On March 4, 1994 we lost John Candy. It was way too soon and I am still not completely over it. Still, I have been able to watch his movies, repeatedly, because he is one of my main sources of comfort.
When I was young, my mom would rent “The Great Outdoors” VHS repeatedly. So much so that after a 20-something years gap, I still remembered the lines.

Where to watch? AmazonPrime.
Talk to you tomorrow,
