My 14-year-old daughter is pretty tough, emotionally. It takes a lot for her to get emotional enough to cry. The death of Carrie Fisher was the closest I’d seen her to crying in a long time.
Looked up the biography of William Christopher yesterday.He had an autistic son, and wrote a book about his experiences.I never knew that, and I plan on trying to find it and read it.Alan Alda said that he was the same in real life as his character.Godspeed, Father Mulcahy!
yes, 2016 was rough but i really anticipate 2017 being a lot worse. personally might be ok — but with trump as president, i anticipate the news sounding like bizzaro world and him and the gop destroying this country and globe.
Carrie Fisher was my 1st movie crush – her death is still hitting me pretty hard. When I saw the MSN slide about Debbie Reynolds, I swore out loud in shock.
I was 10 when Princess Leia became a heroine to me. You could keep wonder woman and charlies angels. Give me a badass princess who could blast her away the enemies. She had to inspire others like Lara Croft. Carrie was the first.

I hear ya, Opus. I hear ya.

Since it’s now January, perhaps we could remove the words Brand, New, and Year from Opus’ dialogue and see what’s left.

Yes, I’m that immature.

Good thing this is a family web site; or someone would react in an unreconstructed manner to “spanking”.

sorry opus. 2016 decided to take Father Mulcahy along as well, right at the very last minute.

Be careful out there, you Baby Boomers! You aren’t getting any younger in 2017 either.

Did Opus have a role in ‘South Pacific’?

It will be a good year if Berkeley keeps up the thread of Sam and Zulu!

What makes you believe that the new year is going to be any better than the last year.
The way i see it, all hell is about to break lose.

January 20 will be it Opus. That will make it brand spanking new. Not in a good way.

To avoid dispair, I’d suggest focusing on smaller units of time … say, weeks, maybe. Until then, Long live Princess Bunhead!

Alas, Abby’s character did not make it to the New Year.
But Abby and Opus can help Sith Lord Sexypants stay with the Force for young Sam the Lion.
That is our goal.

That bit about Father Mulcahy hits hard – I thought the Carrie Fisher/Debbie Reynolds 2 for 1 was 2016’s last gasp.
On the other hand, 2017 might just start off with Charles Manson kicking the bucket. A year where all the bad guys die off would be great!
