When I go out with ankle brace, knee brace and arm sling on, so many people ask me what happened, and I always sense disappointment when I tell them it was a stroke. I think I'll start saying it was from roof hopping.

I don't get this. Is the l pronounced in some regions? Even according to m-w.com the l is not pronounced.

I’ve been quiet on here but I have an excuse: I had a #stroke! Now at home and busy with #rehab, but I’m also back online (and it’s a lifeline for me especially now…).

After accidentally activating our living room Alexa umpteen times when all I meant to do was talk ABOUT her, I now refer to her in the third person as "Dingbat" and find that oddly satisfying.

For the first time I can recall in this century, a car passed me last night blasting Starship's "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" with the windows down. If that song is "retro cool" now I am concerned

My dad used to actually say, Wait til you're in your 80s, a year goes by in a month.

I bought a 3-pack of cucumbers a couple of weeks ago and just today finished the last one before they could go bad. I feel like I deserve a sticker or something!

I'm so fortunate to get to make music with these amazing people!

REM! I am not one to obsess about the past but it felt good to languish in it for a bit.

Honte à Netanyahu, tout son gouvernement et ceux qui le soutiennent pour le génocide sadique des Gazaouis. La phase actuelle d'élimination ethnique ne sera jamais pardonnée pour tous ceux qui y ont participé.

As a clue into my personality this would have been my dream job had my life matched this time period. So very interesting.

I feel blessed by the universe to have grown up during the late 70s & early 80s and been shaped by so much amazing music. Today's backdrop to morning coffee is The Fixx's Reach the Beach LP.

I'm willing to bet a dollar that even the most cold hearted among us has replied "thank you" when ChatGPT totally answered the question

For the record, I will continue limiting myself to the $29 earbuds until my compulsion to run them through the laundry abates.

The wonderful words one learns reading the daily news in another language: “papable” (in Spanish; “papabile” in Italian) = suitable to be considered for the position of pope.

Oh MY, we are excited about our upcoming "Exhale" concert on May 24 - to say we've been holding our breath since "Inhale" last fall is only exaggerating a little. 🙃And we're partnering with our friends at Choirs for Change to make that weekend a double header for those interested: /2 🧵

Definitely feels like spring seeing the 2nd cruise ship of the season already. (I am not referring to the ferry also pictured. 🛥️) #Halifax

I do believe that's the technical term for it!

Friends, please stop starting your posts with "BREAKING:" just to make them look more important. In this chaotic time all it does is create more stress for people you care about.

The arena from air

The Roman amphitheatre in Verona is actually older than Colosseum, dating back to AD 30. It is a "working" UNESCO World Heritage Site, with 22,000 seats every summer for opera. The summer opera season started in 1913. It was used for Diodato's 2020 video. #RomanSiteSaturday

I feel small for saying it but I smiled at this photo. 🇨🇦

Looking for something to put on our croissants this morning I found a can of almond filling at the back of the cupboard and feel like I have accomplished all I need to today!

Brightly coloured vinyl album cover featuring cartoonish depictions of the band members

Every #ABC album was different but this was their best. Their image during this phase was utterly manufactured and they were too clever to care. Effortlessly cool tracks include "Tower of London" and "So Hip It Hurts." #HowToBeAZillionaire #1985 #vinyl
