I hope I got it right the second time. I will admit that classic music was never my strength. Also, I don’t have anyone with me in the mornings to help. Thank you for helping me.

RIP Mr. Redford. Thank you for all the years of joy you brought us.

Dear GenZers,

What are your sources of news and why? Also, do you consider yourself politically homeless?

Never saw and don’t intend to. 🙄🤣

I have to get it. 🙂

Nope. I just have to keep up. Sorry.
