I am going to miss this show. I used to watch it when it first came out when I lived in Toronto. At that time, it just felt too weird watching a man who had similar behaviours that one of my colleagues had. Granted, Mr. Monk’s were more exaggerated but I remember how this particular colleague got on the nerves of many of my peers. He was sweet….no, not Mr. Monk, but my colleague but like Mr. Monk he bordered on annoying, brilliant and absolutely frustrating.
So a month ago I started binging on Mr. Monk’s 8 seasons on Netflix. I laughed, cried, connected and warmed up to this guy in so many ways. Last night was my last episode and I am saddened to have had to say goodbye yet, knew it was time. There are just so many more you can add to his situation of chasing the murderer of his wife, Trudy.
I loved that guy and everyone associated with him. It is a great show on detective work and mostly on tolerance and true friendship.
So tonight, I decided to write a blurb to say Goodbye, Mr. Monk, you will be missed.

Such a great show on so many levels! Time to read more since I have less shows to binge on [chuckles] Maybe it’s a sign I need to look over my poems to start sorting them out to publish a few.
