Day: November 29, 2003

Is common sense more common than the common cold? And are either found to be more common in England’s House of Commons? And is it true that the sentence, “Carmen Miranda had a common veranda?” reads exactly the same forwards and backwards if you’re insane? Or illiterate? Or both?

Spent a good chunk of the day at the Big Apple Convention, meeting and greeting fans and signing a ton of comics. Everyone was gracious and friendly, and quite a few had nice things to say about both “Captain Marvel” and, most gratifyingly (considering where it stands in the sales rankings) “Fallen Angel.” Also quite a few said they read this blog, so a big hello to all who do. It was great to see you all.

Won’t be at the convention tomorrow. As noted earlier, if you want to see me, put on ESPN between 1 and 2:30 PM and maybe you’ll spot us at the bowling competition. We’ll probably be wearing our “Pirates of the Caribbean” shirts.
