Last night I got out to see the latest Jurassic Park movie, a franchise they have stretched across three decades at this point. Unlike some of the previous films they didn’t lean into the past pulling in characters from years ago. I think this cast stood well on it’s own, I really enjoyed the movie, enough to give it an A-. If you are a dinosaur fan you will want to see it.

With July 4th falling on a Friday this year it translates into a long weekend. As is usual my 4th will involve trying to minimize the amount of terror for Elsa from the fireworks through a combination of CBD calming treats and a lot of background noise in the house. The rest of my weekend will likely involve a combination of work and play, hopefully keeping the ratios at acceptable levels.

Pardon the abrupt segway but I have come to realize that I am far, far better off focusing on things that I can directly influence or control than spend large amounts of energy on situations that I can’t. Banging your head against brick walls is not good for your physical or mental health. I certainly have done my fair share. Everyone is responsible for the reality that they create/accept for themselves. If you don’t like it, change it. No one is coming to save you.
