The Writers Guild of America Awards winners were announced a couple of nights in a virtual ceremony online. In case you missed it, here’s the skinny.
Oh, and yes, there are one Acme Ton of Winners and Nominees. Because we know how to take care of our own.
THE USUAL NOTE FROM LB: From the summer of 2002 to the spring of 2010, Gwen the Beautiful and I were the proud and often exhausted owners of a beautiful Ozarks property we called Cloud Creek Ranch.
In many ways, the ranch was paradise. But it was a paradise with a price that started going up before we even knew it existed. Here’s another Monday musing about our adventure and the lessons we learned.
NEW NOTE FROM LB
Gwen the Beautiful and I are devastated by the passing last week of our sweet sister Wanda, the Angel of Arkansas (and I’m sure, of the entire rest of the world as well. Wanda’s kindness, vivacity, loyalty, patience, humor, and love were like elemental forces, sweeping over all of us lucky enough to be in her path.
I’ve written about Wanda in “Live! From Paradise!” several times. This usually is the space where I post – sequentially – the articles originally published in my early 2000s newspaper column. That sequence will return next week. Today, however, is dedicated to the woman so many knew as Aunt Wanda.
Howard Hesseman, the actor who portrayed a man experiencing a rebirth on WKRP in Cincinnati, passed away on January 29th at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
His third wife, Caroline DuCroc, was at his side when he died of complications from colon cancer. The actor had no biological children, but he did have three god-children, Hamish, Grace and Chet. Hamish and Grace were also present at his passing.
Just saw this on one of my favorite blogs. Hmm. Profundity or an example of the importance of context in creative work?
