So Kathleen says, “Why don’t you keep a running blog commenting on the debate, since we’ll be watching it anyway.”
Well yeeha, campers, that sounds like a nifty idea. So I’m going to keep this blog ongoing during the debate. Check in as little or often as you wish.

Peter will be at the Graphic Novel Pavilion on Schwartz Plaza (no relation, but there should be) between 3rd and 4th Streets off of Washington Square Park on 10/2 between 4:00 and 4:45.
For more info, check New York Is Book Country or Midtown Comics.
Tom Brevoort and I have decided that “Tempest Fugit” will be five issues instead of six. That’s fine by me. The way the story’s developing, its natural length is five issues. I mean, yeah, I could (pardon the expression) pad it out to six, but what’s the point of that? So TF will be issues 77 through 81. Issue 82 will be a one-off, possibly with a guest artist depending on how deadlines are running. What I’m planning to do is a story that will be self-contained, but at the same time lay groundwork for an ongoing story arc if I continue past #82.

From the AOL newsfeed:
(Sept. 28) – Fewer than two-thirds of the former soldiers being reactivated for duty in Iraq and elsewhere have reported on time, prompting the Army to threaten some with punishment for desertion.
The former soldiers, part of what is known as the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR), are being recalled to fill shortages in skills needed for the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of the 1,662 ready reservists ordered to report to Fort Jackson, S.C., by Sept. 22, only 1,038 had done so, the Army said Monday.
“The numbers did not look good,” said Lt. Col. Burton Masters, a spokesman for the Army’s Human Resources Command.
As an example of the challenges they faced, Masters held up a note from one Private Avon which simply read, “I’m not stupid, I’m not expendable, and I’m not going.”

So we finally got around to watching “Lost,” which we taped while watching another program last Wednesday. (I have to say, I’m not sure how Wednesday every year is this frickin’ clusterbomb of all the shows I want to watch while other nights there’s not a dámņëd thing on I want to see.)
In any event, I’m wishing that “Lost” was on cable so it could have a more appropriate title…
…when it seems to go so frickin’ slow?
At any rate, Yom Kippur is done (well do I remember several years ago when it fell smack on my birthday. “So what are you doing for your birthday?” “Not eating and going to synagogue.”
Still, I had a lot to think about this year, and a lot to be thankful for. Hope everyone else who observed Yom Kippuer this year had an easy fast.
