I want to give everybody an idea of what things are like in my life on a daily basis. I have a home health aid, she comes in three days a week, cleans the house, prepares meals, does laundry, things like that. That part is fine. The bonus part, if you will, is in order to have a home health aid, as mandated by the insurance company, you have to have nurses come in and out of here every two to three months. And case managers every two to three months to make sure everything's fine. I'm stable health-wise. But a lot of people in this building are not stable health-wise. And this is why the rules were created for that purpose. The other day when I was trying to prepare and get going here, I got interrupted because the phone rang and it was one of the nurses wanted to make sure I was okay. Completely ruined my flow. And it's annoying. The thing is, if I don't have these nurses and the case manager come in and out of here, I can't have home health care service. It's a damned if you do and damned if you don't kind of problem. Sitting next to me, I have a Yamaha E PSR 383. One of the features of this keyboard, and for those that don't know, it's called a beginner keyboard, it's called an arranger. And one of the features is that you can create your own styles to program into the keyboard with some software help. I have done that. The only problem is that once you get the styles in the keyboard, you need to slot them in the proper memory slots. And that requires cited help. I have yet to get these styles slotted so I can use them. I've asked several people to do it for me, and nobody could figure out how to do it. It's so frustrating. We lost two people this week. Larry Christensen, 1980 World Series champ, has died at 72. Dolly Parton dies at 80. So let me tell everybody what's going on in the next couple of weeks, maybe in the next week or so, for the very first time ever. I am possibly going to be able to go on New Jersey 101.5 live in studio. I know Steve Trevilise, and I've known him since his kids were tiny, and they're now in college. So I spoke to Steve and told him I would love to come in and sit in on the show for about an hour and talk. And he graciously said that we could possibly arrange that. So we will see if that comes to fruition. If it does, I will play it back for you on the podcast. I'm looking forward to it and can't wait.

The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time and they begin to question: is this real or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say, hey, don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride.

And we kill those people. Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This has to be real.
SPEAKER_03
It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that. You ever notice that? And let the demons run among. But it doesn't matter because it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. A choice right now between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year, and instead spend it feeding, clothing, and educating the poor of the world, which it would many times over, not one human being excluded, and we can explore space together, both inner and outer. Forever in peace.
