Dropping by

The family reunion was good; we got together and did the usual summer thing of grilling burgers and dogs, potato salad, all the good stuff people put together when having a picnic.  Unfortunately, a couple of days ago my aunt had a brain aneurysm and had to by hospitalized, so we're concerned at how she is going to be in the next few days.

Today the light of my life, my wife, turned another year older.
Happy birthday, Sandy.

I'm not even going to get into the campaign for POTUS; it pretty much boils down to two douchebags and their lackeys telling lies about themselves and each other while waging a shit-slinging war.
If I seem a bit harsh when describing them, so be it.

It was sad to see Ernest Borgnine go; I enjoys a lot of his movies while growing up.
I think my two favorite performances of his were in The Wild Bunch and The Vikings.
RIP, big guy.

A classic video from a classic band.
