What a week.  We lost two cultural icons, the director John Singleton and the actor, Peter Mayhew.  I have to say that I was surprised and kind of touched to discover that, after starring in one of the most successful films of all time, Peter Mayhew ended up settling down in Boyd, Texas.  I’ve driven through Boyd, it’s a nice little town and, from what I’ve heard, Peter Mayhew was a nice man.

On a happier note, Happy Cinco De Mayo, everyone!  And, on a purely personal note, I feel like I’m back.  After spending last month struggling to get anything written, I feel like I have finally woken up and I’m ready to enjoy the rest of the year!  That’s the power of Avengers: Endgame, I suppose.

Have a great week everyone!  Here’s what I watched, read, and listened to this week:
