Today’s Thoughts

Clouds are coming in. No moisture expected.

The family American Flag will be flying for Flag Day.

The news channels are Trump, Trump, Trump. History in the making.

Congrats to the NBA Champs: Denver! I still remember when they were the Denver Rockets in the ABA. Well deserved championship after all these years.

I woke up this morning feeling much better. I’m expecting to continue to improve.

Enjoy

Regarded as co-founding the Cubist movement as well as progressing several other styles of art, Pablo Picasso is considered to be one of the most influential artists of the 20th century. Born in 1881, he lived a long and eventful life until his death in 1973.

This was the same year that the psychedelic rock group Pink Floyd released Dark Side of the Moon, one of the most successful and groundbreaking records in the history of music. Today, it is still considered one of the greatest albums of all time.
