We're back. Dr. Doom was wonderful and the medical news was the best possible result. I didn't say anything about any other Dr. Doom. I'm sure she's heard it all before.
Thanks for the good wishes!

I don't know... perhaps she's a comic fan too, and has waited for years for an opportunity to say "BAH! Get OUT of my OFFICE, DOLT!", but fearing no one would get it! I'm glad all went well.

On that subject, this is the stuff that conspiracy theories are built on : a study on Covid-19 and excess death done by a Professor Moriarty!

Next time you go to see her, you should casually drop in words like "fantastic!" and "things are looking grim" and watch for her response.

Did anyone, by some chance, save the Classic Comics Christmas threads from CBR? I was thinking about one of them earlier today and couldn’t remember my lineup.
I know it’s been a long time…but we lost a LOT of history in the meltdown.

I have a list of each year's topics but not of anyone's entries, not even my own.
Cei-U! I summon the tremendous loss!

I kind of figured that was the case. I was just hoping.

I tried to take my new (to me) motorcycle comic-book shopping. The plan fell apart. I have these small boxes which hold about a dozen comics, which I use to store floppies on my bookshelf. I emptied one so I could use it as a protector of my purchased comics in the saddlebag. It turns out the box doesn't quite fit. So much for my dream of criss-crossing the great state of Illinois on my bike, going from comic shop to comic shop. It would fit if the opening at the top of the saddlebag wasn't so restricting. I'm going to look for different saddlebags next year. These were already on the motorcycle when I bought it, so it's not like I made a huge blunder. As long as I got the camera out, I took a step back for a picture of the full bike. My new vroom-vroom - a 2015 Yamaha Bolt: (These pics seem pretty large. Is it considered good for to shrink these?)

Despite the initial setback, it remains a good dream!

All you really need is a sidecar big enough to hold a long box.

Wear a back pack.

Not a bad idea, but a long ride already takes a toll on me. I think even the relatively light weight of a backpack would be a hinderance I don't want.
