We’re up to Dumpster #11 for Nellie’s house. One of the workers has just been hauling everything daily, even as the others are rotated in and out in shifts...as of today, between pulling things out, he’s just staggering through the rain, looking done in. Which isn’t a surprise, since it’s looking like she had more stuff in there than could possibly fit, and the workers are still not done.

Mike Hopkins has passed away, at the age of 53, due to drowning after falling out of a raft while on a river. May he rest in peace. He won an Academy Award for his work on Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. He worked on Return To Oz, Blade Runner, Heavenly Creatures, Time Bandits, the 2005 remake of King Kong, Peter Jackson’s Dead Alive (AKA Braindead) and The Frighteners, and much more.

Peter David suffered a stroke while on vacation. There is an update on his current condition here. Best wishes to him for a speedy recovery.
