First true Saturday home in retirement- traveled and had some @DandC stories to finish earlier this month - and went for run, wrote 3 Substacks in my head, then trimmed some bushes. Trust me, I’ll be napping by 2.
Very sympathetic @SeamusHughes . I now have to cover my own Pacer costs.

I had planned to start Substack Monday but major news in the Buffalo massacre/social media lawsuit. garycraig919628.substack.com/p/appellate-co…

Thanks to @Delta . Because of their grounded flights on June 28, we had to scurry to get to JFK - en route to Ireland - on another airline. Once back, we sought reimbursement for that cost and received within 24 hours after giving out info. Thanks again @delta.
With the settlement from the Diocese of Rochester it's a good time to remember the late Will Astor and his coverage for the Rochester Beacon. Here is an obituary from @LathropMad14937 : democratandchronicle.com/story/news/202…
A settlement in Diocese of Rochester bankruptcy. The insurers all finally onboard:
