Voters reach a point of election fatigue where they dread answering the phone, opening the door and flipping through their mail. Candidates for all offices try and reach out in several ways, trying to get their name and message across.For those of us in the trenches, working to get people elected, we also reach a […]
With less than a week to go before the election, there’s a lot being written about the enthusiasm gap. I noticed it last year when we could barely motivate the democrats in Fairfield or even more than a handful of independents to come out and vote.It’s not that the Democrats don’t care, but there’s a […]
This morning I was called in for substitute teaching duty (and for the third time in a row, it was on a Friday; I detect a pattern). This time it was heading over to Roger Ludlow Middle School, where Robbie and Kate attended. I last walked those halls in 2002 when I subbed during Robbie’s […]
While this may appear like short notice for you, I’ve been talking on and off with the people behind Baton Rouge’s Fandemonium for some months now. Well, as of today, it’s official, I am an invited VIP guest of the show, which will be held November 12-14.I’ll be a guest alongside actor Robert Picardo, whose […]

My time at New York Comic-Con was concentrated into two full, tiring days. The show has been growing at a nice pace and so far, five years in, they have kept Hollywood from overrunning it with a nice mix of media properties but a theme repeated throughout the weekend was how refreshing it was that […]
This weekend I will be at the New York Comic-Con. My schedule is filling in nicely as I make plans to visit numerous publishers to follow-up on existing projects or pursue new ones. I’ll be walking the floor as a free agent although I will most frequently be at the DelRey Booth promoting The Essential […]
