Feeling a bit crotchety these days.
But travel, books, music, food and drink can still bring some joy.
And humor. Even dark humor.

In 2013, Trump tweeted that he wanted to be best friends with Putin. Nothing that happened today is a surprise. Trump has been looking to be Putin‘s wing man for a dozen years. This afternoon, he demonstrated his love for that tyrannical thug.
