That is so heartbreaking to hear. We are the same age. We've been watching him in Ted Lasso, and my mind always thinks of Giles.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

I’m so sad about that. He was a talented actor and, from everything I’ve heard, a genuinely good guy.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Such a sad thing. Apparently his end was peaceful with his daughters present, so at least there's that. He'll be missed.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I tried to schedule my pneumonia and shingles vaccines earlier this week, and CVS wouldn't let me because I wasn't 50 yet. Gonna get right back on that.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I haven't posted in literal years (sorry for being MIA, oops) but just heard about Anthony Head, which made me think of all of you.

I didn’t realize his partner died last year. His poor daughters. I know they’re in their 30s now but still that’s a lot.
