Icctrombone, so sorry. I can only tell you that we went through this with a friend who died in her thirties from cancer and left a little girl behind. A few years later one of my sisters, lost her husband (other causes) when her two kids were little. With the help of families and friends, all three of those kids emerged strong people. Kindness and thoughtfulness will count for a lot. And you are so so right. Cancer sucks, sucks, sucks.

Yesterday I went with my wife’s family to spread my sister in laws ashes. My wife has a co-worker that owns a boat and lives in Long Island. It was my sister in law’s wish to be in the water. It was a beautiful day and Maybe my wife can begin to heal from her loss. She left behind a 7 year old girl and she was only 44. I hate cancer. Sorry to read that. Life sucks at times, I know. Take care today.

I hate cancer more than anything in this world. I have lost 4 loved ones to cancer in the past 8 years. It just sucks.

Today I learned that The Flatiron Building is empty and has been since 2019. Sad.

Also, I think there have been several unsuccessful attempts to sell it as well. Apparently it was auctioned off, the winner couldn’t come up with the money and it was re-auctioned off. My understanding is the current owner is planning to renovate it into apartments (or maybe condos).

By the looks of it, it should be the secret headquarters of some mysterious organisation. Or haunted, at the very least.

Cei-U! It sure as heck won't be me!

I've seen it before somewhere, for sure. I have a hazy idea that it's appeared in more than one movie over the years, as well it should, though I can't remember which ones.

It's one of NY's most iconic buildings; it's appeared in the background of dozens if not hundreds of movies and TV shows over the years.

Tomorrow I start my 11 day vacation. I'm not going away but I planned to go to a comic show on Saturday in Long Island about 90 minutes away. I've never been to this show so I made a mini overnight trip for myself. I Booked a hotel to have some alone time. This has been a rough year for my wife and I . With her blessing , I am having a night to myself. I hope to score some nice funny books and I even catalogued the loose books that I've purchased in order to not buy duplicates. Wish me luck.

Enjoy, Icctrombone! In this hectic world we live in, every day off we can get is worth all the treasures of Golconda!

There's a wildfire presently burning in a neighbouring town. The evacuation zone's not far away from where I live, only within 7 km.
Living in British Columbia, in the central Okanagan, wildfires are a constant threat every summer, but this is the closest any major fire has ever come to my own neighbourhood. I'm dreading this.
