Good to hear the big storm wasn't as bad in New York as some had feared. The folks on CNN yesterday certainly did their best to make it sound like the end of mankind as we know it.
Believe it or not, I'm starting to plan out the panels I'll be hosting at WonderCon in Anaheim over Easter Weekend. One thing some people don't get about this or Comic-Con is that these things are arranged well in advance. Every year, I get a couple of calls a week or so before either convention from folks asking me if I can help them get a slot on the schedule for some panel they want to do. Actually, they shouldn't call me at any time.
By the way: Badges and hotel rooms are now available for WonderCon. It's always a great event.
In addition to unwanted phone calls from contractors who want to remodel my home, I hear from companies that want to install solar panels…and now I've started to hear from realtors who wish to convince me this would be the perfect time for me to let them sell my house. Of course, to a realtor there's no time that isn't the perfect time to sell your house. Lately, the ones who've phoned have been trying the ol' "We spoke last year and you asked me to call back" trick, to which I often reply, "Gee, when we spoke last year, I told you to never call me again!" Or sometimes, I just call them liars.
Yesterday, I called one a liar and he admitted we hadn't spoken…but then he said, "Listen, I'll do whatever it takes to make a sale. That's why I'm so good at selling houses." I said, "Well, you're not selling mine" and hung up on him.
I have a meeting to go to and a script to finish so I'll be back later.
