        Worth noting: Kerry, 74, enlisted during Vietnam & decorated officer w/Purple Heart; Meanwhile, W, 72, was AWOL & Cheney, 77, 5 deferments, yet they sent kids to Iraq to die & have limbs blown off. Trump, 72, played golf w/5 deferments. And Republicans attacked Kerry war record?

        I tell you one thing, just based off his interview with @billmaher last night, John Kerry sounds exquisitely confident and qualified to lead this country out of the shithole that Donald Foxcatcher Trump dug for us.

        He was also the best person to lead us out of four years of Bush...Baby Boomers (on average, not all) really screwed the pooch there.

        Eighteen-year-old in jacket and tie at a sporting event. Young people today don't realise that 1962 was long, long before the Sixties. 😁

        I'm sometimes surprised to see the contexts in which I was wearing a tie in old photos.

        Note the lady wearing white gloves. I remember those. As a girl, I owned several. I’m a dinosaur.

        We used to get a new pair for Easter church service. I felt so fancy. Easter basket chocolate and white gloves didn't pair well though.
