    Gianluca Vialli

    Vialli on a Netflix documenatry, he's scared of death but also curious about what happens after life. Nothing new about the illness though: https://www.calcionews24.com/vialli-malattia-non-solo-sofferenza-alcuni-momenti-bellissimi/ https://football-italia.net/vialli-im-scared-of-death-but-excited-to-see-what-happens/

    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    Reality is messing with my reading schedule. In Decembre, during a trip to Naples, I started Mary Beard's SPQR book. But before finishing it, I really got into the Witcher series and read the first 1,5 books. I had to interrupt the second book for Catherine Belton's "Putin's People". Very insightful, and if I had read it before the war, I would have been certain that Putin wants the whole Ukraine.

    This deserves an emoji, I just don't know which one.

    Jost Vacano, Oscar-nominated cinematographer for "Das Boot", also worked on Total Recall and other Paul Verhoeven projects. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jost_Vacano Turns 88 next week and is currently suing the production company for not having received enough pay for his work (it's complicated): https://www.spiegel.de/kultur/das-boot-kameramann-jost-vacano-von-einigung-kann-keine-rede-sein-a-80f58158-4772-497a-80fd-072e48d7853e

    FIFA World Cup Players

    German WC champion of 1974, Jürgen Grabowski, has died at 77: https://www.spiegel.de/sport/fussball/fussball-weltmeister-von-1974-juergen-grabowski-ist-tot-a-e50500ee-daa8-4bf6-94c4-323f39a173d7 Unknown reason so far, but he was on dialysis in recent years. He also was a long-time member of Eintracht Frankfurt and won the UEFA Cup in 1980 with them.

    House arrest... the only way out may be through the window.

    Vicky Phelan originally planned to climb a mountain together with Irish broadcaster Charlie Bird on April 2nd, but predictably, she now had to cancel this: https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/people/arid-40824774.html She's been in hospice care for the past two weeks and has suffered complications from her radiotherapy.

    ISIS has a new leader and gives a confirmation of their previous leader's death: https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/islamic-state-confirms-death-its-leader-names-new-chief-2022-03-10/ Congratulations MPFC for a well-chosen, yet unique, desirable hit.

    Marianne Faithfull

    Nah, that's the commentary of that journalist. I meant the headline of the quoted article, "Mick Jagger's ex-love Marianne moves into a care home".

    Marianne Faithfull

    A bit sad that the twitter headline reduces her to being a girlfriend.

    Big, if true, but Missoula mayor John Engen has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and yahoo is ON THE CASE: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/missoula-mayor-john-engen-diagnosed-163009919.html Missoula is a city in western Montana and has roughly 70.000 inhabitants. About 55% of employment in Missoula is made up of the service and retail sectors. Export industries are concentrated in heavy and civil engineering, construction, beverage production, technical services, truck transportation, and forestry-, logging-, and wood-related industries. In addition to nearly 4 million out-of-state visitors annually, which makes tourism a significant aspect of the Missoula economy, Missoula also is home to a vibrant sector of alternative healthcare.

    Phil Collins (And Other Genesis Types)

    Makes me wonder what it is that makes him so weak. I mean, doesn't look to me like he's terminally ill. What is the affliction?

    Vladimir Putin

    I have just arrived back in Berlin from a trip to the Baltics. Putin would have to kill each and every Lithuanian and Latvian to conquer these countries. The sheer disgust at Russia's past and present behaviour was overwhelming.

    Pelé

    Between a lot of positive words his son says that "he's still fighting" and "we're hoping that he'll recover": https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/pele-brazil-health-chemotherapy-b986404.html Sounds to me like the fight might soon be over and recovery is the less likely scenario.

    Ideas and possibilities for 2023

    This is all becoming very ghoulish but Steve Woodmore has opened a gofundme to pay for a wheelchair lifter for his car. He can't carry it himself anymore. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-steve-get-a-car-wheelchair-hoist?utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_source=customer Well, I am quite certain that his pancreatic cancer will spread quickly and it will all be over in, roughly, July.

    Who are the immortals?

    Yes, a Cup pick of mine. He has a terrible health history, I was actually surprised about all of that. If he survives this month, he should be added.
