So sorry Ozgur....especially difficult when there's family "things" going on.  Glad you and your dad got to visit and pay respect.  RIP to your aunt....

Happy New Year everyone!

Bit bittersweet for me.  The last few years Karen and I have had mixed celebrations: 3 years ago at some friends' place in NH, we went to bed early but watched the ball drop on streaming.  Two years ago, same friends weren't feeling well so we skipped, but watched the ball drop.

Last year, too tired, went to bed early.

This year, I fell asleep reading, but woke up at ~11:40 to turn on the TV and watch the ball drop.  When the clock struck midnight, I turned to the other side of the bed...and started crying.

The sweet side was some of my closest friends sharing pics and texts for the New Year, our bonds are ever closer.

Hoping that 2026 is a much better year....for me, for my family, for all of us here, and for our country and the world!

My aunt who was suffering from cancer passed away this morning, imho she was in extremely bad shape, her suffering end. Me and my father went ro their home for condolences, my mother didn't. People who didn't know what has happened between them keep asking for her. It was fucking sad and awkward. At least my mother isn't angry with me and my father for visiting them. Gonna attend the funeral tomorrow.

Other than that 1st day of being vegan was easy. Got some vitamin supplements for not risking proper Nourishment and plant(pea) based protein powder. 

Condolences, both about your aunt and your veganism.

No, seriously, you're a better man than I.

Today NASA hosted a chat session with my nephew.  We got to catch up with him, talk about things he's doing, etc.

He took us on a bit of a tour and we got to see his view from ISS.  And....fancy that....the world really IS round! 🤣

'Twas very very cool!  Pics are screen captures, and video quality was so-so.  But wow.....
