Thank you for your reflections on faith and hope. They echo my journey of the past 20 years in many ways. Jesus was pure (I choose to believe the stories and the words attributed to him). I’m holding onto that. Then trying to not only filter out, but fight against, all the horrible things done in his name. Blessings to you and your family.
Some deep stuff, as always, Robbe. I was a fan of Superman before I was a fan of any other superhero when I was young. The Hall of Justice was a group that always brought me hope - even the Wonder Twins. And, man, do we need some hope these days. The world does seem to be falling apart all at once. But I will continue to believe in our young folks. Sure, there is some things that they do different that may drive us a bit crazy but I think they may be better prepared to lead with care, compassion, creativity and thoughtfulness than previous folks because they have been introduced to community involvement at an early stage in their lives and they bring a different perspective to much of what they see. I just hope that they do not get disillusioned but the current state of affairs. And, there is always music to help us feel better. Happy holidays.
Love this one. Your writing here (was already a fan of the running content,) is one of my favorite discoveries this year. Looking forward to many more meals together in 2025!
This hit home with me. From your writing throughout the year, to your podcast episode, I feel like we grew up in different cages of the same zoo. All this to say, you're appreciated and not alone.
I wonder, have you read the Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay? It harkens back to those early superhero days - the writing of them - and makes me wish I grew up in a different time.

Nailing the right layers for winter cardio is a victory in itself!
It feels like you hit a cheat code when it happens just right

Always appreciate you, brother
Happy Christmas to you and your family.
Same to you!
1. The Superman trailer was great.
2. I’m partial to the 2006 Superman Returns movie. It does make me wonder about how many “reboots” we need - but I’m not complaining.
3. As an ex-Catholic your writing is very relatable. Keep up the good work.
Thanks James!
Love this, Robbe! Weaving the sacred and the profane together is an art form and you are clearly an artist.

That means a lot, man. Thanks for sticking with me, hopefully we can keep this train rolling through 2025.

Dude, one of my all-time favorite books! I used to recommend that to everyone I'd meet.
