Tonight, I was curious what was in a storage cabinet in the bottom of a bookcase. I found some jar candles of various scents, as well as 2 books that belonged on the shelves above the cabinet standing up with the front covers facing out. Those books were hiding a sealed superhero jigsaw puzzle.

Today was one of those days when the universe conspired to keep me from getting much done. Hopefully, things will go better for me in the morning.

I went out to dinner tonight and got a waitress who has been working at that restaurant for several years, although I had not seen her in a while. She asked if I was eating alone or if my wife would be joining me. (My wife died over 2 and a half years ago.) I did not handle it well, unfortunately

My first Superman comic! What's yours? #Superman

Share your favorite cover to cleanse the timeline. Here's one of them, at least. youtu.be/1raboO1gK_A?...

This gives me the opportunity to show off my Hembeck sketch card of Captain Carrot again.

The vet recommended another two more weeks of antibiotic for Ellie. Sad face.

Ellie got her last antibiotic dose this morning and has a follow-up appointment with the vet tomorrow afternoon. Let's hope the infection is all gone now.

I spent the day doing a much needed cleaning of my home, and I'm paying for it tonight with a killer backache. I hope covering my back with one of those lidocaine roll-ons will provide enough pain relief to let me get at least a few hours of sleep tonight.

This is my favorite R.E.M. album. It barely beats out Automatic for the People. Leave is my favorite song off it, but I also love Wake Up Bomb, E-Bow the Letter, Binky the Doormat, Low Desert, and How the West Was Won.

I think about this world a lot and I cry And I've seen the films and the eyes But I'm in this kitchen Everything is beautiful And she is so beautiful She is so young and old I look at her and I see the beauty Of the light of music ... Song: You Are The Everything Album: Green

I love the Justice League cartoon. I apologize for the crappy phone shot video.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

There's an inside story to this that I won't share, but it's a tie between "You Are the Everything" and "Lotus" for entirely different reasons, with "Leave", "These Days", and "Driver 8" rounding out my top 5.

This is Ellie. We got the bad news last Wednesday that Ellie has cancer. She is also dealing with an infection that requires antibiotic treatment twice a day. She doesn't like the antibiotic, so as she feels better from it, she is fighting me more and more when I administer it to her.

One of my favorite songs off of Document!

I'm having a very boring day considering it's my birthday. I took the day off planning to make a day trip, but that fell through. So I've been watching bad TV and playing video games instead, just like I would have 30 years ago.

Is your comic guy this cool?

Had my 35 year high school reunion this weekend. I had a surprisingly good time at it. I moved back to my hometown 3 years ago, about 8 months before my wife died. I needed to reconnect with people to beat the loneliness, and I think I did that.

Here's the story behind the comic. From 2009-16 (except for 10 months in 2012), I worked at and later managed a comic store in Birmingham AL. My boss was a college friend, but he doesn't have the best business reputation. (Comments about him on Reddit get particularly spicy.)

Finally cleared this achievement in Injustice 2. It's taken a lot of grinding.

Y'all wish good health to my kitty Dex-Starr. We're at the vet today because he's feeling really sick.

I had this as a child and read it over and over until it got into that well-loved but barely holding it together condition.

Top Shelf Friday time! This week, my selection is Adventure Comics #300 cover dated September 1962. This was a gift from my wife many years ago. #topshelffriday

I've had a rough night after a rough day during a tough week. I do hope tomorrow will be better, both for me and for all of you out there.

24 years ago today. I look like crap in this photo because I was dealing with massive anxiety that day. I can't believe it's been 2 and a half years since she died. I miss her so much.

Hey Bluesky comic people! What do you use to hang slabbed comics on the wall?

Top Shelf Friday time! What's a comic in your collection that you think deserves to be on that top shelf? Whether it's a key, rare, or just one you love ❤️ This week, I present my copy of the Final Crisis Legion of 3 Worlds #1 RRP sketch variant featuring George Perez pencil art.

Good evening y'all. It has been an absolutely craptastic day today, and my depression and loneliness are trying to get the better of me tonight. Anybody receive any good news, have any kind words, or score a great comic find recently that they would care to share?

Facebook made a friend suggestion to me of a woman whose name I don't recognize even though we have many friends in common. As I'm scrolling through her feed as I try to see if I remember her, I find some really old photos from the 90's she posted, and I'm even in a few of them!

25 years ago today, after a particularly bad Friday at work, I was out at a long dead bar called Mind Games in 5 Points South in Birmingham and the woman who would become my wife walked into my life. We had almost 23 wonderful years together before her death 26 months ago. I miss her so much.

If you see this, post a dragon! I may be biased because I did undergrad there, but Blaze the Dragon is the coolest looking college mascot in the US.

Today was a good day. I got to run over to Birmingham and see 3 of my closest friends for the first time in weeks. I get home tonight, and all 3 of my kitties have shown me love. I can't ask for too much more out of a day right now.

I haven't backed a lot of crowd funded comics, but I need this in my collection! Please help it get across the finish line.

This is IT! Mere hours stand between us and indie comic glory? Can we make $789 before the end of the month? Let's find out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl... Reposts are appreciated!

Yay, my new comics shipment from @sterlingsilvercomics.com arrived today and is filled with all kinds of goodies. I think I'm most looking forward to reading the 3 Absolute titles from DC and the Back Issue Keith Giffen tribute issue.

Next digital backer puts us at 75% funded! www.kickstarter.com/projects/jpl...

Happy Holidays, everybody!

As a UAB alum, this was very painful to watch.

Guess what arrived in the mail for me today? It does exist!

If you see this post a Superboy. If you've never read this story, you'll never guess who Mighty Girl really is!

Comic friends, I don't have my copy of Overstreet's Grading Guide handy at the moment. Can someone tell me what the max grade on a coverless comic is?
