Amidst all of the drama around my surgery yesterday, I had forgotten that today is Father’s Day.

Happy Father’s Day to my amazing Dad, Lee Updike!! Still going strong at 92. Love you, Dad ❤️

For those who are wondering: my surgery will take place sometime this afternoon (Sat Jun 15).

I’ve been getting questions about how my autistic son Gordon reacted to the death of our family dog, Norty. The answer might surprise you. 😔⤵️

I HOPE I’M DOING THIS RIGHT (Thorn/Maddox)

This is a PAUL THORN song from his 2010 album Pimps & Preachers. It highlights the good in everyone, including those from the “wrong side of the tracks”. It’s a brutally honest ballad, written as only Thorn can write. #realcountrymusic

Today, we honour the brave soldiers who stormed Juno Beach on D-Day, including the Royal Winnipeg Rifles & Fort Garry Horse. Their sacrifice & valour changed the course of history & secured the freedoms we cherish today. Let us remember their heroism & commitment to peace. #DDay

This is incredibly touching to witness. Listen to what the veteran tells Zelenskiy and what Zelenskiy says in reply.

Bravery. Courage. Sacrifice.
