I created and uploaded onto my YouTube channel this short opinion video about the WNBA. (length: 1 minute, 27 seconds) ... I may make short opinion videos a sporadic or a regular feature of my channel.

I am participating, so, sincerely, if I have ever wronged you, I am sorry. Please forgive me. Remember. Forgiving someone is partially for the other person, but it is mostly for yourself.

Today, we recognize words that do not rhyme with any other words in the English language, like the word orange. Eminem said that it "pisses me off" when people claim the word orange does not rhyme with anything, explaining that you can make it rhyme by bending and breaking down syllables. In an interview, he famously freestyled the lines: "I put my orange, four-inch, door-hinge in storage and ate porridge with George."

I have not knowingly eaten burnt ends.

September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. I created and uploaded a short video last year in this regard onto my YouTube channel. (length: 1 minute) ... I thought it better to post it again instead of creating and posting a new video where I would say the same thing.

I created and uploaded onto my YouTube channel this video to wish my dearly departed father (August 30, 1934 - February 14, 1997) a Happy Birthday. (length: 1 minute, 42 seconds)
Happy Birthday Dad (August 30, 2026)
From husband Bill, August 30, 2026, home
Happy Birthday to my father (August 30, 1934 - February 14, 1997). I still sorely and immensely miss him.
The top photo shows my dad and me in December 1974 at the house of my great-aunt Rose in East Orange, New Jersey. I was 13 years old. The bottom photo shows my dad aboard the Queen Elizabeth II (QEII) cruise ship during the 1980s; I can't remember exactly when it was.
My dad died at age 62 on his mother's birthday -- she passed away on May 22, 1977 -- and the day after the birthday of his sister who still resides on Long Island, New York.
Dad was cremated. Half of his ashes were interred at Breslau Cemetery in Lindenhurst, Long Island, New York. The other half of his ashes were scattered into the North Atlantic Ocean from a U.S. Navy ship. Dad served 22 years in the Navy and retired at the rank of Commander. He was a few months short of Captain. He served on a ship in the late 1950s, transporting World War II DPs (displaced persons or, as he called them, delayed pilgrims) from Bremerhaven, Germany, to New York City.
For decades, my dad owned and operated three agencies in Lindenhurst, the town where he grew up: insurance, real estate, and travel. The latter was run by my mother; we now live less than a mile from each other in southeastern Florida. My dad retired to Maryland in the early 1990s, but he soon became a car salesman.
My father had a twin brother named Wilbur who died in 1935 at the age of 9 months due to spinal meningitis.
Note: My dear friend's departed father from childhood in the 1960s shares the same birthday as my dad, so I wish him a Happy Birthday.

My favorite beach is Robert Moses State Park, Fields 4 and 5, on the south-central coast of Long Island, New York. I grew up several miles from this beach.
When I lived there, I loved it during the summertime, but I preferred walking on its shoreline, embracing the coldness of wintertime.
I live in southeastern Florida, and no beach can even compare to the greatness of Fields 4 and 5.
(great memories)

Grief fades over time, but never truly disappears, so we learn to live within it. Some people unfortunately never learn how. Remember the good times; forgive the bad times; no regrets; and continue on with your life. Remember them, but remember, life is for the living.

"Height Rewires Women's Brains"
Men's height short-circuits the female brain. I thought that this very short video was worth posting. It basically says that women actually are NOT able to establish (differentiate) between if a man is cute or if he is just tall. That means an ugly man who is six-feet-four will be successful. Interesting. I like this interpersonal stuff.

❤️ ... I love everything about Canada, except for its politics, especially not its Trump Derangement Syndrome. This meme is funny, so I thought I would share it with you. MAGA !!! Hey, he could have renamed it Lake Trump ... or the Gulf of Trump like he did with "Palm Beach International Airport," now officially named "President Donald J. Trump International Airport." 👍 LOL 😆 ... My wife is from T.O. (Toronto, Ontario, Canada).

Today (August 28, 2026) is International Read Comics In Public Day. Yes, I have read comics in public, mostly in the cars of the New York City subways and in the trains of the Long Island Rail Road in the mid-1990s.
My favorite comic book character is Jughead Jones (Forsythe Pendleton Jones III), but I didn't start reading his comic books until the mid-1990s, when I was in my mid-30s. At that time, I was working in New York City as a reporter, writer, editor, and researcher for an international weekly magazine on the financial and technical aspects of the chemical industry.
My brain was immersed in complex information every day, so I decided that I needed something simplistic to read during my non-working hours. I remembered that I liked Jughead in the 1960s and 1970s (newspaper comics, TV cartoons), so I started picking up the Jughead Jones Digests every month at the supermarket to take my mind off of chemicals.
I have been a fan of Jughead since I was a kid in the 1960s. I enjoyed the comic strips, which I still do, and The Archies Show cartoon TV series that aired for one season in 1968, when I was seven years old.
I am a huge fan of Jughead Jones, mainly because we are very much alike: He's lazy, awkward, clumsy, and a free spirit, plus he likes to eat, especially hamburgers, and is NOT popular with the ladies.
I still have those digests from the 1990s.

I prefer red wine to white wine. I like Italian red wines, especially a nice fruity Chianti, and Austrian (not Australian) dry white wines.
Hint: If you need to stay awake for partying, drink white wine. If you want to relax and fall asleep/pass out, drink red wine.

I like cherry turnovers. I am sure that I would love them with chocolate ice cream.

I do have one (pre-knotted) bow tie: dark purple with somewhat of a paisley pattern.

I am a big fan of Jesse Lee Peterson, a black American conservative talk show host, political commentator, and Christian minister who started White History Month (July) and Men's History Month (August), both in 2018. Here, he speaks of patriotism.
