🥓 What can help histamine intolerance:
- When some people eat foods high in histamines like fermented, aged, or preserved foods they can get allergy-like symptoms. While not super common on a meat-based diet, some people experience "histamine intolerance" early on, especially if eating a lot of processed meats like sausages and deli meats. Dr. Paul Saladino had some interesting thoughts on the subject, and like so many
issues, it seems the root cause could be underlying gut issues (a.k.a "leaky gut").
- This could be a case where including some organ meats in the diet, like kidney and liver, can help provide some additional DAO and symptom relief until the gut heals (via removing plant-based offenders).

👴 What a 93-year-old thinks you should do:
- Dr. John Kitchin asked a 93-year-old man, "What should I do?" The old man replied, "Do what you want." John took his advice and skated off the grid. I think there is a lot of wisdom to be had in this life motto.
"...cheering for one person that got away, that escaped, and got the real freedom where he skates all day....he's simply doing what he wants to."

😂 How to train your husband:
- I don't know how I stumbled upon this, but it's hilarious with the added bonus of having some good strategies on training your significant other.
- Approximations (reward good behavior)
- Least Reinforcing Syndrome (ignore undesirable behavior)
- Incompatible behaviors (make undesirable behavior difficult / impossible)
"After two years of exotic animal training, my marriage is far smoother, my husband much easier to love."

⚖ What law is stressing me out:
- A trend I've noticed throughout my 2020 Challenge (learn to make music by releasing 1 song/month) is each month I procrastinate further and further on the "song of the month." As my ability has increased, time allocation to each song has shrunk proportionally. I find myself squeezing most of the work into the final week before the song is due. It's classic Parkinson's Law in action: "work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion." It's Saturday, the 26th, 5 days left, and I haven't even recorded vocals yet - which is always the most challenging / time consuming (I'm doing it TODAY - using Marvin as my inspiration). The big takeaway lesson is - always have deadlines, without which time will expand indefinitely, and nothing gets done.

🧠 What quote I've been thinking about:
"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you"
– Ruth Bader Ginsburg

💲 What billionaire is almost broke:
- While living like a monk, Chuck Feeney, 89, amassed billions as the cofounder of Duty Free Shoppers. Now it's almost all gone. He pioneered the "Giving While Living" philanthropic idea of spending most of your fortune on big charity bets instead of funding a foundation upon death. Over the last
40+ years, Feeney has donated more than $8 billion to charities, universities, and foundations.
"It’s a lot more fun to give while you live than give while you're dead...
Since you can't take it with you—why not give it all away, have control of where it goes and see the results with your own eyes?"

🏠 What's my guilty pleasure:
- I love looking at homes, whether on walks or YouTube. And I was taking a tour of Scottie Pippen's house, which then led me down a rabbit hole to looking for my favorite kinds of houses: one's in nature, with huge windows, and a lake view.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and an honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!
