Our condolences to Gill and anyone else who knows this lady. In Memory of Leona Knott Oct. 26 1928-Nov. 24 2018 I was getting my breakfast ready when a family friend called to inform me that someone who had been a large part of my childhood had past on. A Good Neighbor When I was …

Some Little Kid Memories Of Nikolai Volkoff
There haven’t been as many So Long posts lately as there used to be, and that’s intentional. To be quite honest, I don’t particularly enjoy writing them. Some folks, even when you appreciate whatever it was they did, just don’t inspire a whole lot of words or draw out much in the way of specific …

Goodbye To Trixie
Brad, who it can’t ever be said too many times did an amazing job of taking care of Trixie during the last 5 years of her life, has some words to say about her and what happened at the end. Some of what I’m going to write here I know Carin has already written, but …
Maybe Tomorrow, They’ll Put Him In The Ground
The Littlest Hobo theme song is a strong contender for best television related musical composition in history, and I will fight anyone who says differently. Even if you don’t remember anything about the show to which it belongs, odds are you remember the tune. And if you don’t burst into song or at least smile …

A Memorial To Trixie
I have to say the people at my work are amazing. When they heard about Trix’s passing, one of them decided to make me a little something to remember her by. Not only that, but she managed to get a ton of people to send me messages of condolence. This all came together super quickly. …
Goodbye, Trixie.
This post is going to take me a long time to write. Bear with me. Hopefully, it will actually make sense. I will try, but there is no guarantee. On Wednesday February 21, Trixie had to be put down. You’re probably all pretty shocked. Brad and I had some inklings, and a screaming warning the …
Does This Qualify As Backing Down?
I don’t know if this is weird or not, but even though Tom Petty is one of my favourite recording artists of all time and is at least partially responsible for the creation of literally dozens of songs that I will love forever, I have no idea what my favourite Tom Petty song is. Since …
So Long, Bobby “The Brain” Heenan. You Were The Best
As a tiny, wrestling watching kid, Bobby Heenan was a hard guy for me to wrap my head around. On one hand he was this terrible man who kept getting other terrible men to attack all my heroes, but as somebody who was also drawn to comedy and broadcasting from a very early age, I …

So Long, Bob Robertson
I grew up on a steady diet of Air Farce and Double Exposure, often taping the weekly episodes off the radio so I could listen to them over and over again. So news that Bob Robertson, who without a word of exaggeration may be the best impersonator I’ve ever heard, died last week, bummed me …
Holly Alonzo Has Passed Away
Way back years ago, I used to blog about someone named Holly and her struggles to get an auditory brain implant. I lost track of her, and last week, I heard that she passed away. That’s way too young to die. I remember her being one heck of a fighter. I can’t imagine having repeated …
