Noooooooo! Kenneth was a real gentleman and had so much time for the fans. He always was so engaged and answered every question at comicons! Here he is with my son about 8 years ago. Legend!

I'm back! 1st run in 45 days! Injury, crazy work hrs but mostly my mental health hasn't been great & 0 motivation. Hardest part was getting out the door. Wasn't pretty but not the slowest either. Comeback has to start somewhere so for the 1st time in 45 days I'M STILL SMILING 😁

I had one of the nicest celeb encounters ever yesterday with BenMiller. I accosted him getting off the Eurostar & he was absolutely AMAZING! I told him my nieces & nephew loved his books so he did a warm engaging video for them! It made their day! Genuine gentleman!

Thanks! It's still not easy. Getting the right meds and dealing with the past takes time. But even with that it's been positive

Looking forward to getting it. I'll have to find a time to come home and get you to sign it!

Either -
- Spies have gotten sloppy
- it's a massive double bluff of reverse psychology
- Someone has come up with a smart way of stopping people trying to hack their network

I was diagnosed at 47. It made so much in my past make sense & getting help with medication and coping tools just made life easier. I really wish I had known this 30 yrs ago. Funny thing is...none of my family/friends were surprised. Most usual response was "We thought you knew"!

Ah no not Iceman....In Heat he was just brilliant.... Loved him as Madmartigan in Willow... And of course his Batman was underrated... Guess I'm watching Batman Forever tonight!

This man is happy with his run! Not b/c of distance, time or speed...but b/c I got off my ass to do it. Lots of early mornings, late nights & 4 events this week (& out for another work event tonight) meant I haven't trained & I am wrecked. But I did it & I'M STILL SMILING 😁!
