95. The Holidays are fast approaching...

Sat Nov 22, 2025, 07:18 PM

Saturday

It's almost time to dig out my "Die Hard" advent calendar...

https://youtube.com/shorts/vkd0YADZYrY

"Die Hard" is my holiday cult favorite film...

Thank you, John McClane (Bruce Willis) for many, many awesome holiday memories...

Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber), you are sorely missed...

Happy trails, y'all...
