I&#8217;m kind of luxating in the fact that something I was worried was going to disrupt my holiday plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I&#8217;ve said, I&#8217;m looking forward to attending the final Shmoocon.  If I can get tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Am I looking forward to the change in Administration in DC at the end of January?  Mmmm&#8230;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, I didn&#8217;t vote for him, because I have serious questions about how things are going to work with the incredible Federal debt, and looming Social Security problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things like Elon Musk&#8217;s <strike>tweet<\/strike>post should inspire excitement, but it&#8217;s just not there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Milton Friedman was the best <br> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CeLlQnNWHo\">pic.twitter.com\/CeLlQnNWHo<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Elon Musk (@elonmusk) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk\/status\/1859230878234206497?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 20, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I just can&#8217;t find the optimism Elon has.  I still think things are about to get really, really, really bad, and it&#8217;s not primarily because of something the US has done;  sorry Libertarian Institute folks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So.  What else might be interesting?  I don&#8217;t know.  There&#8217;s some interesting teams in the NFL, though there&#8217;s a disgusting uniformity among many of the teams.  It&#8217;s nice to see that what Sean Payton&#8217;s doing in Denver looks to be finally catching on, but there&#8217;s so much else that&#8217;s just dull &#8220;West Coast Offense&#8221;\/Cover-2 zone defense.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am somewhat excited by the potential of some of what I&#8217;m doing work-wise, though I am a bit worried that what I&#8217;ve been tasked with might be overcome by events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the health side, I&#8217;m curious to see what&#8217;s going on with my health, but I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m going to have any real answers until the middle of the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I guess we&#8217;ll see.  But it does feel like a long way off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are You Looking Forwards To Next Year?
