Out of the Blue

Thanks to those of you who shared sympathies or their own grief stories in response to my post yesterday. Things got serious and it brought out some more sadness and a lot of kindness. It's nice to have people being there for each other.

But for a tone change, maybe it's good timing that today is Talk Like a Pirate Day. This is about as lighthearted as it gets. Yarr!

I'm now picturing a bunch of anti-vaxxers being keelhauled by the Dread Pirate Roberts or made to walk the plank by Blackbeard. Thanks a lot BoP.

I just caved and bought Ghost of Tsushima at 20% off on Steam. Hoping it's good on Steam Deck (single player mode). Comments/recommendations welcome.

30-40mins for moderate to vigour physical activity can offset the negative impact of sitting for +10 hours a day.

I moved the mouse more intensely for about 40 mins and hope this will do the trick.

Missed your posting yesterday, Blue. I hope your wife and friends helped you over the sad day and memories.

I don't think much of the day my father and the exact dates that unfortunately quite a few other relatives and friends have passed over the last few decades, but I always make sure to remember their birthdays and the parties we had. The final days are never good and most people would like us to remember them in their heydays, I think. At least my father and my friends would have prefered this.
