Hi everybody — I recently received a kidney transplant from a generous living donor, and I'm already feeling better. Back to normal in a few months, so get ready for more music and Daryl's House shows. You all take care! Love, D
Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??
The #CanMNT play Qatar at BC Place on Thursday — but the Canadian geese have started their march to the match early.
Vancouver showing off, as usual.

Media and the public are invited to attend the burial of a Canadian soldier killed in the First World War, Private Albert (Bert) Henry Detmold, at Loos British Cemetery outside Loos-en-Gohelle, France: https://t.co/EeAmrLTMZe
Another bummer, on the long list of bummers caused by social media, my kids don't ask their friends to sign their yearbooks, at the end of the year. HAGS (have a good summer) KIT (keep in touch)
Always great to meet with my colleagues of the Royal Canadian Air Force!

C'est toujours un plaisir de rencontrer mes collègues des Forces aériennes du Canada!
June 6, 1944. Today, we mark the anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. 14,000 Canadians stormed Juno Beach, showing unparalleled bravery in the face of fierce resistance. 359 Canadians made the ultimate sacrifice that day.
We stand in silent gratitude for the heroes who broke through the Atlantic Wall and paved the path to liberation.

The Legion commends the government’s decision to establish an independent review board for awarding military honours to Afghanistan Veterans. We hope this results in a posthumous Victoria Cross award for Pte. Jess Larochelle for whom we’ve advocated for close to 5 years.
La Légion félicite le gouvernement pour sa décision de créer un comité d’examen indépendant pour l’attribution des distinctions militaires telles que la Croix de Victoria, aux vétérans d’Afghanistan. Nous espérons que cela conduira à une distinction à l’attribution posthume d’une Croix de à Jess Larochelle, pour qui nous militions depuis près de 5 ans.
@NightEthereal ‘Decades’:
- four discs, one per decade
- variety, with focus on tracks that don’t fir neatly into any ‘era’
- tracks untouched (released as Prince left them)
- informative and comprehensive liner notes
- decent artwork
- good quality sound, but not messing with what Prince did
Was simultaneously excited and overwrought by this release... zero disappointment. Put on your headphones and marvel at the angst & hope on display by @ManchesterOrch
