Marcia Wallace best known as Edna Krabappel, not Crandall, on “The Simpsons” has passed away. This is sad news not just for her friends and family but fans of television in general. She was great on “The Bob Newhart Show” and many more sitcoms after that. She is featured prominently on my favorite episode of “The Simpsons”, “Bart the Lover”.

She was also in one of my favorite episodes of “Taxi”, playing herself on a date with Reverend Jim, pictures below.

She will be missed.

#ThrowbackThursday Halloween Circa 1992

This is from a Halloween in El Paso, TX. I was in the 1st grade so it’s probably 1992, maybe 91. From left to right, my cousin Guille (pronounced Gi-yeh) is Cruella de Vil, my sister Laura is the Karate Kid, my brother Oscar is Spidey, my cousin Ramon is a lawyer/business man? (he was a weird kid), and I of course was & currently am Batman (even then I was better than Affleck). We’re all at the Sunland Park Mall, trick or treating at all the stores. I don’t remember much else except the jewelry store that handed out “I Am Loved” buttons instead of candy. Joiks.
