Paying Respects on Father’s Day
Today being Father’s Day we went to the cemetery to visit my dad and grandparents. My dad has been gone for almost 5 years, my grandmother has been gone for almost 10 years. My grandfather has been gone since October 2023. I miss my dad and grandparents very much. They are always in my heart and on my mind.
Happy Father’s Day Gary, Leon, and Jay Beecher
This is the first Father’s Day without my grandfather. My dad passed away in 2019. Life without them is strange and celebrating Father’s Day is a little painful. I celebrate their love for me and for being my heroes in my life forever. To Gary Burgess and Leon Webb, I say Happy Father’s Day. I miss you both.
This is me as a wee lad with my father’s father Jay Beecher Burgess. He passed away in 1985. I have been without him for a long time. I miss him.

Summer Cut Friday
It’s Friday and time for a Summer cut. It’s the shortest I’ve ever had my hair and I like it. This will be much cooler in the hot days ahead.
Brats – The Story Of The “Brat Pack”
In the 1980s, a group of young actors collectively known as the “Brat Pack” starred in movies about the lives of young adults of the era. Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, and Mare Winningham were icons of my generation.
Andrew McCarthy made a documentary film that is streaming on Hulu about the “Brat Pack” called “Brats” where he did interviews with some members of the group and others who were adjacent and could speak to the events of the day. McCarthy does a great job of connecting the dots culturally and historically of this special era in the movies.
If you are a member of Generation X then you must see this movie. It will give you feels and remind you of a great time in entertainment and history. Andrew McCarthy did a great job on this. I also recommend it to anyone interested in cultural pop history.
