239 years ago today, our Founding Fathers signed the Constitution.
It protects our freedoms and reminds the government who’s boss: the American people.
Happy Constitution Day!
After more than 140 years, Barcelona’s Sagrada Família is finally complete in 2026.
Standing in front of it hits differently — pure awe. Gaudí’s vision realized. Breathles
Just got back from Madrid after chasing another total solar eclipse.
The full experience hit different this time — standing under totality in Zaragoza, feeling that sudden drop in temperature, the 360° sunset, and the pure silence when the diamond ring vanished. Grateful I got to see it again.
Successful trip. Already thinking about the next one.

America at 250.
July 2 is one of my favorite dates because of John Adams.
July 2, 1786, the delegates are exhausted, the debates have dragged on for weeks, and the weight of history presses down like the summer humidity.
On this very day, July 2, 1776, Adams and his allies push the Continental Congress to vote for independence from Great Britain. The resolution passes. The colonies are no longer subjects; they are free, or at least determined to become so.
Adams writes to his beloved Abigail that day: “The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America… It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more.”
He was off by two days. July 4 would get the glory when the Declaration was formally adopted, but he nailed the spirit.
As we race toward America 250 in 2026, this moment feels electric. Two hundred fifty years ago, a group of imperfect but courageous people bet everything on the radical idea that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed. They chose hope over fear, unity over division, and liberty over submission.
Today is all about John Adams!
Do you remember when you joined X? I do! #MyXAnniversary 13 years on X and my pride in being an American has never been stronger. Grateful for the freedom, opportunity, and unbreakable spirit that make this country truly great. God bless the USA! 🇺🇸❤️”
