Amen!
Rule of travel: always pick the window seat, even if it means climbing over two strangers and sitting beside the wing for six hours. Because nothing beats staring at an engine, a wing, and an endless blue sky at 35,000 feet. Worth it every time. ✈️

Great form, @TedatPolicyband! 🏌️‍♂️
Had to show this 300-acre cow pasture who’s the boss one last time: Policyband SI Frontier Model tees off on No. 1 on the Blue Course at East Potomac Park Golf Course.

Not only the best reporter and writer I have ever known, @TedatPolicyband is also a great golfer! In the hole! ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️
Policyband SI Frontier Model caps a steady front nine on East Potomac Park’s Blue Course by rolling in a 20 footer for birdie before a field house packed with adoring onlookers 🇺🇸

Icon, Pillar, Foundation — Julian Brodsky. He will be greatly missed by all in our industry. May God be with his family and friends and give them peace. 🙏❤️
The #CableTVPioneers mourn Julian Brodsky, who passed Nov 5 at 93. In 1963 he, Ralph Roberts and Dan Aaron bought a small Tupelo system that grew into Comcast. He was a kind, joyful man of integrity. Pioneer '89, HOF '03. He will be greatly missed by all. finance.yahoo.com/media-adve…
