Farewell to the actor John Woodbine who died today. He was ubiquitous in the film and TV of my childhood appearing in everything from Z Cars, Dr Who and the films The Devils and An American Werewolf in London.

D*mn, I missed the memo that female creatives have to be pure-as-the-driven-snow. Guess I'll go download some AI novels and lock myself in a convent.

Last week, I had to a visit a medical specialist whose office happened to be in the Vascular and Heart Hospital at U.F. I stopped by the coffee shop in the lobby and saw that they served fresh half-and-half. For some reason, I found this hilarious.

So, I’ve heard mumblings about the rapture coming soon. Perhaps you should read The Monsters Among Us to prepare for it? After all, it’s about the rapture…

Robert Redford was a lot of things. A talented actor. An Oscar-winning director. An environmentalist. A philanthropist. A supporter of the arts. A real social justice warrior. A genuinely good dude.

You could rest now, Mr. Redford. You led a good life & remembered for the good you did in this world
