The cliffhanger

It is the day of our national holiday today. Well that’s nothing new, that is not at all a cliffhanger. Indeed. I remember back in the days I was playing in a soap series, the cliffhangers, they were quite something. Never watched soap series, unless to see my own skills, a long time ago. But […]
