Sorry I haven't been around as much as usual but things have been busy here, plus I've been fixing this 'n' that on the new software…which, I know, looks an awful lot like the old software. Since this site has been around for a while, a lot of our old video links don't link to anything anymore. But right after the changeover to the new codes, about 400 of them that should have worked didn't and I've now fixed that. Any video links now that don't work never will. A few more other bugs will soon be exterminated as well.
I have written a lot on this blog about my neighbor back when I was growing up, Betty Lynn. Folks know her best as Thelma Lou on The Andy Griffith Show but she was on a lot of other programs, sometimes as a guest and sometimes as a recurring character. The fine folks at MeTV have whipped up a little quiz about her TV appearances not as Thelma Lou and I thank Eduardo Duran for letting me know about it.
Didn't watch The State of the Union live and I only caught a few snippets online. I'm just not in the mood for "Everything my party does or wants to do is right, everything your party does or wants to do is wrong." And too often when I hear those kind of people, my main thought is: "You don't really believe what you're saying. You just think it will get you cheers and donations from your base."
Lastly for now: A number of friends of mine in the comic book business are wrestling with this question: What do you do when someone gets hold of your address and without asking first, ships you one or many comics you worked on, asking that you sign them and send them back? They may or may not include return postage and packing material. The options seem to be (1) sign them and send them back or (2) consider them a gift for you to do with as you please. From now on, I'm opting for (2) and what I'll do with them will probably be philanthropic. Anyone have a problem with that?
