Peter A. David Needs Our Help
Mar. 19th, 2025 05:33 pmPassing this along, as I have confirmation from multiple sources that it is for real. Peter's work sits in my comics storage boxes and on my bookshelves, and I've enjoyed much of it over the decades. If you can help and haven't already done so, please do.

On the Winter Holidays of 2024
Dec. 22nd, 2024 10:34 amI've noted this before: in 2002, on Christmas Day, my father died of metastasized renal cell cancer. Some forty years earlier, a cousin of mine was born on Christmas Day.
The day has been a mixed blessing for my extended family across the decades, and I wait and wonder what twists the occasion will bring this time.
And so...here is us again. Those of us still here, anyway.
It's been a wild year, running the full range of emotion from joy to despair.
I wish you the best possible greetings of the Season, by whatever Name(s) you choose to honour it. I wish you peace, hope, wisdom, freedom, justice, and love. If you do not find them, may they find you and may it bring joy to you when they do.

I don't think we got to know each other very well, and it's still a loss.

Jan. 22nd, 2023 01:40 pmFor those of you learning of this from me first...I'm sorry. I just stumbled onto the news via my Reading List.

Never got to know her well, and she was part of several of the ongoing conversations of this venue, and - if memory serves - LiveJournal before that. I'm grateful nonetheless that she lived and that we got to know her at all.

...that there is still more than the one that falls on this date. This link to an earlier blog entry serves to name anew at least a half-dozen that matter to me in various ways:

Oh, and from Elayne Riggs, who still lives in New York, a question that still stands a year later:
https://elayneriggs.blogspot.com/2021/09/twenty-try-two-hundred.html
I suspect that we can both ask that question over and over, from now until the Day of Judgement, and the answer is still going to be "no". That answer won't be fair, won't be just in any way, and it's still going to be the answer we'll both keep getting.
I hope to someday be wrong in a pleasant way.
