Went looking for info on “A Bridge Too Far;” I somehow arrived at info for “Bridgerton,” and those are two very different viewing experiences.

“March Midnight Window” appears in cc&d magazine.
I’m honored to see my poem “March Midnight Window” appear in the March 2025 issue of cc&d magazine, released tonight from Scars Publications. The theme of the March issue is “The World Engine.”
You can read the entire magazine online right here, if you would like. Or, if you want to find my poem right away, it’s right here. If you would like to receive your own print copy of the magazine, you can order it here from Amazon.
Thank you, Editor Janet Kuypers, for allowing me to see my work showcased for the first time in the pages of cc&d magazine!
Rest easy, Gene Hackman.
I probably saw Gene Hackman for the first time in his hilarious turn as Lex Luthor in 1978’s “Superman.” (Yes, I do realize that I am past the point of self-parody with my preoccupation with comics.) Then again, 1972’s “The Poseidon Adventure” got plenty of television airtime later in the decade … so I might have seen him there first; I’m not sure. (This was a very long time ago, people.)
Later in life, it was films like “The Firm” (1993), “Wyatt Earp” (1995) and “Crimson Tide” (1996) that made me truly appreciate Hackman’s talent.
I would rather not comment on the questions surrounding his death; I don’t think my uninformed speculation adds to that conversation. Suffice to say here that he was a truly superb actor.
