I need these boxes picked up, but the FBI won’t take them. They didn’t even want those VHS tapes.

Wu Who?
Today I was asked an out-of-nowhere question by my eldest sister. “Do you remember meeting Michelle Wu?” Boston mayor Michelle Wu? Uh, no.
At my nephew’s wedding in 2006, Wu was his wife’s maid of honor, and when I was told that, I remembered her at the ceremony and reception. In a toast to the happy couple, Wu gave a moving speech that had some people in tears, wait staff as well as invited guests.
Hopeless Cases
I am appalled by these uninformed and misinformed Trump loyalists. “Whataboutism” is all they’ve got.
My First Favorite Marvel Artist
John Romita became my first favorite Marvel artist with the first Marvel Comic I bought, Daredevil #19.
Romita wasn’t a flashy artist, and he wasn’t a fast artist. He was a dedicated, hard-working professional whose attractive style greatly expanded the popularity of Spider-Man after the departure of co-creator Steve Ditko.
John Romita passed away in his sleep Monday night at age 93, leaving us with one fewer of the few remaining comic book creators of the Silver Age.

A Fool and His Tools
Even a simple job, like replacing one side of a door casing, requires a lot of tools.
Time Passages
In America, the Beatles were a phenomenon that lasted from their arrival in New York, February, 1964, until Paul’s breakup announcement in April, 1970. Just six short years.
I retired six long years ago, and with a click I can instantly return to that time.
“Time Passages” by Al Stewart is another song I remember well from my stint working in radio.
