I moan a lot here about airlines but I have to tell ya: The two flights we took to get here Friday ("here" being Columbus, Ohio) couldn't have gone much smoother. I still don't like the fight-for-your-seat policy at Southwest Airlines but the planes both took off on time, both landed early and both were staffed with pleasant, helpful folks. What's more, our luggage even showed up where and when it was supposed to show up. Can't do much better than that.
Carolyn and I flew in with our friends Gregg Berger, Len Wein and Marv Wolfman and today, we spent a fun day at Mid-Ohio-Con. I did three panels, signed a mess o' comics and answered a lot of questions, some of which weren't even about Jack Kirby. I'll write more of the con when I'm not about to go off to dinner but I did get to chat with Herb Trimpe, Joe Rubinstein, Dick Ayers, Joe Jusko, Billy Tucci, Thom Zahler, Tony Isabella, Bob Ingersoll, Gary Friedrich, Maggie Thompson, Brian Kane, Ron Frenz, Fred Hembeck and I know I'm forgetting a lot of names. I'll get them tomorrow. The Mongolian barbecue awaits!
