I HAVE BEEN AWAY FROM THIS IMITATION BLOG FOR SO LONG, I feel like I am part of a one-year-later storyline.
I SHALL RETURN TOMORROW with links to things of interest, including the upcoming SF SKETCHFEST.
AND FOR NOW, you will just have to live with the mystery of why I suddenly have a peg leg and am president of the colonies.
That is all.
1981, VIRGINIA: Tourists flock to Richmond to experience Champ Stanley’s latest forecast: a rain of tiny bells made from a mysterious metal of unknown origin. This follows previous rains of silvery thread, ingenious puzzle boxes with coins inside, and little golden snakes that could speak. And so Richmond, too, is showered with wealth as visitors fill up its hotels and restaurants, taking each new odd item from the sky with them as they leave as tokens and proof that Richmond, without rival, is the most magical city in the United States.

Peg leg and PotC? You’re like an average of Dr. Baltar AND Gaeta. I hope a cult of your own and mournful ballads were involved.

But do you have a hook for a hand?

It’s been a rough week, Mr. Hodgman. Within the span of just one week, we lost “The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien,” “Ugly Betty,” and “The Baldur and Loki Musical Variety Hour, Sponsored by Kraft.”
Thank the good lord that you’ve returned to us. We needed you.

That is all right, sir. No harm is done as I have been away, also, readying an experiment in the new industry of online publishing by preparing an old and beloved comedy screenplay of mine, title of “Whackers,” for presentation at Smashwords sometime in the next week or so.
More later . . .
