I was so into “The Stand” after reading it that I wrote a “trivia quiz” based on factoids from the book and sent Stephen King a copy. He sent a letter back saying thanks and that even HE didn’t know all the answers! Part of my obsession with it was the fact that Mother Abigail’s imaginary home in Nebraska was near where I grew up and I was living not far from Boulder CO at the time and drove around finding all the landmark places like the Sunrise Ampitheater, Chataqua Park, and others.

I remember watching the version with Gary Sinise, who does a great job in any role. That’s probably the best anyone will ever do, this new remake will most certainly not be on my must-see list!

Pray for those caught in the California fires. FReepersup may be one of them.
