I can't say that I love Jesus
That would be a hollow claim
He did make some observations
And I'm quoting them today...

This was a great album when it was released back in the good old days of American Idol.
The first 2 tracks should never have been included on it though, and I'm still of that opinion...wow, 15 yrs later.
It starts on track 3.

Michael D left the Aras today after 14 years & 2 terms as President of Ireland.
As an Irishman abroad for those two terms, I was proud to have him represent me, & wish him well.
His lifelong advocacy for human rights & social justice,especially in his last term,was a beacon.

Earlier this evening Mrs PhonsIOM & I bid adieu to our favourite restaurant #L'Experience 🇫🇷🇮🇲
We wish the current owners the very best in their retirement next week, and look forward to an evening at the new restaurant La Table in the not too distant future.

This advice given to the late NI politician John Hume by his father when he was just 10 yrs old about the politics of flag waving has always rung true.
No matter who's waving them.
Recounted by Eamonn Mallie in his excellent memoir Eyewitness to War and Peace.

There's been a lot of talk in politics on both sides of the Irish sea lately about #flags
This cautionary advice #JohnHume was given by his dad about the value of the politics of flag waving, as recounted by #EamonnMallie in his memoir Eyewitness to War and Peace, is as relevant today...

Hmm... Google's back listening to what's been going on around me again since that last update in order to send new targeted news & ads.
Guess what song played twice on CD in the car yesterday and today...

"Need anything from town?" she asked.
"Could you see if there's a new pair of shoes I might like?" I replied.
She knows me better than I know myself

Miracle on 34th Street is on. I never get to watch it at Christmas.
This is the one from a few years ago that's a Big/Matilda/Jurassic Park crossover.

A Murder She Wrote / Magnum P.I. crossover happened in S3 & I only found out today.
I've said before that I'd get behind a MSW remake with Susan Sarandon as Jessica Fletcher, but who'd replace Tom Selleck as Magnum... Bradley Cooper still doing movies, Tom Cruise looking too old (sorry Tom).
