Wow! First commenter? I'm gob-smacked! Hey Jeremy...very good round-up of the year's bits and bobs.Hard to pick a fave because, well, there's always at least one blurb or insight in each one that makes it special. I will say that over the last few months as I've been dealing with a significant health issue, the Hole has always landed at just about the perfect time to pull me out of a hole-of-very-little-hope.
Without getting maudlin, I know I can count on you, Tommy Tomlinson, and Michael Graff to clear away the grey clouds just enough to light up more reasons for fighting on. And into 2026 I fight, happy in the knowledge that the Rabbit Hole, The Writing Shed, and the Charlotte Optimist are all doing well, and together we'll find it to be an all-around better year than whatever 2025 was.

And a FWIW from the "Blinkies" letter last week...in the summer of 1985, a scrappy little crew of filmmakers shot a "C-grade" horror flick called "The Dark Power" at a house on Belews Lake, a newly built but as-yet unlived-in home that served both as set and living quarters for the cast and crew for the week-long shoot. I dare say its value took a hit, as there was much rampaging both during and after filiming each day! It was also Lash LaRue's penultimate film apprearance. It was...oh, so bad, but that lead Toltec zombie, Wolfeye, was a bit of a stud! ;-)
