Happy Father's Day, 2024 -- June 16, 2024

Happy Fathers' Day to all my fellow fathers. I miss my dad. And I miss my father-in-law. I haven't had anyone for whom to buy a card for a long time. I am lucky to have a great daughter and son-in-law.

Just last night, for the first time, I watched Ryan Coogler's Fruitvale Station, about the murder of Oscar Grant by a BART cop in 2009. Michael B Jordan played Oscar Grant. Grant was a young man who was as imperfect as we all are, but he was striving to be better, especially as a father to his young daughter. I could empathize with his struggle. All the performances were strong and convincing. The scenes on BART brought back memories.

I was surprised I didn't write about the case in my other blog.
