Indeed.

Has anybody ordered The Physics of Dark Shadows? It sounds interesting.

Yeah. The period in this sentence should be outside the parentheses.

Caretaker’s Cottage – When first seen, it was inhabited by Matthew Morgan (the estate handyman who murdered Bill Malloy.)

It seems to me that Barnabas doesn't know quite what to do. Above all, he does not want to be discovered as Maggie's kidnapper. To kill Maggie on the spot would perhaps jeopardize his secret when Sam came along.

Lorraine, that was a very touching, sentimental tribute. I'd like to thank you for posting the links (one editoriaol I didn't even know about), and the photos and your remembrance of the kid. She really was a great spirit.
Yesterday was the first day that I was able to finally let go and have a good cry. It was a long one. I cried myself to sleep even.
I would like to thank you all for your support and warm wishes. I'm saddened too that Niki wasn't a part of this board. I used to tell her about some of the topics and she would have insightful comments that would have been appreciated here. Unfortunately, it was not to be.
Gotta focus now on finding a job, a place to live, and keeping Niki happily in my thoughts.

Is it okay for me to post the link to them?

Yes. You can go ahead and post them. There are a number of people who are interrested in reading the Willie stories. Thank you.

Christina has posted the Gina Lee series. For those of you not familiar with the KarlenZine stories, Gina Lee was a girl that loved Willie, her kids loved Willie, Gina Lee knew of Willies perils with Barnabas. Niki and Christina worked on these stories with heart and soul, Mary too to create a series of beloved tales about Willie.

I'm looking forward to reading Niki's stories.

Thank you, one and all. It's a sad time of year to lose your beloved. Man... I'm going to miss her. I have been fortunate to have connected with friends old and new the past few days. Support.
Niki told me a story about her not letting Dan Curtis into some function or other because she didn't know who he was. I laughed and told her that she needed to relate that story on the Forum. Unfortunately, she never got around to it.
I miss her. She requested that donations be made to the ASPCA. She loved animals. A few weeks ago, while on one of her pet-sitting stints, I got to know some horses in Aiken. One horse in particular took a fancy to me. He was worth 500,000 bucks. I had no clue. Niki knew, though. She laughed and was amused that the horse took a liking to me. That was her way.
Please say a prayer for Niki. Keep her in your hearts. She was the best friend I ever had.

Last week I lost the love of my life. Her name was Nina, but she was known to most as Niki. She was John Karlen's biggest fan. She had a memorial cement plaque made with JK's service in Korea installed at the college where she worked - Aiken Technical College in South Carolina. John thought the world of Niki. The last Fest we attended, Niki had found a Broadway playbill type thing that JK had starred in. He signed it for her and thought it was the greatest thing in the world that she had come across this thing. We talked to JK often. He was always interrested in what we were cooking on the grill, steaks, veggies, you name it. He really adored my Niki.
There are no words to describe how heartbroken I am. I miss her so much. She was a published author, wrote a book about the Graniteville train wreck. She was a reporter at heart and ran down the street from our home to photograph the disaster, with no thought of her own safety. The picture was published through the API - worldwide. She was interviewed by several corps across the country. Niki had a heart of gold. She often cooked big Sunday dinners and brought them to people in our community less fortunate than ourselves. She made my life so wonderful, never a thought of herself. She brought me much happiness and joy throughout our daily lives. I'm going to miss her. My life is so empty without her. She made me so wicked happy every single waking day. I am so lost and lonely. Anyway, say a prayer for her. She loved Dark Shadows, and adored Willie. She loved Old Man Frid too. Christina Pilz is going to post some of Niki's stories on her website. I will forward the web address when I am settled. I have come back to New England to be with my family. Anyone that wants to send me a hug may do so. I need it bad.
Bless you all. Niki loved you and so do I.

Pee Wee Herman still spooks me. The creep.
I WILL be carrying my Barnabas cane tomorrow, not only because of the nagging arthritis in my knees, but for Halloweeny.

Must be pick on Joe Haskell month.
My better half and I had a lengthy discussion on whether or not Joe and Carolyn...well...did it. I said yes, she said no. When it comes right down to it, I think Dan Curtis needed the character of Joe Haskell, a young fisherman, a hard-working type to be Carolyn's beau. OK. Let's get a cannery working stiff, in love with the boss's daughter.. and so on, and so forth.
I like Joe. I always have. He reminds me of all the "nice" boys from my youth. A hard-working stiff. Good to look at, and faithful like a dog. I love Joel's portrayal of Nathan - I think he did a wonderful job with the character - pants and all...
I just like Joe. And please let me know if you all think that Joe and Carolyn were or were not intimate.
Nevermind Maggie. There's a general consensous in my household that Maggie is a slut.

Calibrated for viewing? Unknown. Videos look good. All other DVDs look good. So I don't know. I just wondered. I have an older set, but with DirecTV, everything looks great. Everything but the DS DVDs, I tell ya!
