Today, for you, I have a post about the recent news that scientist have brought back from extinction (unextinction) the Dire Wolf. 🐺

It is truly the story of Jurassic Park how this was done. With DNA that was extracted from a sample from the bones of the extinct Dire Wolf and using DNA from modern Grey Wolves to fill in the missing information needed to complete the Dire Wolf DNA sequence, scientist had what was needed to bring from the past into our time an extinct creature.

Since there were no Dire Wolves to give birth to the pups another animal was chosen for “Mom duties” (allegedly a large “hound”).

Six months ago but only recently revealed, the hound produced two male pups “Romulus and Remus” and their sister, a female pup named “Khaleesi”.

Pretty wild as they are beautiful and wild. Here is a video of the recent achievement below:

Today, for you, I have a post about bills.

Paying bills on time is important and I wish I started paying bills in a responsible and smart way earlier in life.

There is no reason for me to have any debt unless I mismanage my finances.

The past couple years I have been doing a great job compared to earlier in life but I can still do better. However I am paying all my obligations on time and/or early and even saving money each month.

Although you do not have any bills currently it is a good idea to start saving money for the future. Not just to buy something but to form what will later be your savings that will transform into your retirement fund.

I wouldn’t suggest committing a specific number but imagine if you saved 10% each month for 50 years.

If you saved even $10 a month it would be without interest $6000 after 50 years. Imagine if it was $100 a month. That would be $60000. If you were putting that money into an account that built with interest at 4 percent a year you would have around $200000❕That is an additional $140000 just by not touching what you saved and letting the interest do the heavy lifting. Even $10 a month with 4% annual interest would compound to around $20000.

Start saving as soon as you can so later in life you can let interest by your ally and not your enemy.

Today, for you, I have a post about the 2025 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship today.

It took place in San Antonio, Texas (beautiful downtown by the way) and featured the Florid Gators against the Houston Cougars.

I watched most of the game and the final 5 minutes were exciting with several lead changes.

It looked like for most of the game Houston was going to win but in sports it is not over until it is over. In the final moments Florida took the lead which was their first lead since 8 minutes into the game.

The final possession belonged to Houston down by two points and they did not get a shot off allowing Florida to secure the 2025 National Title with a 65-63 final score.

I was rooting for MSU but since they did not make it to the Championship I was just hoping for a good game and it was indeed.

Congratulations to the Florida Gators this year’s tournament champions.

Today, for you, I have a post about siblings. You are both a sibling to one another. Whether you are an older sibling or a younger sibling you both have a sibling and are a sibling. I think that is cool.

I to am a sibling and have siblings. I am the eldest so I only have younger siblings. In fact one my younger siblings is a year older today making me feel even older 👴🏿

When I am around my siblings I try to be a good example. I did not always have this approach but I am glad I evolved to appreciate the privilege of being the eldest (first born among siblings).

My siblings are of an age that we would hang out and play together when we were younger but we did not all have similar interest or hobbies. However, later in life our interest aligned and we would hang out as young adults and that is when we began to not just bond but relate to one another.

The plan later today is to celebrate your aunt’s birthday with a family dinner at a steakhouse. I will represent you both today and report back with a photo of the event.

UPDATE: Dinner plans were canceled so here is a picture of your dads brand below

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about walking and not just walking but walking for fun and to commute.

Today after this post I will be walking to yoga. Usually or at least lately I would be taking the bus but today the weather is nice so I will be walking instead. Not only will I get to the studio with time to spare rather than arriving at the last minute via the bus, I will also be able to get some fresh air and light exercise because of it.

Walking also offers potential photo opportunities and when walking I also find it meditative and often a productive time with my thoughts.

It is amazing how quickly you gain strength in your heart and legs when walking even after only a few days.

The health and financial benefits are often obvious when thinking about what is positive about walking but the time spent observing your thoughts is not always highlighted.

In 2025 one of my goals was to walk more recreationally and I am happy to report I have been honoring that intent.

PACIENCIA / PATIENCE = “PATIENCE” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about patience.

Patience is something that I am glad that I am working on. The older I get the more patience I have or at least the higher capacity for patience I possess.

It has served me well practicing patience in many things and in many ways.

The thing that has taught me patience the most is waiting to see you guys. I miss you dearly yet because other factors are involved it is unfortunately not just up to me when it comes to when I see you.

I like how it is said one “practices patience” not just “has” patience. Although it is something we can do (wait), patience in my opinion is something we get better at with practice and the awareness of what it feels like to practice patience and why it is beneficial only comes with experience.

The difference between staring at a clock waiting for something to start or be done and being able to enjoy the present moment and the time in between is having experience with practicing patience.

Good things and great things can often take time. Try not to sour the moments before, during or after by letting that period of time take away from the experience but enhance the experience by utilizing that time period as another positive consideration of appreciation.

