I love closing out the year with this. 😊

On December 31, 1995, exactly 27 years ago today, legendary cartoonist Bill Watterson published his final 'Calvin and Hobbes' comic strip.

How beautiful and appropriate it was, and a timeless reminder of what we have before us in 2023. ❤️

Happy New Year, ya'll!

One of many delightful surprises in Seneca's letters to Lucilius: his advocacy of HIIT training.

Paraphrasing Letter 15:

"Daily vigorous exercise is important; the mind works best within a healthy body.

"But keep it short! Don't be like the gym rats who flail away at improving their common animal parts for hours every day. They do disservice to their god-given minds, robbing time from daily study.

"Look, why not take a brisk walk—and have a nice think while doing it?"

There were three men came out of the West
Three kings both great and high
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon must die.

They took a tank and ran him down
With bullets in his head
And they have sworn a solemn oath
John Mastodon was dead

But when the Spring came kindly on
And showers began to fall
John Mastodon got up again
And did surprise them all...
