A Time To Die And A Time To Heal

Four years ago today, I began what would become the first day of the rest of my life. On Feb. 3, 2022, my girlfriend, Kerry Kerr, died of an illness. We had been spending time apart because Covid and some other issues that made it hard for us to be together.   It pissed me off because two years earlier on the sameContinue reading “A Time To Die And A Time To Heal”

‘Stranger Things’ Ends With A Bang

TV shows are always problematic in what the writers had intended and what the public ends up wanting. Let’s not forget that sometimes an actor’s portrayal of a character never full works out. Or the actor leaves or sadly dies.   Ten years ago when the Duffer Brothers (Matt and Ross) were putting the final touches on their first season, they probably didn’t anticipate the cultural phenomenon the show wouldContinue reading “‘Stranger Things’ Ends With A Bang”

Well, It’s Groundhog Day…Again!

Today is Feb. 2 which is typically known as Groundhog Day, which has become more famous thanks in part to the 1993 fantasy-dramedy by the same name directed by Harold Ramis and starring Bill Murray. Punxustawney Phil who resides at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxustawney, Penn. claimed to have seen his shaow which means there areContinue reading “Well, It’s Groundhog Day…Again!”

Remember The Columbia Crew

I was living with my ex in a house that is no longer there on the morning of Feb. 1, 2003. Beverly woke me up that morning telling me the space shuttle had exploded.   I didn’t know what she really meant. I had briefly heard about the Columbia mission a week or so earlier. What was so creepy was that itContinue reading “Remember The Columbia Crew”

Born and raised in the Toronto area in an Irish Catholic household, Catherine O’Hara was on SCTV with other greats like John Candy, Rick Moranis, and Eugene Levy.

Never Forget The Challenger Crew

For the most part, I don’t remember seeing the Challenger explosion on TV at school, even though several of my friends say we saw it.   Maybe they did and I was sick that day. I was almost certain it was a snow day so the school had canceled classes that day. I was in the first grade and only 7 so I probably don’t remember too well.   On thisContinue reading “Never Forget The Challenger Crew”

Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse

For the most part, I’ve always believed it’s going to get worse before it gets better. But the question you always want to know is – how much worse can it get?   In any normal society, the massacre at Columbine High School back in 1999 would’ve been the breaking point. But no matter how many predominantly white schools suffer massacres, it seems the powers that be react by doing everythingContinue reading “Things Have To Get Better, Because We May Not Survive If They Get Worse”
