In a year that has been filled with immeasurable loss, it is with heavy heart that I pen this Love Letter to Clark Middleton. He played Charlie in Twin Peaks Season 3 on Showtime and passed on Sunday, October 4 at age 63 after contracting West Nile Virus. Appearing in four episodes, Clark’s character Charlie left a…
This year has been a surreal one to say the least. It’s become very clear to me that it’s important to celebrate the loved ones in our lives. It’s with a heavy heart that I write this Love Letter to Galyn Görg, who died at the age of 55 on July 14, 2020 (her birthday…
When I say “THOSE” Season 2 episodes of Twin Peaks, you know immediately what I’m referencing. Once episode 2.009 effectively closed the Laura Palmer story, the writers focused on other happenings (and mysteries) in this small Pacific Northwest town. Episodes 2.010-2.015 included a number of storylines – Ben Horne’s mental struggle, Dick Tremayne’s attempts at…

During my recent visit to Washington state in January, I discovered another small piece of Twin Peaks…
I returned from visiting two Twin Peaks film locations during my first day in Seattle when I heard the news – Robert Forster passed at the age of 78. I grew up with Forster, who stared in numerous films and, more recently, played Sheriff Frank Truman (Harry Truman’s older brother) in Twin Peaks: The Return on Showtime….
Music has always played an important part of my Twin Peaks obsession as the original soundtrack album was my gateway to the show in 1993.

After finishing dinner last night, I retired to my bedroom to get caught up on happenings of the day via Twitter.
