My dad would have been 90 yesterday. September 12th. He passed away at 59, almost 60. So that’s how he’ll always remain to me. Miss you now and every day.

Irish President Catherine Connolly to Trump, “I conveyed the strong view of the Irish people that the normalisation of war and genocide can never be accepted'. Trump walked away angry & pouting as usual whenever he encounters a strong intelligent woman. Another day. Another embarrassment. ==========

8 years ago (8/29/18) I had what turned out to be my 2nd stroke of the year. It has caused me to be paralyzed in half of my face and it caused the symptoms from the first stroke to get worse. It was a much smaller stroke than the first massive one, but had longer lasting effects. #StrokeSurvivor

My dad died 30 years ago today, 8/29/96. He was 59, just a few weeks shy of his 60th. I, like a lot of kids, didn't always appreciate him as much as I should have when I was younger. I'm glad that I was able to spend a lot of time with him the last year of his life. Nothing but respect & love.

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

A reminder that lots of places will list today (7 Aug 1983) as the release date for Black Sabbath's Born Again - they're wrong. My own site perpetuated that for a long time, but that date is incorrect. Here's my research on the matter: www.black-sabbath.com/2022/09/born...
