Optimism...
Optimism is an essential ingredient of innovation. How else can the individual welcome change over security, adventure over staying in safe places?

Amazing google Sheets trick
How do you search and replace [*] in Google Sheets so that the brackets and whatever is in the bracket (or parentheses) gets deleted?
You need regular expressions to solve your find and replace the problem. A regular expression pattern is an admittedly arcane character string capable of matching various text patterns with exquisite sensitivity and precision
Google Sheets supports regular expressions in its Find & Replace dialog. You must check the box for “Search using regular expressions” each time you perform such a search. The Find field will be the regular expression pattern \[.*\] and the Replace field should be left blank.
To explain the regular expression pattern,
• the backslash means the next character is a literal rather than a regular expression special character.
• The . mean any character.
• The * means 0 or more occurrences.
So the regular expression pattern is looking for a left square bracket, 0 or more characters, and a right square bracket.
Thank you Brad Yundt... you Sheets aficionado
Dystopian...
Just finish binge watching this show to get ready for sesason two. I really love dystopian stories like this one. What if the Russians landed on the moon first? Nixon never left office, Ted Kennedy won the Presidency in ’76. And the Apollo missions kept on going into the twenties. Season 2 is in less than a month.
Free will...
When I was 12 I walked down the aisle of my church and stood beside my pastor at that time and prayed with him to accept God and his Son Jesus in my heart. And to this day 30 years later I still hold that belief close to my heart. It is best to know that I wasn't dragged into the decision, It wasn't because friends at the time nudging me along. It was because of the enlightenment of God's grace that salvation came to me. Not some radicalized belief system beat into me.
So having said that... I want a White House that honors God's option of free will and offers inclusivity to all beliefs and religions that are respectful to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. I know that not everyone will share my personal beliefs of Christianity and God's grace, and that's ok. If they haven't come to love the same God that we both know and love, you love them anyway. You cannot force the divine grace of God's love on someone, they must see it, experience it, and through a free will and personal decision, accept it within their heart.
The love you take, is equal to the love you make.
I think this was a quote from Lincoln Riley, Oklahoma University head football coach
