❀️🐾 We said goodbye to our Benny today. He was our mountain climbing schnauzer who accompanied us on many a hike. We had him the longest of all of our dogs. He was smart, loving, and an excellent dog brother. Benny, enjoy chasing all of the ice cubes sliding across the floor in heaven!

Opinion | The Raw Power of Repentance β€œThe Bear” asks the question, how do we live together when someone always seems to be going too far?

β€œThat’s what β€˜The Bear’ is really about: How do we live together when someone always seems to be going too far? The answer we ultimately get is that we can’t. We can’t sustain a community when the pain grows too great,” our columnist David French writes.

Jim Shooter, who passed away yesterday at age 73, wrote this interaction between Reed Richards and Iron Man (James β€œRhodey” Rhodes filling in for Tony Stark) in Secret Wars #8 back in 1984. It always stuck with me.

I’m a little late to the party. It took me 25 years, but I finally got around to reading Michael Chabon’s β€œThe Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.” This book is brilliant.

Kenner Star Wars Death Star Space Station playset

Kenner Star Wars Death Star Space Station playset

The was the hot toy in 1978! Although the action figures of Han and Luke in stormtrooper armor are fiction. I remember really wishing Kenner made figures like those. They eventually did make them, but not until long after my action figure collecting days were over.

We did the Champlain Area Trails Grand Hike today. The full hike is about 16 miles, but if you take advantage of a few shortcuts (which we did) the route is cut to a still-respectable 8.62 miles. The rain stopped just in time for the hike to begin. The temperature was perfect. Best of allβ€”no bugs!

If you told me I’d one day I’d be singing Led Zeppelin on stage at the Egg Performing Arts Center, I never would’ve believed it. Can’t wait to get started on our next Rock Voices season β€” all one-hit wonders!

I would so love if Sadie Sink it’s paying Firestar in β€œSpider-Man: Brand New Day.” I know it won’t happen. But it would be so fun to get live action Spider-Friends!

Perhaps the version of the #FantasticFour that will appear on movie screens this summer originates in the β€œTimely Cinematic Universe” before moving to the #MCU
