Seems like things are just...different now. Starting with the shocking murder of YouTube star and "The Voice" finalist Christina Grimmie, this weekend has changed my view of the world and my place in it. Ms. Grimmie's death was followed by the slaughter of 50 people by someone who was either told by his religion, or more specifically, told by certain people who have perverted his religion, that gay people needed to die.
The world became a bit scarier this weekend. Not a fan of that. My thoughts and prayers go to Christina Grimmie and her family and to the victims of the nightclub shooting and their families.
I did my best to push some light and fun into our world this weekend. Not sure I was entirely successful. I hope I was, just a little bit.
As promised, here's the link to the only official Go Fund Me page for Christina Grimmie's family.

To be honest, I realize that I mis-identified who started the Go Fund Me campaign. I said in the episode it was Selena Gomez's stepfather. Well, that IS true. But his name is not Laura Worley. His name is actually Brian Teefey. Sorry about that Brian. Thank you for doing what you've done for Christina's family. Over $100,000 as I type this.
There is also a Go Fund Me set up to help the victims of the Pulse Club shooting, and their families.

Over a million dollars raised there.
Way to go, people, to make sure the terrorists don't win.
Please keep in touch.
