The Final Countdown

We are in the final week of 2025. Amazing! How cool is it that we survived a whole 'nother year? Well, I think it's very cool, and if you don't...well, you know what to do [first word rhymes with duck and second word rhymes with cough). Because...PUNK ROCK!

OK, so, let's get into it. Life is good. I attribute that to adhering to a vegan diet and exercising just about every day this past year. I've also minimized the presence of negativity and drama in my life, mainly by abstaining from social and mainstream media (SMSM), the source of 95% of the world's toxicity. I highly encourage everyone to give up SMSM for a week or two and see how beneficial and positive it is. You might never go back. But...of course you can't do that! You're addicted to SMSM (as most people are, so you are not alone). If you doubt that, try giving up SMSM for a week or two. Or even a day. See what I mean? That anxiety you feel about quitting SMSM...that ADDICTION! The exact same anxious feeling drug addicts feel when faced with giving up their addictions.

Well, I can lead a horse to water, but my responsibility ends there. So, do whatever you want!

The past year has been pretty good. My successful private practice in marriage and family therapy had its best year yet, I think, in terms of number of people helped with their mental health and relationships AND the business's bottom line (these two things are, of course, highly correlated). We went to Australia early in the year and that triggered the process of Deborah applying for her Australian Partner Visa (the partner, of course, being ME...a dual US/AUS citizen). We got that application finalized and submitted last week, right before the holidays. There are a few minor steps to work through yet, but most of the tough work is done.

I'm not going to lie...I like Motorhead. They are a kickass band and the music is deliciously raw rock-n-roll. I bring that up, seemingly randomly, because I have Pandora on right now and a Motorhead song just came on (the Pandora station is actually Iggy Pop Radio, though). This music is inspiring me to go down into the Rock Cave and practice some music today. I have the day off and the list of chores I need to get through is not exhaustive, so I should have time.

Speaking of time...it's time for me to sign off, so I can go and take care of said chores and rocking.

Take care.

The End.
