I don't work all the time when I am on the road. In fact, I love thinking up cool ways to use my gadgets for entertainment. Watching TV in the coach is a nice way to relax; and with the Starlink and Roku, I can watch Rays baseball, Bucs Football, Lightning games, and Diane can watch anything else she wants. But, sometimes, it is nice to get outside and sit in a portable chair, with scotch in hand, and watch TV.

On March 15th, the Iowa legislature passed S.F. 262 (the “ICDPA”), making it the sixth U.S. state to pass a comprehensive state privacy statute. The Iowa statute most closely resembles the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”), though it also shares some similarities with the approaches adopted in Virginia, Colorado, and Connecticut. The statute will next go to the governor’s desk for signature.

Poems are often inspired by simple comments or remarks. My good friend, Shawne Park, inspired this one this morning, with a comment he made to my post about the implications of a sign marking the end of a sidewalk the other day. In his words "the road goes on forever, and the story never ends". It occurred to me that everything actually does end for a single human.
