Not sure if it’s caused by troubles in the US/Canada relations but large numbers of Canadian geese have moved to Louisville.

On the 25th anniversary of 9/11 I remember my friend Neil Levin who was the Executive Director of the Towers. He died trying to get others to safety. Each time I am in NYC I visit his plaque in Central Park. Never Forget.

The magical top of the new JP Morgan Chase headquarters building from our NYC hotel room. Proud to be an alum!

Was a tourist in Louisville today and went to the Frazier history museum and at their bourbon exhibit was glad to see my great grandfather’s bourbon IW Harper.

A great opportunity to get an insightful take on markets from my colleague and head of Fundstrat Tom Lee.

Happy 80th birthday President George W Bush. We were both younger once.

I was in charge of getting a commencement speaker for my college graduation. It was Memorial Day weekend and tough to find someone. Then I learned that Senator Riegle’s sister was in our class and with her help he was our speaker that I got to introduce. Sorry to read of his passing.

Each time I go to Central Park I look for the stone dedicated to my friend Neil Levin who died on 9/11 trying to help people out of the WTC. There is construction at the spot and at first I didn’t see Neil’s stone. It’s dirty but I found it right beside the construction gate.

Strong memories tonight of elementary school watching first human space landings. At 27 I was aide to Ohio Sen. Robert Taft Jr and I got to work with the other Ohio Senator John Glenn. Wish the iPhone had been invented so I could have picture with Senator/astronaut Glenn.

April 4 and the first loggerhead sea turtle nest spotted at Juno Beach and up to 52 leatherbacks. Over 6 months to go in the nesting season.

Weekend note: Juno Beach sea turtle nesting season nearly a month in and nest count is at 38. By November the count should approach 20,000.

Weekend post: As sea turtle nesting season begins at Juno Beach the first count post is up. Each year there are nearly 20,000 turtles that lay their eggs on the Juno beach.

Ian and I went looking for gopher tortoises at Frenchman’s Forest, bingo found a big one coming out of his burrow.

This weekend we went to the New World Symphony in Miami Beach. Fun concert and our seats right behind the base section are so close we can see the notes on the sheet music.

I think it’s great the way South Beach has maintained its art deco architecture style.

I was quoted in a Barron’s piece on the SCOTUS tariff decision. barrons.com/livecoverage/tru…

A new borrow for gopher tortoises at Frenchman’s Forest in Palm Beach County,FL.

With the closing Olympic ceremonies at the Verona Arena Jody and I were there for a grand performance of Aida.

On President’s Day I think of this picture of a Lincoln statue my great grandparents gave to the Louisville library and during a record flood the water reached the statue to create Lincoln walking on water.
