Terry Funk, Bray Wyatt, Jimmy Buffett, The Last Voyage of the Demeter & Colbie's Southern Kissed Chicken

During this Labor Day weekend, I have to discuss some deaths but at the end will be some more positivity. Sadly, last night I heard that someone from my old hometown-who happened to be in my high school class and I chatted with before-passed away; that was a shock.

As for pro wrestling, there have been quite a few old personalities who have passed away in recent times. However, Bray Wyatt was a stunner; he was only 36. What little I saw of him I just never got his persona and his Fiend character was something I loathed. That said, he had several young children so it was still awful. Terry Funk, he is beloved in wrestling and many say he was their all-time favorite. I got to see him AND briefly chat with him in 2003. I still lived in Illinois at the time but was in Florida on vacation. I attended an MLW show in Orlando where he wrestled another legend, Abdullah the Butcher. I bought a shirt and took a picture with him; I need to find the latter as I want to post that on social media. Him passing away in his late 70's wasn't an eye-opener as he had been ill for awhile. Jimmy Buffett, that did surprise as who knew he was sick? I only know some songs but he knew how to make money via branding and I do like his Margaritaville restaurants.

Speaking of restaurants, a new one was tried last weekend. In the Northeast they have a few places known as Colbie's Southern Kissed Chicken; one in Kissimmee was opened a little while ago yet it's in an inconvenient spot for me so that explains the delay. It is rated as less than 4 out of 5 on Google and I would have preferred the music in there not to be so loud. That said, I'm not sure why the rating isn't that high as the food actually was pretty tasty.

The one film I saw theatrically was The Last Voyage of the Demeter. The film definitely had some flaws & did not need to be a hair under 2 hours long. That said, it had a nice atmosphere, was Gothic at times & there were some decent scares. September, I'll go to a few theatrical movies; otherwise there isn't much on my agenda... yet.
