American Airlines Sues Mechanics Unions - WSJ
The world’s largest airline by traffic said in a court filing that the unions are coordinating action to slow repair work on its fleet of 950 planes in an effort to gain leverage in talks over a new contract that have dragged into their fourth year.
Looks like Southwest may have been on to something.

Judge Rejects Trump Request to Block Subpoena for Accounting Records - WSJ
“It is not unreasonable to think that the Mazars records might assist Congress in determining whether ethics statutes or regulations need updating to strengthen Executive Branch accountability, promote transparency, and protect against Executive Branch officials operating under conflicts of interest,” Judge Mehta wrote.
I hate that Congessional investigations are now solely political tools. This ruling with ensure that the fishing expeditions of the future will be more bold and outrageous.

Parents of dead West Point cadet can use his sperm, judge rules
Supreme Court Justice John Colangelo says in a decision dated Thursday the parents of Peter Zhu haven’t decided whether to attempt conception with a surrogate mother. But he ruled it’s their decision to make.
His parents must be in such pain. This plan is problematic, as is the ruling. There’s no way for Zhu to give, or withhold, his consent. And that’s just the first ethical issue.

Book Review: Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters
May 19,2019As the father to two little girls, this book made it on my reading list a few months back. Now that my eldest is moving beyond her toddler years, I thought it was a good time to read it.
The book is a challenging read. Every chapter is full of dozens of pieces of practical advice for the reader. Conversation topics, data, research, parenting ideas, and very specific ways in which to help your daughter grow into a mature, well-adjusted adult.
Repeated throughout is the idea that a daughter’s relationship with her father is the most important that she will have throughout her entire life. She will have many important relationships, but none will have a broader impact or shade her worldview.
This is a book that I will have to re-read several times in the coming years. It’ll be a great resource as my daughters and I navigate our relationship and their coming of age in the world.
Would I recommend: YES
