Many happy returns — literally & figuratively!

Happy Birthday (No. 37!) to the gentleman pictured in today’s snapshot lede. He started out in the shipping dep’t. over here at Cynthia Publishing Co., way back when, and it appears he’s done OK for himself since then — no lasting psychological or emotional damage sustained, unlike some of us others who continue to shuffle around in a shellshocked daze! Just kidding — maybe! At any rate, mazel! Yom huledet samecha etc.!

Getting there!

Good afternoon still from the mild & Golden West, where jacaranda season is in-bloom in many parts of the County of Los Angeles in sunny Southern California. Pictured in today’s snapshot lede is the taller of the two trees gracing the front of the Worldwide Home Office Headquarters in Upper Nichols Canyon, just above the flats of Studio City. When the blooms get to this stage of the game, the purple mountains majesty is just about to explode. Come on! One time!

A Philly Institution…

Friday, and for a long time in the Delaware Valley, and then later on via syndication, Friday meant ‘Friday with Frank’ as presented by the gentleman in today’s video lede: Mistah Sid Frank.

Done & dusted! On to Budapest!

Well, fútbol aficionados, your No. London Arse has advanced to yet another Cup final this season — after having lost in the finals of two domestic cup competitions in the past month — by defeating Atlético Madrid by the famous scoreline of 1-nil in this evening’s second leg of their Champions League semifinal, and winning the tie 2-1 on aggregate. So, another final for the Gunners awaits; can they get the long-sought-after hardware that has eluded them for an eternity now? They’ll face the winner of the defenceless PSG-Bayern Munich showdown being contested tomorrow. As always, #COYG!
