With the abject *kneeling in fealty* to Trump by FIFA officials in the run-up to the World Cup, seems folks don't realize that FIFA has been roiled in corruption, scandal and duplicity for decades.
The confluence of MAGA corruption & FIFA corruption is truly one for the ages. 💰

All the feels, and the dizzying rush of history, when you visit your parents’ hometown of Tata, Hungary, which was first noted in royal documents in 1093, with a castle on the lake, still standing, built in 1397.
We are just a speck of dust, in the big scheme of things.

Always enjoyed the train ride to idyllic Tata, Hungary, my parents’ hometown. Since my father’s passing, the visits have dissipated.
I return today with a heavy heart, with the solemn task of preparing the house for sale, meeting with a realtor.
Yet another chapter in life. 🕊️
