Although she may tell you it feels like 300 years, today marks Linda and my 30th anniversary. We might even be daring enough to go out to eat, if the desired establishment has a COVID plan in place. We’re crazy impulsive, we are. *Next* year on September 9th, a year from tomorrow, is 40 yearsContinue reading “The Big Three Oh!”

Fall can’t get here fast enough
Over the couple weeks when I’ve gone out first thing in the morning for the run, I’ve noticed the change. Gettin’ a bit cooler, and the scent of honeysuckle in the air. At least, what I imagine honeysuckle would smell like, as I don’t know what it looks like, or smells like. But as IContinue reading “Fall can’t get here fast enough”
Animating Doctor Who’s Marco Polo- the proposal
The BBC occasionally has a good idea here and there. Committing to animating some of the 1960’s missing episodes of Doctor Who is one of them. They started out small, animating certain missing episodes to compliment the existing eps of certain stories. The Invasion. The Ice Warriors. Reign of Terror. The Tenth Planet. The Moonbase.Continue reading “Animating Doctor Who’s Marco Polo- the proposal”
The Greece Trip
This was our 2007 trip, the follow up to Italy two years earlier. Not nearly as successful though. Some things went really well, others definitely did not. The plan was to fly into Athens, then take a cruise around the islands. Our proposed ship was the state of art, most technologically advanced cruise ship around andContinue reading “The Greece Trip”
The Snyder Cut is Coming
A few years ago, Zach Snyder was the hand picked guy, either by producer Christopher Nolan or Warner bros. to take the lead in expanding the DC Comics cinematic universe. Nolan had this power because Warner bros. was very happy with all the money Nolan made them with his Dark Knight trilogy (Batman Begins, TheContinue reading “The Snyder Cut is Coming”
Forgot–My Other “Birthday”!
A year ago, in a process that stretched out over two days, I was re-gifted my stem cells. They were all scrubbed up and shiny though and everyone involved in the process was fond of saying it was my “birthday” or a “rebirth” or “birth of an all new idiot” or something. I wasn’t payingContinue reading “Forgot–My Other “Birthday”!”

Why I’ll never play King George
(it probably needn’t be said lack of talent is the primary reason but read on!) Although I know Jonathan Groff primarily from the excellent Netflix series Mindhunter, I was totally unaware he was already a Broadway legend. I’ve slowly been learning this as I drop down into YouTube wormholes, where he seems to appear withContinue reading “Why I’ll never play King George”
What Would Pam Do?
My friend Pam loves animals. Bugs. All forms of life*. Even does Bird Rescue. All very noble and compassionate. She would willingly make various forms of sacrifices at any and all times, just for the sake of showing common courtesy to the smallest, tiniest life form (again, *). So, whenever there’s an animal in someContinue reading “What Would Pam Do?”
About Those Missing Episodes…
About Those Missing Episodes… For decades, we Doctor Who fans have had to live with the knowledge that in the early 1970’s, the BBC had a practice of destroying tapes of programs to make room in the warehouse, as space was limited. So, of the approximately 253 eps of Doctor Who made in the 1960’s,Continue reading “About Those Missing Episodes…”
