In what will perhaps (and should) ultimately be dubbed this year’s best Super Bowl commercial, the late Paul Harvey’s famed So God Made A Farmer speech was incorporated into a Dodge Ram Truck ad.

The words come from a speech Harvey gave in 1978 at the National FAA Convention. The speech is moving and the images that accompany truly encapsulate the message; there are some people out there who work really hard for little money and out of love for their craft.

The ad is brilliantly crafted and carries a powerful message. Will it sell any trucks? Who dares. The message was worth spending $4 million to spread it to 100 million people.

I’m 66 and I’ve learned that loneliness isn’t sitting alone on a Saturday night — it’s sitting at a family dinner surrounded by people who are physically present but emotionally checked out, and realizing you’ve become background noise in your own life

Psychology says the most dangerous narcissists aren’t the loud, grandiose ones — they’re the quiet martyrs who weaponize their suffering so skillfully that you end up apologizing for things they did to you

I thought retirement would mean freedom, but at 66 I’ve discovered it actually means waking up every day knowing that nobody’s schedule depends on you anymore — and that the invisibility of not being needed is its own particular kind of grief
