Today was the funeral of John McCain.. a true American hero.
Yesterday was the funeral of Aretha Franklin.. a true American musical legend.
Lots of tears, I'm not ashamed to say.
The eulogizers for McCain all made subtle digs at trump... who, incidentally was not invited to the funeral. Three other Presidents were there: Clinton, W. Bush, and Obama. Bush and Obama spoke, but not Clinton.. I guess they were afraid that he might take over the ceremony. He spoke yesterday for Aretha and got a standing ovation.
Bush did a good job.. but Obama excelled, as usual. It's too bad that he can't be our President again. He is "a class act."
I received bad DNA news this week. The lady I thought was going to be my sister, turned out to be a first cousin instead. This means that I have to figure out some way to pinpoint who my biological father was.. how on earth can I do this. I know that in ten years some DNA sampling will be extended to inanimate objects, like a person's comb. But, that will probably be too late for me.
The opera, FAUST by Gounod is playing on WETA-FM. I wonder if trump sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his riches and high office. We'll see if he can survive the slings and arrows of his former "friends" who have decided to "rat" on him.
I watched all of the new segments of Orange is the New Black and then decided to review the whole series again. Wow! How did I miss all the subtle bi-product stories the first time. By going back again, I can piece together the bits and pieces related to each lady's story. Very rewarding. Also, I don't remember so much quasi-porn before.. could they have enhanced the film? Anyway, it is fun seeing how life in a prison for ladies is so much like Americans in Stalags in World War II.
I started rehab for my back's pinched disk, and its wearing me out.. so I'm going to lay down. Bye for now.
