So, for the fun of it, I am checking out Lorelai and Rory Gilmore, a mother-daughter duo from the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. Gilmore Girls is a cult classic TV show that aired from 2000-2007. The show featured a blend of humor and drama. It was the flagship show of The WB Network and finished its run on The CW.
It’s good as a dude to check out new shows outside my wheelhouse. I have checked out the pilot and the first episode. It’s a good show. I will give it a few episodes.
Tonight is the 2025 Emmy Awards from Los Angeles, California. It’s Television’s biggest night. I am watching for the star power and celebrity factor. We need a distraction from the reality of the moment. I am puling for the broadcast television nominees.
Comedian Nate Bargatze is the host, and I am looking forward to seeing his monologue and how he will bring his brand of comedy to this annual event.
I’m a member of the Episcopal Church and at church this morning we are doing an Episcopal 101 course for newcomers and longtime folks. It’s good to learn more.
I got the latest COVID vaccine today. You should get yours too. Take care of yourself and others. It’s really safe and effective.
Today we remember the events of the day of September 11, 2001. Terror was brought to New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a day that will live in the memory of people around the world forever. It was a day when people were lost, but a day when people were heroes too. Let’s be mindful of what happened and hope it will never happen again.
Thou shall not murder… The Ten Commandments
Hundreds if not thousands of people have died due to gun violence. Many of them have been students in schools of all levels of learning. Guns and gun violence have been a systemic illness in this nation for years. I mourn for Charlie Kirk’s family, but I have a hard time mourning for him due to the fact his philosophy along with other conservatives have stopped any meaningful action on gun violence. I think of myself as an empathetic and sympathetic person, but today when there was another school shooting event in Colorado, Charlie Kirk’s death has consumed the attention of many who could do something about gun violence.
Charlie Kirk will rest in peace, his death is unfortunate, but there are many who still live with the pain of family and friends who have died due to guns.
