Music, books, travel, and Gamecocks forever.
Today is the 16th anniversary of losing our daughter to leukemia. People who have never experienced the heartbreak of pediatric cancer have absolutely no idea how devastating it is to lose a child. Particularly in light of the relative lack of research done for pediatric versus adult treatment.

Gabriella Miller was an extraordinary pediatric cancer advocate who died at age 10. I was lucky enough to know her. The Gabriella Miller Kids First Pediatric Research Program was established in her honor in 2014.

Tonight, Republicans cut it from their spending bill. www.newsweek.com/pediatric-ca...
Funding for pediatric cancer research removed from spending bill
The bill's new version does not include funding for several programs that was in the original bill proposed by the House speaker.

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

I registered quite a few years ago now and it was incredibly straightforward to do. Please do consider it.
🚨8-year-old Lilian has a rare blood disorder & needs a #lifesaver! Her stem cell donor match fell through, leaving her family devastated💔

Now, she’s back at square one but you can help by registering as a DKMS stem cell donor. It’s easy to do🙏

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

If any assignment editors are reading -- I bet a full accounting of all the financial support Elon Musk and his companies received from the federal government would make for great reading when he inevitably tells all the poors they have to start making sacrifices.

Last play of the game.

A snowball fight and snow angel celebration follows.

He's an all-time great and a 60 percent Al Michaels performance is still better than basically any other NFL play-by-play guy, but it was fun to hear him so keyed up for the Browns/Steelers snow game. Tapping into the universal elderly person love of bad weather and turning back the clock.

The bad news is… 43 monkeys escaped from a South Carolina laboratory.

The good news is… They captured 5 of them by baiting them with McDonald’s.
