… but when I do it’s a good one.

Go Fund Her
You don’t know Larry Blamire’s The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra?? You will… oh, YOU WILL!
I am very cautious when supporting GoFundMe campaigns. You’re giving money to someone outright, with no strings attached. When Larry Blamire announced this campaign on behalf of Jennifer “Animala” Blaire, my only hesitation in making a donation was the time it took to recover from reading the story behind her troubles.

Now Where Was I?
How do I sign onto this site? Oh, right. There we go.
The situation that required me to put everything on hold is mostly better. I won’t know for certain until December, but for now I’m comfortable thinking about other things.
I haven’t done a “Guess the Girl” post in many years. Here’s a good one. This photo was taken in 1972. I was in high school, but this girl dropped out that year. Don’t recognize her? Click the pic to see her mom. Know her now?
Treking Another Direction
The Star Trek Tour in Ticonderoga, NY, is the gold standard in the accurate, faithfully detailed reproduction of the sets as seen in the original series. To get official approval from CBS to operate as a tourist attraction, James Cawley agreed to stop creating new episodes. Other Trek TOS devotees have their own fan fiction videos.
Tripping With Doctor Who
In this clip from The Late Late Show on CBS, pre-James Corden host Craig Ferguson tributes the time-tripping Doctor Who, with an appearance by the 11th Doctor, Matt Smith.
To Ferguson’s delight, Smith’s Doctor regenerated into his old pal, Peter Capaldi as the 12th Doctor. Here they are talking about dropping acid. Which I assure you I never did, or ever had any interest in doing.
Ferguson is about to go on a short tour, and one of his stops will be at the gates of Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts.

My old Western Mass newspaper cohort and friend Mike Dobbs spoke with Ferguson by phone a couple of days ago.

Picking up on my Cuckoo Month post from a few days ago, you can add Doctor Who to the list. The series premiered on November 23, 1963.
