The lovely Joan Lee, Stan’s wife for over 60 years, died recently and this morning Marifran learned that Leroy A. Martin, with whom we used to double date in teen years, has not been with us for a while now. Teen years and innocent years fraught with nostalgia and maybe apt to prompt somber thought.

Lee Martin's The Midnight Hour Lee Martin's The Midnight Hour, which is filmed in Michigan, hits a parallel into the bad economy facing the residents of Michigan in an all new shocking episode entitled "Witch's Candle". Premiering Thursday June 2, Witch's Candle (which can be seen below, after the jump in a sneak peek clip) follows Jim (Didrik Davis), a light industrial manager demoted to a part-time shop position by his scheming, underachieving supervisor, Bernadette (Sharyl Parsons). Determined to eliminate the competition for an elite new post before an upcoming corporate merger, Bernadette demoralizes and attempts to discredit Jim. Her plan succeeds—or does it?
After Jim’s departure, a series of grisly events take place within the shadowy halls of the sprawling shop. One of the more surprising is the Voodoo-esque spell cast by Norm (Rocco Guirlanda), a fellow shop worker who attempts to eliminate Bernadette by supernatural means before his pension is cancelled.
