My Dear Friend & POTUS, JRB,

            How was the party last night? I just watched Jill’s lovely intro of Mrs. Obrador, in which she mentioned their plans to socialize at some point in the future. I couldn’t hear what you said about that, but I laughed when Jill told you, “Joe, I don’t know if you are invited.”

            It’s my sister, Julie Seipel’s, 65th birthday. She would love a quick call from you. You could thank her for all she does at her church to promote the spiritual growth of her fellow parishioners. If you are too busy with your trip to OH, you could call her the next time you have a question about the Bible. She’s quite well versed & would be thrilled to give you her interpretation.

            I am so glad that you are learning about additive manufacturing today. Undoubtedly you will hear about its “perfect trifecta of improved performance, complex geometries and simplified fabrication.” You will learn that robots can precisely lay down materials making lattice structures which can be strong AND light with much less waste than subtractive manufacturing. My neighbor has a new knee that was made this way – designed precisely for her body along with surgical instruments tailor made for her.  A guy in TX is using 3D printing to build houses. How cool is that?

            How exciting to have a Black, LGBTQ person as your new press person!! Karine Jean-Peirre is quite telegenic so I anticipate she will get lots of attention. You need that!

            I hope she will give some airtime to the situation in Mynamar. Today’s AJ has an article about the Karen National Liberation Army where the following quote surprised me. “KNU people are very kind and very good at guerrilla warfare.” Hard to imagine.

            Have a good trip & BYBS,

            RCA
