What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 260 & BENKYO RADIO 260. I’ve also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 058.

It’s been a year since the pandemic has started. I think everybody has had time to pause, reflect and realize what is important. Also, people who were always nonchalant and making excuses that they were “too busy” to hang out, after a year of confinement, when everything reopens, cherish it. Call those old friends and family. Celebrate. The world was almost destroyed. And we still have some people, not just men, but also women, who refuse to apologize. They refuse to admit when they were wrong. You need to be bigger than that. Admit your wrongdoings. You cannot move forward until you do.

Anyway, I read a new article about Mattis, and he’s right. While I don’t plan on running an Iron-Man Triathlon anytime soon, but it’s time to be more physically fit. This freaking pandemic turned us all into couch potatoes.

Lastly, I would like to apologize to JoAnne S. Bass, whom I pissed off recently. I’m sorry but working for free is really terrible, even if it is at the pleasure of the President.

Until next time!
