We have landed in NYC. The peanuts the airline served us expired in November 2008, which I guess is one of their cost saving techniques. This was our first time having to pay for a checked bag and it has made us both a little cranky. But besides that this has been an uneventful transit […]
We made it with no problems to Cincinatti. There’s lousy wifi and cell service in Concourse B, but otherwise it’s a decent airport. Rob is in search of coffee now.
We’re at the Chattanooga airport, waiting for our flight through Cincinatti to NYC. I’m sad to be leaving my family, but also looking forward to the comparatively slower pace of New York. We had a lot of family to see in a very short amount of time.

My AMC column on Fantasy Fashion in 2008 went live this morning, but I was busy hanging out with my mom and my niece in pursuit of fashion. Granted, it was in one of Dante’s unnamed concentric circles of hell — the mall the day after Christmas — so these fashions from Fantasy films might

My six year old niece heard us talking about a recipe and asked what tofu was. Rob started to explain, including the phrase, “They add calcium carbonate to it.” I went, “Um, you might…” He caught himself and said, “It looks like white jello.” That was all she really wanted to know.
My nephew decorated his home tree with ornaments he made himself. See that? That’s the Flying Spaghetti Monster. May you all be touched by his noodly apendage
I’ve known Paul Abbamondi online for a couple of years now and sort of thought that we’d actually met at a con at some point. Not so! We met for the first time at Philcon. And Paul has immortalized our meeting in a comic strip. This is my first comic strip appearance and it makes
The rules on this one are simple. For 8 days, post 1 thing every day that made you happy. Then tag 8 other people. Here’s mine. Last night I sat in front of the fire in my parents’ house with Rob and talked to my folks. Look! The stockings are hung by the chimney with
08:58 Rob and I are waiting for the bus to the airport. We are on our way to Chattanooga. # 09:14 On the bus with a driver who is cranky even by NYC standards. # 10:20 Not bad. I got pulled for additional screening for my mic, but otherwise a clean checkin. # 11:46 We

We’re on the plane in D.C. Dad, they have a Gordon Biersch in the airport. We thought of you.
Aside from getting pulled for additional screening because of the Blue Snowball mic in my bag, it was pretty smooth getting here. They ignored the 10 stainless steel chopsticks in my bag and the liquids which I forgot to pull out. At the moment, I’m thrilled to be liberated from airport wi-fi thanks to my
My niece has reached her majority and in honor of that milestone, I offer you this video of baby pandas playing in the snow.

It’s snowing big, beautiful fluffy flakes right now as we’re getting ready to head out to the airport. We’ve given ourselves extra time to get there. The flight is listed as being on time and the snow is supposed to turn to rain about the time we’re due to take off. Fingers crossed, eh?

11:23 Heading out to drop off props and then brave the crowds to do some shopping. NOT looking forward to the shopping part. # 15:34 If my computer won’t boot into windows or linux, that’s not good, right? # 15:57 I’m at the post office with the rest of North America. # 20:00 Successfully returned
