I will be taking commissions again, if and when I get my drawing hand back. Still too many tremors to draw (or even type well, which also messes with my ability to write with any felicity). But I’m improving weekly.

RIP to the great Walter Koenig, who brilliantly played Psi Cop Bester on all five seasons of Babylon 5. A frightening performance by a wonderful man.

Happy 40th birthday, Redwall! "Cluny's voice shook as he addressed the nightmare visitor. 'Who are you?' The Warrior stepped forward into the daylight. Sunrays glinted diamond-like off his sword. 'I am that is!'"

Ok, so Goodreads is now allowing 1/4 star ratings for books, after previously offerings only the whole numbers 0 - 5. The question is … do I re-rate the 2500+ I’ve already rated, knowing that many are no longer accurate? Decisions. Decisions.

I hate to say this, but the French government’s response so far to thee outrageous violence, arson, and looting is simply proving Donald Rumsfeld’s famous point that “weakness is provocative.”

In 1961, comic books were priced at 10 cents each. Applying 65 years of inflation, as measured by the Consumer Price Index and calculated using the US Inflation Calculator (usinflationcalculator.com), that 10-cent cover price should have inflated to … 86 cents.

Even if we jump to 1974, that 20-cent cover price is the equivalent of … $1.04 today. 😢
