polar duck

It hasn't even been 48 hours and I've already got a miss with Zvi Zamir. I chose his nemesis Eli Zeira instead. My subs were [UNIQUE], Denis Law, and Theodore McCarrick. Some other names I strongly considered were Alfredo Astiz, Chaka Khan, Jim Inhofe, Alan Greenspan, Gene Shalit, Willie Mays, Noam Chomsky, Michael Flatley, Tom Girardi, Dennis Hastert, Toby Keith, Sander Levin, Richard Lewis, Bob Packwood, Jim Sensenbrenner, Yahya Sinwar, Renee Taylor, and Eddie Vrdolyak. There are a few more names I might be able to use as uniques for next year.

I saw MTT in concert last month. He looked great for someone with terminal cancer.

Was about to say this. Jim Lovell would have been a great pick.

Hmm... I wonder what may have caused this.

Hoax

Finally changed my avatar to a real polar duck

New round! Nobody got it. I'll stick with December 28.

Chuck Grassley is now the fifth-oldest sitting Senator in US history, having surpassed Dianne Feinstein's age at her time of death.

Turned 90 years old yesterday. He's been "relatively stable" since the end of last year.

This is only about the San Francisco Symphony. MTT still has concerts scheduled up to May 2024.

It deeply disturbs me that all the rants about Ruth Langsford's mother have been search-indexed.

People with her disease are expected to last "six to 28 years", so her heart will go on until at least 2028.

The only "objectionable" person I can think of is Shige Mineshiba (a non-notable supercentenarian), but she was only a sub so it hardly matters.
