Quantum Peeps
Friday, December 7th, 2012
I always enjoy a good time travel caper and thusly often enjoyed the TV series Quantum Leap, which ran for five seasons from 1989-1993. I had previously met Dean Stockwell who played the role of Rear Admiral Al Calavicci (as seen here). At the time, I didn’t think that there was ever any realistic hope of meeting his co-star Scott Bakula, so I opted to just have him sign a head shot as opposed to a photo from Quantum Leap.

Because of the potential for horrid weather coming our way from Hurricane Sandy on the scheduled Trick or Treat date of Tuesday, October 30, 2012, it was postponed until Saturday, November 3 – effectively moving Halloween – or at least everything I associate with it – to November. In addition, as you’ll read, I attended a reunion of the film franchise Halloween, also oddly placed into November. In any case, it was a nice way to spend the weeks that fell between the real Halloween and the next of the ‘Big Three’ holidays, Thanksgiving. 
Jamie Lee Curtis really doesn’t need an introduction, but in case you’ve been living in a shoebox for the past 30 years, I’ll remind you that she has been known as the quintessential ‘scream queen’ of horror films ever since her appearance in the original Halloween film in 1978. She went on to more roles as the stalkee of some maniac or other in Terror Train, Prom Night, The Fog, and three additional Halloween films. Soon enough she would settle into more traditional roles in films like Trading Places, My Girl, True Lies, A Fish Called Wanda, and the new version of Freaky Friday.
