Newspace: SpaceX, Scooby-Doo, and More!

In nerd entertainment news, the year 2020 will not only give us the next Halloween to fall on a Saturday with a full moon1, it will see a new, animated Scooby-Doo movie, with some notable names doing voices. Mystery, Inc. will join forces with other Hanna-Barbera characters to stop…. Dick Dastardly?

Well, this could be interesting.

    • About halfway between Detroit and Toronto.

      The guest room and the living room couch are already booked, but you have twenty months to prepare, and there are many places to stay in town, including a hotel that’s less than a half-hour walk from our house.

      And if someone cancels, you’ll be the first person I contact about the spot. Rates at our house are favorable, ie free.
