I Have No Enemies
This phrase “I have no enemies” comes from a manga/anime that Jane and I watched two years ago called Vinland Saga. The line is uttered the end of Season 2, where Thorfinn takes, voluntary, a beating of 100 punches to speak with King Canute to plead with him to seek peace and not war.
The quote can be found on my Linkedin page and now it is marked forever on my skin. Our last days in Asia we spent discovering Seoul and Jane and I matching tattoos of two daggers/arrows that represent this quote in imagery.
Thorfinn, the protagonist of Vinland Sage would carry these knives but in the end was a pacifist like Ghandi or Jesus.
Japan was amazing with Jane and she just turned 18 last week and ready for the big move to SLC to go to my alma mater, University of Utah. If any of you has a need of a very good content creator and hacker, let me know, she is looking for a job.
I don’t have a lot to say on this Day of Sun and hope your life has been swell. Mine feels blessed with all the family and friends I got to see this summer. I did a 25 year reunion and homecoming for my LDS Mission President who I saw in June in Rome. Here we are all in my barn enjoying stories of Italy.
Speaking of barns, I am currently in the desert near East Zion building a cabin with my friend. It’s too hot to work in day so we work at night.
We are doing a great job and will soon be able to dwell here. Starlink makes this message possible. Look at this Sun!
We will be ready to bring families down and sleep inside sometime in the fall. A-Frame wasn’t on my bucket list because I don’t build things with my hands…but then I started
While I was down here in the desert, my friend Carl called me and asked if I could help host a man who is a pioneer of longevity, Aubrey de Grey. Carl is the same soul who helped me get Bryan Johnson to speak in Utah. We made an invite page for this event. Come August 12th if living forever is your thing.
