For the first two weeks of April, my local library holds a "Friends of the Library" sale. This is a huge flea market/ thrift store-type sale in an old store (it's actually the former library of my library branch) where they sell books, records, games, and moveis that people have donated throughout the previous years. …

Deadman #1-7
A little more than five years ago (wow, has this blog really been around that long?), I reviewed the masterpiece that was the Andrew Helfer/Jose Luis Garcia Lopez (praised be his name) four-issue Deadman miniseries from 1986. As I was reading, I saw a couple of references to a recently-published series, which is where that …
Secret Origins #31, 45, 46
I don't know how this has happened but in the last month, I've been able to complete two comic book runs and come closer to completing a third just by stopping by my LCS to see what they have in their "Fresh Friday" backstock bins (which, btw, is one of the most simple and best …

It was free, the meditations were ten minutes, and I do it every …
The Year in Uncollecting 2023
Just as 2022 was challenging both mentally and emotionally, 2023 was more of the same with the added bonus of physical challenges--COVID, a couple of really bad checkups at the doctor, and continuous sleep issues (despite the CPAP). So just as it has in the past, my numbers (and my debt) went down, up, down, up, …
Personal Archaeology 27: Voices Inside
My "collection" of student newspapers from high school. The first one is from September 1992; the last is from June 1995. In my senior year of high school, I decided I wanted to be a writer, and I figured that the easiest way to make that happen was to go into a career in journalism. Why that …
