My incredibly brief and spoiler-free review of “Avengers: Endgame”

Joey deVilla and Anitra Pavka pose with the 'Avengers: Endgame' poster.

My 14-year old self is so happy to see all these comic book stories come together on the big screen, and even happier to see it with Anitra, my geek dream date.

Oh, wow. This movie pulled down the pants of my mind. It’s been an age since I’ve thought “I would like to see that again — right now.

Florida of the day: “Florida man arrested outside Olive Garden after eating pasta belligerently”

If you’re going to do the “Florida Man” thing in a town that’s Italian in name only — Naples, Florida — you might as well do it in a restaurant that’s also Italian in name only: The Olive Garden. And remember: Any fool can eat a sausage or an oyster suggestively; it takes the creative genius of Florida Man to eat spaghetti belligerently.

Here the story from a local news channel, and here’s the Miami Herald’s coverage.

For National Siblings Day, here’s my sister, Dr. Eileen deVilla, Medical Officer of Health for the City of Toronto!

I didn’t want National Siblings Day to pass without posting this video of a TEDx talk by my sister, Dr. Eileen deVilla, who oversees Toronto Public Health, which is Canada’s largest public health agency and provides public health services to nearly 3 million people. It’s a big job, but Eileen’s more than up to the task.

In honor of National Siblings Day, and for those of you who haven’t met Eileen, check out her talk, in which she discusses the defining health crisis of our time: substance abuse and our archaic attitudes about it.

Happy Siblings Day, Sis!
