HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARRY ARMSTRONG!
Kind of a sucky day for your celebration. Even though I bought your present before I went into the hospital, I don’t feel like I’m doing enough, saying enough to tell you what you mean to me, which is everything…. Read More ›
REMEMBERING GOLDEN BOY
This is a juxtaposition of a montage equal to pure cinema. What? It’s a line from my professor in a college film appreciation course a thousand years ago. I’m able to write about two subjects today because Marilyn is blogging… Read More ›
