Crunch Time. I’m Tired. Are You Tired?
Happy Father’s Day. My dad’s been gone 21 years, and it still hurts like yesterday. I only hope I’m not too much of a disappointment, but man I suck at this adulting thing. Syracuse Friday. Excited and scared, and in a frenzy to get more pieces done. So here’s to hoping we come back with…

Two Week Countdown
Those who know me, know I get super tweaky before a Con. You’d think being into my 3rd year of doing them, I’d chill a little, but I never do. Not that I don’t enjoy them. I do, completely. But at heart I’m one of those “what can go wrong, will go wrong” people, and…

Chopped (Famous Last Words)
I am in a silly state of mind. My life is getting weird. A dear friend said it’s coming full circle. Both are correct; without too much detail, some huge chunks of my past have risen up, and while once upon a time that would have scared me, now it feels like good things will…

A Mini-Rant
I am calling down the doom of regular TV. Oh, yeah. A lot of people have done that already, haven’t they? A lot of it comes from hatred of the cable industry, or dish, or the networks in general. Combine that hatred with the ease of streaming, and it looks pretty darn likely. Cost is…

My Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is painful for a lot of people. Mostly, for those who no longer have their mom with them, and I can respect that (for me, I miss my dad, so Father’s Day is similar). Mother’s Day is painful for me, I guess, because I only wish I’d had that kind of a relationship.…

This Weekend
Saratoga Comic Con…a twice-a-year favorite. http://www.saratogacomiccon.com/——-.html I won’t be there in person Sunday, so if you want something signed, come Saturday. Or, of course, hunt me down outside a Con. I’m really not all that difficult to find. But there are some cool guests this time around, from Clerks. The Montreal X-Men (all of whom…

Texas Part Deux
Hah, numbers in French sound so pompous. On to the Riverwalk segment. It was nothing like I pictured it; I envisioned it as something more like a boardwalk, a la Atlantic City, but really, it was better. Part of it is the Rio, part of it is a man-made tributary, but the barge ride is…

Oops
Wow, I’m so neglectful lately. It’s that whole playing catch-up thing. Anyway, happy Easter. I don’t really celebrate. Even when my family was alive, it wasn’t one of our bigger to-dos. But spring and rebirth are absolutely good things. I will do Texas part 2 later in the week. For now, some cutenesses. Apparently, since…

Texas Joy Part 1
This trip was so crazy awesome I’m going to cover it in 2 parts. Tonight, the Alamo, and the Menger. First, gotta say, I had an entirely wrong image of Texas. Color me judgmental, but you go by what you hear, right? I thought it would all be ten-gallon hats and cowboy boots and gun-totin’…

This Weekend
Will make the first ever appearance at the Green Mountain Comic Expo! This entails a trip to Barre, VT, and a hotel stay. It comes on the heels of a fabulous vacation in San Antonio (that I will recap in a future blog). It’s an adventure! I know the Saratoga Con folks will be there,…
