ANNOUNCING: 2024 NFL BETTING SYNDICATE
The NFL preseason kicks off tonight. In celebration of the upcoming pro football season, I’m announcing the continuation of the “LAS VEGAS NFL BETTING SYNDICATE.” All prior investors will be given priority. However, I will also accept as many new first-time investors, as possible. This will be done in two groupings, on a first-come/first-serve basis which will be determined by DATE OF FUNDS RECEIVED. This will be the only criteria to lock up a spot.

MY MESSAGE TO CHRISTIANS “OFFENDED” BY THE PARIS OLYMPICS OPENING
Many Christians say they were “offended” by a short skit performed during opening night of the 2024 Paris Olympics. The fallout still continues a few days later and has even triggered an unnecessary apology by the International Olympic Committee that was released today.

IS THE GLASS HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY?
While dining out last week in downtown Las Vegas, I got into a friendly but serious discussion with someone about how cocktails are frequently served in many bars and restaurants. Bruce Kramer, my longtime associate visiting Las Vegas from Philadelphia was on the other side of the argument.

“DEI”
We’ll be seeing and hearing three letters a lot in the coming weeks and months ahead.
“DEI” is an acronym. It means: (D) diversity, (E) equity, and (I) inclusion. Yet oddly enough, “DEI” is intended by some as a derogatory term. It’s the new hate bait. It’s yet another ultra-conservative dog whistle. It’s MAGA red meat. It’s dangled to trigger sexism and racism. It’s designed to trigger fragile White male egos who simply can’t cope with positions of power and authority going to women or minorities.

Some years ago, if you’d told me I’d change my preferences and habits to this extreme, I’d have said you were crazy. But indeed–I have changed my preferences and habits, and I suspect so too have many of you.
There are lots of things we used to do with some frequency that we simply don’t do anymore, or — we now do them far less often. Many of these things were once pillars of our identity. Now, they’re no longer (as) important.
I don’t share this with any sense of pride, nor do I believe I’m better for the omission. In fact, in each of the examples here, I’m losing something by not doing these same things. However, I also can’t force myself to go back to the way life was before.
Feel free to comment and share. Am I alone in my changing habits and preferences?
