I paid off my $28k in HECS debt years ago now. I would love for those who have a debt today to not have to do that, especially when it's going to be a LOT more expensive for them than it was for me. #AusPol

Elizabeth Holmes finally got her ass in jail. About time. The damage she did to patients and lab science is unforgivable

I think it's time for me to hit the sack. Early start today on 4 hours of sleep and about a thousand miles of lawn mowing.

Get this, at 66 I have contracted my first (and hopefully only) case of poison ivy. Trying extract the vine that was parasitizing a lilac bush. 🙄 Prescription steroids are a wonder drug, but the Benadryl is knocking me on my ass. So, I'm out.

Laters.

Watched the Ted Lasso finale tonight. This show brought the family together during the darkest hours of the pandemic, and made us smile when there wasn’t much to smile about. Thanks to the writers, cast, and crew. We’re really going to miss that show.

Hey y'all. What'd I miss? 😁

"Philippines. Anilao. Night dive. Black water. Flying gurnard. 🙂 😚

I went from a C-section to a second pulmonary embolism to a Grand Slam final.

"I learned a lot from jamming with Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman when he was in Hourglass. I'll tell you, sometimes when I'm on stage now, I see ghosts as I play my guitar. Sometimes they're laughing at me. Sometimes they're saying 'right on.'" —Stephen Stills
