@DrMeerdink So very sorry to hear that. Best wishes to you and your family.

[Dave Parfitt @AdventuresByDad]

Neo, 2009-2020, the most affectionate, sweetest, loyal, and loving cat I’ve ever known. He was taken by cancer from our family much, much too early, and will be missed by us all. Neo, you were a very special friend and family member. I can’t believe you are gone.

My latest on #FoxNews - #COVID19 keeps Wish Children waiting as #WaltDisneyWorld re-opens. @GKTWVillage unable to bring wish kids to theme parks https://t.co/cMU0Wlhryk #GiveHopeToWishes

With Florida cases of COVID19 spiking at levels seen in New York in March, it’s not the time to travel to a theme park.

[Dave Parfitt @AdventuresByDad]

As a theme park lover, I'm glad California delayed the opening of all parks, including #Disneyland, and think Florida should do the same. With the continuing rise of #COVID19 throughout CA and the south, now is not the time to travel to a theme park like #WaltDisneyWorld

Supporting a black-owned business for dinner, and found a new family favorite. People’s Choice Kitchen, we will be back! Great Jerk Chicken and evening better community advocate and leader #BlackOutTuesday

We live in a country built on institutional racism. Our history and development has distributed resources and power to those who look like me – white men. People of color continue to be marginalized and oppressed in our society.

I couldn't bring a group of SUNY Geneseo students to @GKTWVillage this year due to the pandemic, so I donated to help #GiveHopeToWishes. Follow the link to support #GKTW during #GivingTuesdayNow https://t.co/XNzA8qGLVB

Be kind to each other… Lately, I’ve been saying this to family, students, & the faculty I work with at the college. I wanted to say it here too. Everybody is under psychological stress right now. For some, the impact of this pandemic is layered on top of many other stressors

Protect yourself and your community from coronavirus with common sense precautions: wash your hands, stay home when sick and listen to the @CDCgov and local health authorities. Save the masks for health care workers. Let’s stay calm, listen to the experts, and follow the science.

So ridiculous. Greta must work on her Anger Management problem, then go to a good old fashioned movie with a friend! Chill Greta, Chill!
