@lonesometoast I hope that’s not what got you here in the first place. 😉
Feel better. After evading it for two years, I just went through the second round of C19 in six months. Just as bad at first, but did NOT have the long, lingering tail period like the first. Two weeks and GONE🤞🏻

@ChristopherAve @MarchingMizzou @Mizzou 30 years ago that @SherylCrow song would be playing overhead as I bartended (and my wife served tables) at Willie’s @FieldhouseCoMo…now we’re listening to it with our three kids watching the Macy’s Day Parade. 😮 Very grateful, but slow down Life! 😆

Love this place 🖼️

(Which also again brings to mind that as terrible as this site can be, it is the greatest connector of humankind we have. @elonmusk, please please do not f&#% it up.)

[Ben Evans @STLenergized]

My goodness. In 12 years on this wonderful and terrible site, this may be the most epically beautiful thread I’ve ever stumbled across…about those greatest of all connectors, family and 🎶

Dad’s ability to improvise and compose beautiful melodies on the fly has always amazed me.

Tonight, I gave him four random notes as a starting point.

Although his dementia is getting worse, moments like this bring him back to me.
