Finally seeing Jack again. Been since 2019 when we saw the Raconteurs back-to-back in KC and New Orleans.

Tomorrow I’m heading to Cleveland on behalf of the Iowa LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce for the Affiliate Chamber Education Summit with LGBTQ Chamber leaders from across the country and the National LGBT Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). Looking forward to strategizing paths forward for this business community

This week, Iowa became the first state ever to rescind the civil rights of a protected group. In a bill signed by the Iowa Governor on Friday, Iowa’s transgender and non-binary citizens will no longer be protected from discrimination. #transrightarehunanrights #translivesmatter

Beautiful Puerto Vallarta. We’ve only been coming here for 6 years and in that time have seen 5 high-rise condos go up in Zona Romantica. Construction workers make between $400-$600 pesos per day ($20-$30 USD).

That’s awesome, Angie. There’s no deity worship, correct?

PS I did try a brain taco and Jeff tried an eyeball taco. Not our favorite.

Wonderful little food tour around Zona Romantica in Puerto Vallarta today. Favorites were the Tacos Darados (De Papa) at Carnit S Don Gil and and the Tacos Asada at Tacos Mi Esperanza.

And all the 60-day cold moist stratified seeds are tucked in. That means 60 days until planting. It’ll be here before you know it.
