Cancelled

Status: cancelled

Every show gets cancelled eventually. This one got cancelled before it opened.

Ten days before I turned 75, I wrote a post called “75 Years Old Minus 10 Days, WTF.” In it I said that living is like watching a really good TV series, waiting for every new episode…

“…and then discovering that it’s been canceled--in the middle of the season! Nothing gets resolved. There’s no closure.”70 Years Old WTF, December 2017

I also wrote this, which is still true:

“Sometimes I feel like a 35-year-old trapped in a 75-year-old body. There’s so much life ahead of me and so much that I want to learn and to do. And write.”

No tickets were sold, so no refunds were needed.

The good thing about a cancelled show is that sometimes it gets picked up again. Ten years later, this one did.
