Time waits for no one

Yesterday was a brutal news day: Harold Ramis, Norman Yates and a local fancy stationery shop, Notables, all gone or going. Harold Ramis has influenced taste in comedy and views about TV since SCTV. I see Norman Yates’s grand painting on campus every day. So many of my ideas and so many gifts I’ve given were put into notebooks and gift packages from Notables.

Many moons ago, I did a massive cover feature on Norman Yates for the Edmonton Bullet. I’ll try to post that in the next couple of days.
