  1. Thanks, Doc. Now I know how to respond to my partner when asked to do the dishes. They will be cleaned…one day. 🙂 I had a go at guessing the theme for next part. Humble? Fear? Anger Management? Can’t wait.

    • HA! I love that you have the security to test your relationship. j/k 😉

      Sorry for the late reply, I’ve been repainting and renovating the new home! NO TIME ONLINE (that isn’t accompanied by eyes shooting daggers at me while I sit there, haha) and no time to finish up the episodes. I predicted this might happen, so I’ll have something to put out if I work on it tonight after everyone’s asleep (as they are right now, shhhh!). Though the new home is taking more time than expected so there’s probably going to be a bit before I can finish 62 and 63. Honestly, I still stuck on 62. I’m on the third version and it just feels like word-salad to me. I’m tempted to just skip to 63 but when I do that episodes go into the vault and they don’t ever seem to make it out again. My next three weekends are looking booked, so… when’s SDCC? I’ll have something out this weekend maybe next weekend… then maybe react to SDCC… then I’m out of runway and 62 should be out? Sorry, I’m rambling, thinking by typing!

      Regarding your guess, I’ll say to quote Judge John Hodgman “All guesses are wrong!” BUT with the right lawyer in your corner they could argue you’re right or at least ballpark, haha. Anyways, thank you for your support and interest, sorry for this late update. Best regards.

  2. Hey Doc,

    The Growth Mindset…wow…this is something that i’ve only learned at my old age…wish i had this during my 20’s. Actually, i wish a lot of what i know now, i would’ve known or someone teach me during that time in my life…
    But to quote Gandalf: “all you have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to you.”

    Thanks again for another great post.
