There's good news tonight: My friend and collaborator Will Meugniot is already up and walking after his cancer surgery yesterday. So says his wonderful wife Jo. You have no idea how happy this makes me.
This blog was down for about twenty minutes yesterday because of maintenance work by its hosting company. I think some folks are spoiled by websites like eBay and CNN which are almost never/ever down because I got something like forty e-mails, some time-stamped three minutes after we went offline. I'm sorry for the outage but do yourself a favor, folks. If a non-vital site is down — and this one is about as non-vital as you can get — give it a half-hour or so before you write to complain.
I'm a little confused. Trump's lawyers are saying there's no way he can come up with the dough he's supposed to pay by the Monday deadline. He's running around saying he's got the cash. I suppose we'll find out in about 36 hours. When I get up that morning, I'm going to check eBay and see if Mar-a-Lago is up there with a $1 opening bid. If I can get it for less than six grand, I might buy it. Looks like a great place to store documents.
Note to self: Never order a Fatburger again. They aren't anywhere near as good as they were when you occasionally had one last century.
For those who live in Southern California: There will be five performances of the very-adult improvised show from the Henson Company, "Puppet Up!" between April 26 and April 28. Tickets are on sale now but going fast. I'm skipping this time but you might not want to.
Lastly for now and because people keep writing to ask: No, neither Sergio Aragonés nor I will be present at WonderCon next weekend. But if you are, I'm sure you'll have a peachy time. Make sure to say howdy to my longtime friend, Tony Isabella. And I ain't kidding about longtime friend. We met in person close to 54 years ago following 2-3 years of intense pen-palling.
