Raj, Taylor and Travis! πŸ˜‰

Ever wondered bumping into celebrities and how that experience would be? Here is a fictionalized account of me accidentally meeting Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, with the Hindu God Ganesha and guardian angels behind me for support!

He is tall,
I am short,
She is mean*,
You know what I mean!

* I am talking height and math when I say mean. Don’t want Swift fans coming after me 😊. I will let you calculate what our heights could be!

How would I describe myself?
Not a Swiftie (Just means I haven’t listened to her songs. Her multiple hit albums from her teens is proof of her undeniable talent and the Eras tour creating a bump for the economy is evidence of her phenomenal popularity πŸ‘),

Not a hardcore KCC fan (while acknowledging the Mahomes-Kelce duo as one of the best one-two combo, with Andy Reid as the coach, in the history of the sport πŸ‘Œ),

I am a cheesehead (Packers are my home team, I have to support them and what is not to like about a major sports franchise in the smallest city that is also referred to as Titletown and is community-owned! πŸ‘)!

What I genuinely appreciate is accomplished people using their name, fame, money, time and effort for a cause dear to them and it doesn’t get much better than partnering with local food banks for donating food to those in need πŸ‘πŸ™
I am neither as accomplished nor do I have the same power but hopefully I can be generous too if I achieve even a fraction of that fame and power, to do good πŸ™ Generosity of spirit is the among the most uplifting characteristics of humans πŸ™

Hey Travis, use your leverage when you bump into Jake of State Farm fame. Make him a Triple Discount (3 discounted tickets for Swift’s concert at State Farm Arena, no less 😊) offer he cannot refuse! πŸ˜‰ Hoping my man, Aaron ‘Double Discount’ Rodgers, will not think he is getting one-upped πŸ˜‚ but he will understand. It is the season of Love 😊

October 1, 2023: World Vegetarian Day! πŸ‘

Learned today October 1st is observed as World Vegetarian Day. Learned not a day too soon I must add πŸ˜„

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Vegetarian_Day

Objective of observing this day is to spread awareness and benefits of vegetarianism. Cool! 😎 Presents a problem for me though. ☹️
May go out for lunch or dinner today with a friend. Will it be appropriate to say “Meat you not at the restaurant!”? πŸ€” This question has been eating me all morning. Man, my life is difficult! πŸ™

Hot and chill?πŸ€”

KenJ: We are down to the last clue in the Double Jeopardy! round of Jeopardy! in what has been a very exciting game! The category is “Farm and Charm” and would you believe it, it’s a Daily Double! 😊 Let me read the clue.
“A favorite in farming circles and referred to as ‘Hot and Chill’!”
KenJ: RajFan buzzed in first. What are you going to wager, RajFan?
RajFan: All of it!
KenJ: Wow, that’s a gutsy wager! What’s your response?
RajFan: “Who is Raj?”
KenJ: You know what? You went all in on Raj and your response actually fits the clue!πŸ˜ƒπŸ‘ But, as you know, the clue writers of Jeopardy! are a picky bunch and such killjoys they don’t give me the flexibility to process a response real time and rule it correct if it seems fitting and differs from what the show has deemed to be right.πŸ‘Ž If it were up to me your score would double! Anyway the official correct response is “What are Raj Farm peppers?”. Known to be fiery hot, gourmets consider it chill to flavor cooking with Raj Farm peppers!πŸ‘Œ Urban legend also has it that the word “chili” some people call peppers is also derived from chill!πŸ˜‰

Perfect Rainbow pass! πŸŒˆ


Truth Seeker: Is perfect “Rainbow pass” for real, father? πŸ€”
God: Yes, it is and here it is, son! πŸ‘†
You just have to be a Packers fan to witness it! 😊
Truth Seeker: Thank you, father, for revealing the truth πŸ™

P.S. Packers training camp is on currently and, hopefully, it will bring lots of Love for years to come! πŸ™
Will result in partying of the Green (and Gold) sea around Jordan for sure! πŸ˜ƒ

Raj Farm 2023: First Act! πŸ˜Š


In the Spring of 2023, the ghosts of Sherlock Holmes and Dr Watson decide to spring a surprise on earthlings by visiting Earth! πŸ˜‰ The purpose of the visit was just to see and experience the joy of an idyllic place instead of the usual business of solving crime. So, Baker Street visit was ruled out. They landed in the picturesque town of Madison, Wisconsin that locals fondly refer to as Madtown or City of Four LakesπŸ‘ŒAs they strolled around, enchanted by the natural beauty of the place, they happened to chance upon The Raj Farm! πŸ‘The board at the entrance read “The Raj Farm – For those in search of peace and tranquility”! πŸ₯° Intrigued by the place Holmes and Watson walked around and enjoyed the serenity of the surroundings! Holmes suddenly noticed a puzzled look on Dr Watson’s face.
Holmes: What is it that is bothering you, my dear Watson?
Dr Watson: Holmes, this is supposed to be a farm and yet, while I see a meadow, I do not see any plants or trees! There are some pots and containers with soil in them.
Holmes: Aha, Watson, looks like another mystery to solve even in this visit. At least it’s not a crime. Let me check!
Dr Watson: Thanks, Holmes! πŸ™
Holmes fishes out a magnifying glass, examining the contents of the pots and other containers very carefully. Next, he lies down and smells the soil in the pots. Finally, he feels the soil in the containers. Then he lets out a satisfied laugh! πŸ˜ƒ
Holmes: The mystery is solved. It’s elementary, Watson!
(Dr Watson still sports a bewildered look)
Holmes: I first examined the soil and found seeds planted. Then I detected faint smell of herbs and peppers indicating what might have been planted. Finally, I felt the soil and there was some dampness I detected. So, my dear Watson, what that means is that the planting season has just started, the seed are in and being watered, and the good folks at the farm are patiently waiting for fruits of their labor as the season progresses.πŸ‘Does that answer your question?
Watson: Yes, it does. πŸ‘Your reasoning always makes everything sound simple and straightforward, Holmes! πŸ™

Brag……..ger!

News in the past few days has been dominated by “Will he?” or “Won’t he?” type of speculation whether Manhattan DA will bring charges in hush money probe. The subject of the investigation has been fulminating quite a bit about the unfairness of the investigation. We will see how the process unfolds legally, but I can’t think of a better headline than the “Bragg v Bragger” battle that is playing out! 🀣
What say?πŸ˜‰

Honey, I am going on a darkness retreat! πŸ˜‚


In recent times before my weekend afternoon nap, I make an announcement to my wife “Honey, I am going on a darkness retreat!” πŸ˜‰ Hey, darkness retreat is not just for the Jet Set and it’s an apt term for nap under layers of comforters in Wisconsin winter, eh? πŸ˜„ Besides, I head for a nap with retirement in mind and emerge from the experience with my mind fresh, clear, active and ready for action!πŸ₯°πŸ‘
I take news of Rodgers heading to Jets philosophically as the Packers-Rodgers relationship had run its course. Mutual trust and respect are fundamental to a sound relationship and in the past few years the relationship had frayed quite a bitπŸ™

FAANG!


LOL! This week another big name announced AI initiative! Amazon already offers AI services in AWS. If Apple decides to throw the hat in the ring and Netflix decides to join the fun by launching a show about the AI race this AI-fueled story will not lack FAANG! Expect a lot of bytes! 😊
