Shout out to Sam in Cambridge

It is my understanding from one of my sources (which are legion) that a gentleman named Sam, a board frequenter who lives in the Cambridge area, is going through a rough time because his Dad has had a stroke. Obviously there’s nothing of a practical nature that I or anyone hereabouts can do, but I do extend my hopes to Sam for his father’s speedy recovery.

Consider it mentioned

I’m a big fan of your work (currently enjoying FNSM / your run on the Hulk
was terrific and still unsurpassed) and was wondering if you can mention on
your blog that I’m doing a radio show about the CBLDF tomorrow on 104.4
Resonance FM (London) / streamed at www.resonancefm.com / podcast at

The show’s at 10.30 GMT and features an interview with Charles Brownstein…

with thanks,

The New Year

I certainly hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year.

A local bowling alley had a New Years Eve celebration that Kathleen, Ariel and I attended (Caroline wouldn’t have liked the loud noise and disco lights.) That ran until 8 PM, and then all of us (Caroline included) went to a party some neighbors were having down the street. Caroline ran out of gas ten minutes shy of midnight and fell asleep in my lap. Ðìçk Clark was looking a bit better than last year, but the damage from the stroke was still evident. It’s clear they’re grooming Ryan Seacrest to take over for him, which is kind of…I dunno…eh.

Some great marathons on TV, I have to say. James Bond on Encore, South Park on Comedy Central, Twilight Zone on Sci-Fi. If you’re an up-all-nighter as I used to be, plenty to watch while everyone else has gone to bed.

Hope everyone got home safely and didn’t get too drunk.
