Farewell Facebook... My last post. A remembrance for myself.
I joined FB back in 2008 just to play Scrabulous with Christopher Gillen. I thought it was stupid, but I stayed, and I stayed, and I stayed. I met up with old friends and made new friends, and I stayed. Schmucky Penguin Fucker Mark

Contradicting public statements, Trump took secret flight from Turkey amid Iranian threat
