As much as a homer as I am, there are no excuses for Jamie Benn’s actions.
I’ve been on a soft-serve ice cream kick as of late.
It’s the last week of school. On a couple of days, my kids only go half a day. The kids have asked if I could pick them up and bring them to my house. They asked that two years ago, but their mother said no. Instead, she had her mother and sister drive two hours away to watch the kids in her apartment. For some reason, she thought that was better than the kids staying with their father for a few hours in their own house. That still hurts. Obviously that wasn’t in the kids’ best interests, she just wanted to hurt me.
Just randomly thinking about what my dad used to carry with him daily and how much I don’t. Things found in my father’s pocket on a daily basis
Wallet (rear pocket)
Comb (rear pocket with the wallet)
Folded Handkerchief (also in the rear pocket)
Change (coins)
Small pocket knife
Set of keys (key to two cars, house keys, office keys, etc.)
Lighter (cigarettes went into a shirt pocket)
I’m just a novice hockey fan, but the Stars have played well enough to beat the Golden Knights in both games.
My fellow P1s will be happy to know Bob Sturm signed a new contract with The TICKET. There are no details, but we’re thankful to know he’ll be around for a while. It’s also been great following his career as he achieves all these successes.
It seems like everybody is watching Succession. Maybe I’m missing out. I’ve watched the first two episodes and it didn’t pull me in. Also, I think I’m looking for something that’s a bit more positive and optimistic about life.
TX AG Ken Paxton Going After Hotel Chain Hidden Fees
Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Hyatt Hotels Corporation for allegedly engaging in deceptive advertising practices in violation of the state’s consumer protection laws. The lawsuit specifies the practice of charging consumers mandatory hidden fees, such as resort fees or destination and amenity fees on top of the advertised room rate.
Here’s how I used AI to clone a 60 Minutes correspondent’s voice to trick a colleague into handing over her passport number. I cloned Sharyn’s voice then manipulated the caller ID to show Sharyn’s name with a spoofing tool. The hack took 5 minutes total for me to steal the info. https://t.co/bYUooZWOiH
