All The President's Men

For probably the 5th or 6th time, I watched "All The President's Men" again this weekend.

A powerful film. The IMDB Trivia section is filled with interesting bits that I didn't know about the film.

However, while watching this time, I was more profoundly struck by so many of the parallels between the actual historical footage of Republicans denouncing that impeachment inquiry - and our current situation with the malignant tumor that sits in the White House today.

Madison Manor Boutique Hotel, Toronto ON

If you ever travel to Toronto - this boutique hotel should be on your short list of possible places to stay: Centrally located; next-door to an excellent pub; convenient access to transit resources; walking distance to many restaurants, museums, attractions, etc.

(note: I didn't stay there - discovered it during some of my traveling. I did visit the pub - and it has an excellent ambiance)

I miss Anthony Bourdain

There are many people that have passed, that I do not miss - even members of my own extended family.

There are just a few people that I miss.

I miss Robin Williams.

But, even more, I miss Anthony Bourdain.

The world is dimmer and grayer - without him in it.

Just knowing that he was on the planet at the same time - as during my time - was a comfort.
