SUMMER 2025

  • NEW YEARS DAY 2026

    It looks so sad and lonely here. I’ve tried hard to get people interested in joining, but no takers.

    Things are booming at WP. I’m happy to meet so many nice people!

  • DAD, I’M HOME

    On Christmas Eve 2025, Mike Farrell Drove Back to Harry Morganโ€™s House โ€” โ€œDad, Iโ€™m Homeโ€ โค๏ธ

    December 24, 2025.
    Los Angeles. Mike Farrell is 86 years old.

    He reaches for his car keys, looks at his wife, and says quietly:

    โ€œShelley, Iโ€™m going to see Harry.โ€

    โ€œMikeโ€ฆ heโ€™s been gone 14 years,โ€ she replies gently.

    โ€œI know,โ€ he says, nodding. โ€œBut the house is still there.
    The memories are still there.
    The love is still there.โ€

    So he drives.

    Slowly. No radio playing.
    Just an elderly man moving through familiar streets, past corners where he once turned to share dinners with Harry Morgan โ€” the man he still calls his โ€œColonelโ€โ€ฆ and, in his heart, his father.

    He stops in front of the old house.

    Same walkway. Same windows. New owners now, but they recognize him โ€” every Christmas Eve, they welcome him inside to โ€œvisit an old friend.โ€

    Inside, framed photographs still hang where the family left them: Harry as Colonel Potter, Harry with his real family, Harry laughing in that unmistakable way every MAS*H fan remembers.

    Mike pauses in front of a photo from 1980 โ€” Harry in uniform, smiling like heโ€™s about to call someone โ€œson.โ€

    โ€œDad,โ€ Mike whispers, his voice unsteady, โ€œIโ€™m home.โ€

    โ€œIโ€™m 86 now. Older than you were when we met in โ€™75.
    Back then, I was scared. I was โ€˜the new guy,โ€™ stepping into shoes everyone already loved.โ€

    He wipes his eyes.

    โ€œBut you looked at me and said, โ€˜Mike, donโ€™t be afraid.
    Youโ€™re not Wayne. Youโ€™re YOU. And youโ€™re going to be just fine. I believe in you.โ€™โ€

    In the stillness of the living room, Mikeโ€™s shoulders shake.

    โ€œYou believed in me when I couldnโ€™t believe in myself,โ€ he tells the photo.
    โ€œThank you for that. Thank you for loving me like a son.โ€

    He stands there a long while โ€” no cameras, no audience, just a Christmas Eve promise kept to an old friend.

    Every year since 2011, Mike Farrell has returned to Harry Morganโ€™s house on December 24th.

    Because some bonds donโ€™t end at the graveside.
    Some fathers and sons are chosen on a soundstageโ€ฆ and last all the way to Christmas Eve 2025.
