    Mayo, Schmayo!

    ‘ Because yesterday was quite possibly one of the worst days in my entire life, I was not able to write a post for today.  I had such high hopes for the Mayo Clinic finding a cure for my dad’”‘”‘s illness, but sadly it has become blindingly apparent that the facility is completely incompetent and inept.  In…

    Studio Gate 3 from the “Feud” “Hollywood Drive” Promo

    ‘ It will probably come as a shock to most readers that I don’t know a lot about Old Hollywood.  Sure, I am well-versed in all things Marilyn Monroe and have stalked my fair share of noir locations, but on the whole, I’d say I’m pretty lacking in knowledge about the Tinseltown of yesteryear.  I…
