I was watching a Great Performances episode on “In the Heights” (I might be a little addicted) this morning, and it got me to thinking of my own theatrical journey, as much as it pales in comparison to those great
Wakanda Forever!
Just a few thoughts on this Wakanda Weekend: Anyone who has known me any length of time knows I am completely in the tank for the Marvel Cinematic Universe. I’ve seen every film in theaters, I own a vast
Random Ramblings
There’s been a lot going on lately, and I haven’t truly been able to set aside the time to talk about it. But, since I have a few moments of peace and quiet, I think I’m gonna do just that.

2016 hasn’t been the best year for musicians or entertainers. David Bowie, Glenn Frey, Alan Rickman, and Abe Vigoda are just a few of the highlights of the bloody swath the Grim Reaper has carved through this year. But, no
The Fandom Awakens
I have a confession to make: I’ve never really been a Star Wars fan. Oh, don’t get me wrong; I appreciate the story and the characters created therein, but as a whole…nah. I was always more of a Star Trek
Robin Williams, Depression, and the Measurement of Grief
While I was at work tonight, one of my co-workers asked me if I had heard that Robin Williams had died. Slackjawed, I replied in the negative, then I looked at the TV. I had the common sense to have
