John Mac & Ruthanne Kah are two good friends of mine. They are very generous people who have helped many other artists in the community through their Saints of Paint organization. Their studio was destroyed during Helene. Please help them out if you're in a position to do so.

Rugged mountain woman shows what life in Marshall, NC is really like after the flooding from Helene. Take it from me, she is so very WNC. And this is a very real disaster like I've never seen before.

Can't seem to think about anything but the disaster in my other home state, NC, and all my friends there. Most of them have checked in, but I still haven't heard from two elderly friends who live in Swannanoa where much of the flooding happened.

Apparently, my former home of Asheville NC got hit by severe flooding due to Helene. It might seem counterintuitive that a mountainous area would be prone to flooding, but Asheville very much is. It's in a valley and all the runoff from the mountains races into it. Helene is like Ivan and Frances in 2004 all over again. Best wishes to all my friends who live there.

My favorite film of hers is The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie. It was the film that really established her internationally, and it's almost like she's playing a young Professor McGonagall. 😢

Maggie Smith, famed for Harry Potter and 'Downton Abbey,' dies at 89

Smith's publicist announced the news Friday. She was frequently rated the preeminent British female performer of a generation that included Vanessa Redgrave and Judi Dench. “Jean Brodie” brought her the Academy Award for best actress in 1969.

There! It's settled. As I've been saying for years, The Epic of Gilgamesh is a gay romance story. The Metatron has spoken.
