I have never taken anything to improve my cognitive function. My attempts have been to read more and put away screens more often.

I don’t think I’ve ever watched the Kentucky Derby.

A far as soul conditioning, I would probably choose more prayer in isolation. Like prayer hikes or something like that. I know I need more time in isolated meditative prayer. For you Catholic friends of mine, I have not grown up praying to saints or Mary but, in a step out of my comfort zone, I have started to pray that “God help me understand and get to know Mary.” So there’s that…

I think the last concert I went to was The Band CAMINO. My wife got sick for that show! While I missed her, I did have fun going with my brother and sister-in-law. Also, look up the Band Camino. A fun Little Rock/ pop band. While I enjoy them now, they would have been my JAM in the mid 2000s.

Go to comfort sick food would have to be homemade chicken noodle soup or mashed potatoes.

Technically speaking, coffee is a nootropic.

You're from the south and haven't watched the Kentucky Derby?

That is an excellent prayer. Mary, seat of wisdom, pray for us.

Band Camino, got it.

Mashed potatoes is where it's at.

In that case, I take a nootropic every morning!

And the Derby is popular with certain - more socioeconomicly blessed southerners - than myself.

I'll be reading through catholic.com for more on Mary soon.

This is probably my favorite song by The Band CAMINO but they have many others I like:https://open.spotify.com/track/1pJzl0YsxaWj6BbPs1mUuQ?si=a480c18285414862

Praise God my mom taught me early on how to make mashed potatoes from scratch. Really looking forward to Thanksgiving!