The time it took may have been longer than desired but it only made that moment of arrival that much sweeter.

ELEFANTE / ÉLÉPHANT = “ELEPHANT” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about Elephants.

I can’t say for sure that I have or have not seen an Elephant in person because there is a chance I have seen one at a zoo when I was younger but I do not remember. I can say for sure that I do not remember ever seeing an Elephant in person… but I want to.

It would only be cool to see an Elephant in captivity if it was a rehabilitated animal that certainly would not survive in the wild. In fact I really only support an animal exhibit (even in a zoo) if it is a rehabilitated animal or for the preservation of a species to prevent extinction (none exist in the wild).

There are three types of Elephants (I only knew of two) being the African Savanna Elephant (the biggest), African Forrest Elephant (straighter tusks than the Savanna type) and Asian Elephants (smaller ears than African type and often lack tusks especially the females).

It would be cool to observe Elephants in the wild although I would keep my distance.

Here are some interesting facts about Elephants:
1. Largest Land Animals – Elephants are the largest land mammals, with African elephants being the biggest of all.
2. Highly Intelligent – They have incredible memories, can recognize themselves in mirrors, and even show emotions like grief and joy.
3. Long Gestation Period – Female elephants are pregnant for about 22 months, the longest of any land animal.
4. Strong Social Bonds – They live in matriarchal herds, led by the oldest female, and form deep family connections.
5. Massive Appetites – An adult elephant can eat 200–600 pounds of food per day, including grass, fruit, and bark.
6. Incredible Trunks – Their trunks have over 40,000 muscles, allowing them to pick up tiny objects, drink water, and even show affection.
7. Can “Hear” with Their Feet – Elephants can detect vibrations in the ground using sensitive cells in their feet, helping them communicate over long distances.
8. Tusks Keep Growing – Their tusks are actually elongated teeth that continue growing throughout their lives.
9. Cooling System – Their large ears help regulate body temperature by dispersing heat.
10. Deep Emotional Capacity – Elephants mourn their dead, showing behaviors like gently touching and staying with the bodies of deceased herd members.

Do you like Elephants❓

CARRO / VOITURE = “ ” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about my first car, a Pontiac Sunfire. Technically my first car was a Chevy S-10 or even a Cadillac DeVille before having my Sunfire but the Pontiac was the first car that I financed.

Along with the assistance of my grandma I went to the local car dealership and looked at the cars that were in my price range. Initially I was looking for something “cool” but settled on something affordable and the coolest car that I could find in my price range was the Sunfire.

It was silver and it was in good condition. I had intentions to install a premium sound system and eventually I did and ultimately that was more important to me than how the car looked.

If the car was reliable and did not have rust or dents, the thing that I thought to be what best represented my personality the most was not the car itself but how the car sounded when I was blasting my tunes driving around town.

At the time it was popular to have a “sound system” that included an amplified subwoofer that showcased the low frequencies or bass in the music. You could hear my car before you seen it turn down the street and that was how I made an entrance when pulling up to my destination.

I would even think of what song and sometimes even what specific part of a song I wanted to be playing when pulling up, having the music make my introduction to those who did not know me and to those who did a reminder who was arriving.

I have a lot of fond memories of that car and it served me well while I had it. It had a number of things wrong with it by the time it was sold and it was actually sold for more than it was worth while I was in Iraq.

The thing I probably remember most of my first car was not anything in paticular about the car but the memories of certain albums I would listen to while driving. A couple of albums that come to mind are System of a Down’s Toxicity and Tool’s Lateralus.

Do you have any ideas of what you want your first car to be?

GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

DOCUMENTO / DOCUMENT = “DOCUMENT” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about communication but specfically the documentation of communication.

There are many ways to document your thoughts, feelings, messages and all that you might experience including writing, typing, voice (shared to another), audio or video recording and even through symbols just to mention a few.

My favorite way is by typing whether it will be saved via a word processing app, text message or my personal preference, on an upload that will be archived on the internet.

This blog is my favorite thing I have ever done with respect to communication. It documents for me what I am not able to say in person to you so that one day you will be able to hear what it is that I want you to know.

When I am typing something I can almost type as fast as I can talk. I think faster than I talk, I talk faster than I type and I type faster than I write. I do like recording audio messages or video messages but there is something to seeing the words I am thinking and sharing in text so that I am able to review in realtime what it is that I am trying to communicate.

I also enjoy the act of typing. I learned how to type when I was young and at a time when most people did not know how to type. I do not need to look at the keyboard when I am typing so I am able to get what is in my head and on to the “page” quickly and accurately. I recently purchased a new keyboard and I like the way it feels when I type. So even the act of typing is enjoyable.

Do you have a favorite way to document your communication?
