That’s The Prime Minister of Defence, ex #Bluejays John McDonald, hitting grounders to his son here at the ballpark on Fathers’ Day. How beautiful is that?

This aged well.

I've never felt such a steep generational divide as I do teaching 9th graders right now. They wanted to record me saying "sixty-seven". (nope) When I showed them part of BBC's "Life" (2009) a student asked if it was real or A.I. generated.
