I have held off on announcing this publicly. I have Parkinsonism. It started with tremors, teeth gnashing, jaw clamping and stuttering. Led to headaches & brain fog. My wife works in Sanford Neurology. She got me an appointment and sat in with me to make sure I told the Neurologist everything.

Because absolutely no one asked, here are my top 100 #comicbooks of all time 1. Fables 2. The Sandman 3. Strangers in Paradise 4. Charles Schultz Peanuts 5. Bone 6. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns 7. Watchmen 8. Hickman Marvel-verse 2008-2016 9. Calvin and Hobbes 10. Tom King Batman

So, I'm doing a thing "You are receiving this information because you have been elected as a delegate from Minnehaha County to the South Dakota Democratic Party State Convention on June 6, 2026."

I believe that protection of the *brand*, corporate and personal, has done more to hurt American Athletes on the world stage than help. It removes spontaneity, freedom of expression, joy and emotion while adding unrealistic expectations, duality, marketing plans and detachment.

If you only do good to avoid eternal damnation, a fucking reward system, then Universal Healthcare, free school lunches, affordable housing & other basic altruistic behaviors seem foreign to you. The cult starts in Sunday Scool and spreads like a fucking tumor.
