Look What the Mailman Brought

I’ve been a fan of Tony Harris’s artwork for many years, as I’ll expound upon soon here. Never read The Whistling Skull, so I’m excited about that one. And I gave the whole New 52 a miss a few years back when it came out, because I knew things would revert to the default continuity (and they did in 2016). So I hadn’t read Scott Snyder’s Batman back then. But when I was down in FL this summer, I picked up The Court of Owls, and it was pretty good. Helps that Books-A-Million has all these for dirt cheap, in their discount graphic novel section. Not pictured is Vol 1–The Court of Owls, and Vol 2–The City of Owls (which I’ve also read.) Also missing is Vol 6–Graveyard Shift, which arrived the day after I took the picture. But I got every third book seen here for free. Of course, it’s going to take me a few years to read these, because I only have so much time…But it’s nice to have the collection of Shiny New Things.

ID Card

My nearly 15-year-old son, who is already 6’2″ (a full 2 inches taller than his old man), just returned from a 10-day trip to Seattle to visit his Aunt.

Knowing I like Doctor Who, he brought me a gift.

2018 Review and Mighty 2019 Preview

New Year’s Eve. Second blog post of the entire year of 2018. That should suggest something about what this year was like for me.

When I wrote my 2017 year-end wrap up, I finished by noting I was sick. That was a year ago, December. I had no idea how long that would last. I was happy and in love (and still am) but I was ill. No biggie, I had thought. Just a cold. Or the flu. But it was far more than that. I was down until early May. Five and a half months of runny nose, congestion, coughing my brains out, and what turned out to be actual pneumonia. Four batches of antibiotics. All as a result of what was either one super-crazy infection, or multiple overlapping infections. Either way, after the year that was 2017, spending the first half of 2018 practically (and on many days actually) bedridden meant my productivity for the year was going to be crap. And that’s exactly what happened. There were precisely two publications in 2018 that had contributions from me. I’ll get to those in a bit.
