Your side-hustles being given respectful acknowledgment rather-than “why’s he even bothering for such menial money?” throwing it back in your face.

The fine line between jollof rice infused with a bit of nutmeg vs. too much nutmeg in the rice being kept. It’s not always an easy balance to strike and it can sometimes take a bit of experience to keep you on the other side of the line, but when it works it works. It’s just that you’ve got to be more careful with nutmeg than cinnamon if you use either for your jollof.

People who are capable of and willing to meet(ing) you where you're at, on your terms, and not just at their convenience.

The capacity to still be surprised by things about people you know. However intimate you are with someone, you can never know them 100%, and sometimes there’s a lifetime of interesting things and experiences with people that’s just waiting to be tapped into, even when you know them well. You can feel and even be, to a certain extent, close enough to someone to almost anticipate their every move, yet there’s still a reserve of mystery, a corner of their history or personality that can surprise you. It’s what keeps relationships alive, fresh and evolving.

The pronunciation attempt isn't even close to the actual word.

Listening to good Music.

It's become such a big part of my life over the last couple of years.

Same !!


Over many , many years though .


My problem now and it is a real problem.. is that I have about 15,000 tracks on my PC all in artist folders.. but I can’t remember all the brilliant, outstanding tracks so one day soon I will have to go through each folder with groups/ singers starting with A and listen to each song then deciding if its good enough to go in a folder for the BEST songs that I will listen to over and over…

Heck, apple trees. Got one in my family house. Washing them with Roman chamomile and sodium-bicarb., getting them ready to make fresh apple-juice, is a source of contentment.

Seeing people getting passionate about something makes me smile.

Because it does just feel like most people are scared to come out of their shell in a public setting irl.

So I appreciate it when someone will tell me what their passions are, it makes for interesting conversation imo.

I had to change out my PC's speaker system because 1) subwoofer was making it difficult for actual woofer to nap underneath my desk, so wanted that gone and 2) the left speaker wire connection was failing so it really was only one speaker working... it's been like that a while so it was time for a replacement...

Anyway, I changed out to a small soundbar that just happens to do RGB lighting. It has a mode that when audio is coming through, it lights up with the audio...

The speaker:



I had a Windows alarm going off when I walked into the office so my daughter walks up to it and looks at it and asks "Is it talking?"

And all I could think about was this:







...



Such a great show.
