I might not bother watching the Super Bowl, but Bad Bunny sounds much better than Kid Rock.

If I am reading this correctly, the theatre sold only three tickets for that showing of "Melania". Hardly anybody expects it to be worth seeing!

I am still lamenting an old friend who died recently, and now Catherine O'Hara has left. At least I can share a happy memory today:
Forty-one years ago today, my family adopted Sheena.

On Tuesday, I attended, and even performed at, my friend's celebration of life. Wherever she is now, she is in a better place. I plan to wear an all-black ensemble to tonight's rehearsal.
I love you, Julie.

Nine years ago, my then-gf and I were (unofficially) married.
Jim died during the pandemic; then Ashley wanted nothing more to do with Lynne when she began dating a sex offender; and Ashley dumped me two years ago.
I removed Ashley from the photo, as well as I could.

In the last months of my time on Facebook, the platform suggested this woman, Ilse Van Diepen, as a friend for me.
However, according to several members of a group to which she and I both belonged, she was already dead!

My grandparents died in the same order as their births. Seven years ago, I lost the last of them. My paternal grandmother was 87 years old; coincidentally, it was also my parents' anniversary.

Last night, my ukulele group met, without our usual facilitator. Things went well-enough, but on the funny side, because I was wearing my Rush t-shirt, and also had a Rush strap from my new uke, I blundered my way through one of their songs!

My niece graduated high school yesterday. I am proud of her, but I bought this item months ago, before I knew.

It has been two years since my breakup, and I am in the midst of a nasty heat wave. For both reasons, I buzzed-off all my hair this morning!

The NNVB mezzo level band; see if you can find me.
Some of us are shown with our instruments, but not all of us could be.

One week after my family put Lucky to sleep, news broke that Grumpy Cat died. Unfortunately, none of us got to meet the real Grumpy Cat; the plushies must have been fairly common for me to have found one in Cobourg.

It has now been five years since we lost this little guy. Lucky was the nicest cat I ever had, but not the best.
