Caught up with a very close childhood friend this week. He later texted this quote to me. I’ve never watched Star Wars, but this quote hits hard. “A friend need not be kept either within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if the paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his presence. For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.” - Star Wars supervillain Supreme Admiral Thrawn

I am intrigued by your vision of a citadel. Can’t wait to hear more about it.

Today, I canceled my 4:00 Zoom meeting for this. I have zero regrets.

It was really cool to see how passionate and professional these Air Force vets were. They were a diverse group - age, class (rank), race, etc. - who worked together to improve their community. Something to be learned from that for the rest of us, myself included.

Alamogordo, New Mexico We designed the foundation and pedestal for this recently completed F4 display. A proud group of veterans in the community raised the money and organized the efforts to make it happen. 🇺🇸

Plainview, Levelland, Littlefield, Brownfield…very accurately named towns around us. No place to sled and you can watch your dog run away for a week.
