I met Ellispn a grand total of once but he couldn't have been nicer. He was quite complimentary about my art samples (in front of Dick Giordano, no less) and wished me the best of luck in finding work. I knew his reputation but he certainly failed to live up to it on that decades-past summer day.
Cei-U! I summon the happy memory!

Welcome to October. It's now officially spooky and Pumpkin Spice season. I like the spooky, but the next time I have something Pumpkin Spice will be my first time; I just don't get the appeal. But if it's your thing, good on you, enjoy. -M How could you know whether or not it is your thing if you haven't tried it? I like to get a few when the season starts, but I get bored of it pretty quickly. Too much distraction and dilution of my coffee.

I find the smell of it unappetizing, and haven't wanted to actually taste it. I like things like Pumpkin Pie, but 1 slice a year is enough for me, but the scent of anything pumpkin spice is enough for me to know I don't want to actually taste it. -M

What a way to totally destroy a perfectly innocent cup of coffee.

Disliking pumpkin spice and mayo is a betrayal of my own skin color. But I’m okay with that. Now pass me the hot sauce, these chitlins aint gonna eat themselves.

This is the first I ever heard of pumpkin spice. I'll have to look it up to see what it is.

I like cinnamon a lot, not crazy about the rest, and feel it spoils the cinnamon flavor rather than enhancing it, so I would prefer to just stick to cinnamon flavor. I like nutmeg in certain situations, but not usually when its mixed with cinnamon. Clove and all spice I can do without. -M

I hate the taste of pumpkin. That's all.

It's Indigenous People day, taking a moment to honor my Cree heritage (great-grandparent on one side, great-great grandparent on the other).

The World Wildlife Fund reports that the populations of vertebrate species in the world have dwindled by 69 percent in the past 50 years.
By comparison, there were 3 billion human beings in 1960, 5 billion by 1987, and there will be 8 billion by the end of this year.

Guess who has two thumbs and a positive COVID test? THIS GUY! Mostly feeling fine. I had the most recent booster about a month ago, and for my money, I'm a fan. I barely even noticed I was sick.
I was fatigued and had chills last night, so I went to bed early and took a test in the morning. I already feel ~85% better. My test was instantly and vividly positive. My wife had the faintest line. Both kids negative so far. I am crossing my fingers they dodge it.

Both kids negative so far. I am crossing my fingers they dodge it. I'm in the middle of a bout of Covid for the second time right now. It started off like a little mild cold on Monday, but really hit me the second and third days. I still don't feel as bad as I did the first time I had it, which I put down to the less potent variants that are about nowadays, but I still feel pretty rough. My wife hasn't caught it thus far, and we're hoping that remains the case. I had my third booster back in February and will be eligible for my fourth in just a few weeks time (though that will have to be delayed slightly, as I think you have to have been clear for 4 weeks or more???). Hope you feel better soon.
