President Barack Obama greets an enthusiastic crowd during the Greater Boston Labor Council Labor Day Breakfast at the Park Plaza Hotel, September 07, 2025
Good night TOD!
Congratulations Bill for being #1!
What a lovely day and so much to catch up on. If only my eyes would cooperateeeee…zzzzzzzzzz
Okay. Lights out….(click)
How come I’m only just learning that HRC has two younger brothers? I have never seen or heard of them before flunking the question in the Hillary quiz I completed a few mins ago. Learned some interesting little tidbits too. Of course I failed miserably. :/
Nessun Dorma ( No One Sleeps) by Pavarotti Totally wonderful……. my favorite ( I went to a concert in Portland, Oregon where he performed. What a pleasure!)
One of my favorites as well, Bill. Was able to be present for a couple of his performances in Manhattan. Among the most memorable, moving music experiences of my life!!
When I was a sophomore exchange college student in Pavia, Italy, one of the professors who was involved with our program was Prof. Lido Botti. He had two young children, a boy and a girl, who were with him along with his wife. The boy was a little guy, kindergarten or first grade age and was fluent in Italian. His name was Chris. He went on to have a stunning career playing the trumpet as you may well know Chris Botti’s world renowned work. Here’s a recording of him accompanying a beautiful and talented vocalist who sings “The Look of Love.”
Thank you, Bill.
I am having a difficult time sleeping and came here to do some more catch up and wandered into a musical explosion.
This was fantastic!
The band and singer were absolutely powerful.
(who are they?)
Botti is great!
This is from a 2009 concert in Boston, uploaded 2 yrs ago. The YouTube description of the video says the singer is Sy Smith. Another version of this performance on YouTube shows Chris introducing her as cousin of the guitarist, Mark Whitfield.
Buona sera!
Bill!
Congrats, Bill!

#BiteMeBernie
(Sorry - it’s just my new reflex action.)
:shock: Now, JO’B. Careful what you wish for!
Ha!
:D :D

Ha! J’OB, I like your hashtag 😎
I borrowed it from desertflower! Didn’t think she’d mind!
Well it’s Priceless! Since DF doesn’t tweet then you should send it out where it will be a PSA (public service announcement) 😃
I hope to insert it here, there, and everywhere. :)
You are up!!!! :D
Hahaha, I’m preparing to return to the West coast in the morning 😎
Ah, another doctor’s visit comes to a close! Well, hope you had a good time and will have a hassle-free return journey.
You got jokes vc 😘
Zoom zoom ✈️
Early or night flight?
Travel safe GGail!
Way too many diverse people in that picture to be one of BS’s crowd!
:D :D Point!!!
Did Bernie Sanders speak anywhere today?
BTW, I am not surprised that he has been invited to speak at Liberty University. It says a lot about his campaign.
I don’t know COS. I never pay any attention to the guy; s-disturbers are no good to my blood pressure.
Not sure if this was posted earlier. R.I.P.
R.I.P. Mrs. Jackson. He look a lot like his mother. I wasn’t aware that she had passed.
Just happened to spot it. She was 91, apparently. That’s a good long life, for sure.
Rest in peace Mother Jackson.
May she rest in peace.
Good night TOD!

We have come too far to not continue to love him and keep his back. Good night my Chips and TOD family. I love you all so dearly.HZ

This is my absolute favorite aria.
I never had the pleasure of witnessing his performance in person. That must have been simply divine!
