A throwback to July 1992 to a photo of me trying to look cool at Jim Morrison's grave at Père Lachaise in Paris. Seems so long ago... #Doors #JimMorrison #Paris

So, I ordered a takeaway from one of the nearby Italian restaurants where I live via a delivery app. A decent Carabonara and Bruscetta. I was explaining to my mother the deal and how good the food was. "Oh," she said. "I can see you won't starve!" Every time I visit, she's like." "Did you eat?" 😂😎

A day off walk down to Lake Ave., our local business district. Appreciating the particular blend of smells: garbage, weed, tacos, probably other minor notes.

Moving and powerful words from the Archbishop at the Funeral Mass of Judge Frank Caprio from the Gospel of Matthew. We don't need to pray for him now. Let's pray thru his intercession as in his life he cared for the broken and those in need. "Good and faithful servant..." #FrankCaprio #RIP
