Ooooo... Happy birfday DAD !

Yay, hope it is fun, and since the US news, ABC in this case covered the wedding while you were hardly waking up... forget watching, you don't need it, never saw such drivel, and you need family and love, and the bestest of wishes, so you enjoy your day. I'd make a chocolate cake if you were there.... so think of it, and pretend it's true.

And to anyone wanting to send congrats, it's his ninety-sixth, not ninety seventh, which he acidly (smile) pointed out. I must have figured in a leap year there somewhere along the line. Sorry, Ven...

I never friggin' HEARD of over 200 tornadoes zooming through the Southeast in one night, and all ABC and Today could do was MENTION it now and then while gushing over an antiquated system which (ahem!) we overthrew over 200 years ago, but now they are 'cool' or something?

But that is what that channel was feeding you, not the horrific facts of what those storms wrought or bearing witness to the people who died.
Royals age fascinates me. Princess Anne looks phenomenally dire these days.

It might be depressing, but you might find a channel which has real news on the tee-vee, and maybe you might want to donate a few dollars to the Salvation Army in Alabama. We have relatives there, after all, although we never talk about them much... I don't even know where they are, so don't know whether to worry or not.

So... enjoy family, avoid that toxic Anglican stuff on the tee-vee if you can avoid it, donate something if you feel like it, and get my so-called brother to take you out to a sleazy place and have someone really nice give you a lap dance. I probably would find someone curvaceious for you, being the shame of the family, but I think I would enjoy corrupting you.

Whatever, you have fun. And excuse the extremity, the Royals piss me off, but the media even more. And riiiiiht, the company spent millions to set up in London, so they 'had' to report so lavishly. As if anyone cared, hey....
