Ant-Man and The Wasp Trailer
Wednesday , 31, January 2018 Comics, Movies Comments Off on Ant-Man and The Wasp TrailerThe first Ant-Man movie was not a blockbuster production, but I enjoyed it nonetheless. So I’m looking forward to the sequel after seeing the new Ant-Man and The Wasp Trailer below.

Happy 88th Birthday, John Romita, Sr.
Wednesday , 24, January 2018 Comic Books Comments Off on Happy 88th Birthday, John Romita, Sr.Wishing a happy 88th birthday of one of my all-time favorite comic book artists, John Romita, Sr. About 2 ½ years ago I explained why he is one of my favorite comic book artists in a post, “Mt.

This post will be a bit deeper than usual, but I need to get this out of my head. No names are used to protect the innocent…and, unfortunately, the guilty as well.

“My Next Guest” with David Letterman
Saturday , 13, January 2018 Television Comments Off on “My Next Guest” with David LettermanI just finished watching the first episode of the new Netflix series, “My Next Guest Needs No Introduction – with David Letterman” with former President Obama as his inaugural guest and I truly enjoyed the entire show. It was fun, poignant, and entertaining. My only wish is that it had been longer (because you could […]
Just cleaning up a bit, sweeping, dusting off the layer of dust that has accrued over the last two years or so of disuse, and mopping up the floor. Just in case we were to, you know, reopen sometime soon.
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2018 and welcome back to this blog.
