@seanferrick.bsky.social Don't worry... we're watching you talk to yourself. ;) Hope you're feeling better! (BTW, this is how I celebrated the week, even if my Peck somehow morphed into Claudia Winkelmann...)

In a very short time, Marcia Lucas cemented her legacy as a genius storyteller. She will be remembered as a respected philanthropist and brilliant filmmaker. Her importance to film - not just her work shaping Star Wars - will never be forgotten. (No matter how much George tries.) Farewell, Legend.

I had a hard time watching @seattletorrent.bsky.social games towards the end of the @thepwhl.com regular season. I kept thinking of the team's fantastic netminder, Corinne Schroeder, and her piano playing Peanuts namesake. So... I drew this cartoon. Cheers, Ladies, and good luck next year!
