a hero of mine died, i just found out, although i was not aware of his existence. it’s gerry thomas, the man who invented the tv dinner. i owe almost every evening meal to him. what really surprised me though is that the wonderful world of prefab food has one man responsible for it. never thought that something that basic would have a founding father. i mean, do we know who invented the wheel for example? or masturbation? the cd player? all these daily life regularities. i’m happy that for once someone is to be granted. so thank you gerry thomas.
