It’s All Mishegoss — Tuesday #119
Welcome back. How was the weekend? How about your Monday? Did you survive the dreaded Monday blues? We did and we’re on to a new week and new stories.
Like, the story about Tom Jones (remember him from the day?) and Janis Joplin (how about her?) dancing? Yup, you read that right dancing. Teaser alert, they’re good and we have video to prove it. While it isn’t the top story of the day, which honor fell to Brown University for finding more water on the moon then we thought, it is still the highlight of our day.
Now that Brown has evidence of more water on the moon Silicon Valley has more evidence of a sexist culture going on out there. How many more VC’s and Silicon Valley types will have their covers pulled for being sexist? It’s worse than Wall Street was years ago.
New and old redacted information from the asasination of President Kennedy has been released in time for the 50th anniversary of his assassination. We don’t know what more can be told, but we know Robert Kennedy Jr. was in Dallas the other night to talk about what his Dad had to say after the assassination and his own personal thoughts on that day in Dallas.
Before we get too boring, we wanted to let you know we found Santa Claus right here in the good ole’ USA. You bet right there in Indiana. At of all places Lake Rudolph in Santa Claus, IN. Imagine that all of this time we thought he was up in the snow country.
Twitter is in the news about policing the twitter waves. Don’t know if you have seen a difference yet, we’re still looking and checking it out daily.
But, if you’re looking to buy a home there is a few new startups to help you do that. You’ll have to read more into it and figure out which is right for you, but hopefully boring,they can help you out. As always we don’t endorse these startups or apps. We’re just here to pass along some ideas that may or may not work.
Have you made any changes since our last newsletter? We wrote a little about changes and we’re just following up on that topic. We would enjoy hearing changes made and how they have either helped or not helped you in your work and life.
Have a great Tuesday and see you Tomorrow!
Ciao,
Mark & Patti

On A Dancing Note & In Closing
You Ever Seen Janis Joplin and Tom Jones Dance? — I Love Classic Rock — iloveclassicrock.com
This is one of the obvious reasons why no one will ever come close to Janis Joplin. She wasn’t just any other musician, she was a rock goddess and her voice is just phenomenal. The ATV variety show “This Is Tom Jones” featured big names from the music industry but Janis was always our favorite guest.
