Not only am I late with this edition of the Weekly Update, but it's probably incomplete, so I want to apologize if I missed anything. I've been visiting with my father for the past three days, after a medical issue earlier this week. He's home and fine, with the exception of some short term memory issues, which my brothers and I are hoping resolves in a couple of days. But he is ninety, so we're waiting to see what happens. Thankfully, he's doing well otherwise and is still active and talkative.
Anyway, I'll be adding more to the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar in the next few days, as well as the HALLOWEEN 2021 page, so I can deliver a complete Update worthy of the first day of THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR! Talk to you next week!!
Sing along, everyone!
It's the MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR!!
