I've a whole lotta love for the two men in this story. Fully admired their true authentic friendship.
They had me chuckling at so many points and crying at others.
Adored that John Cage 4'33 was incorporated.
Hoping for a sequel!

Today is Be a Kid Again Day but I’m not sure I’d want to be a kid again because for me it was often confusing and hard. For example, when I was a kid all I wanted was to be an astronaut, but when I shared that dream with my dad he shattered it with a single line. He said, “Son, the sky’s the limit.”

Yesterday, I shared this same Canada Day thread on Bluesky, Threads, and X. Here's what I found. 🧵
“Canada is such a northern country, don’t we want a little global warming?” I often hear.
In a nutshell, NO.
We’re warming 2x faster than the rest of the world, driving extreme heat, flood, and sea level rise we are not prepared for. The wildfire season started in Feb this year. Feb!
