I'm slightly revising my weather forecast for Comic-Con International. Our whole time there, we'll be looking at highs around 72° and lows around 66° but the remnants of a storm will be drifting through Arizona and backing up into the lower portions of California. So there'll be some humidity and a fair amount of clouds and a minor chance of some rain sprinkles by the weekend of the con. Not as perfect as our usual Comic-Con weather.
Hard to believe it all starts next Wednesday night. Everyone I know who's going is rushing to get things done and when I tell them, as I do, "Don't worry…I've arranged for the con to be postponed two weeks," they don't believe me of course but there's that faint glimmer of "Oh, if only you could…"
For those who've asked: My knee is healing but not as fast as I'd hoped. Right now, it's kind of unpredictable. Feels fine for an hour, then hurts for half an hour, then feels fine for three hours, then aches for one, etc. There doesn't seem to be any pattern, any particular thing I'm doing that brings on pain or makes it go away. I'm working with a Physical Therapist and I think that's doing me some good but I couldn't tell you how. Anyway, I will be at the con though I may be scootering around now and then, and I haven't ruled out piggyback-rides from Tony Isabella. Tony may have ruled that out but I haven't.
And speaking of transportation, a lot of folks who attend the con get around via San Diego's peachy trolley system. Scott Marinoff suggests I tell you that some changes have been made since last year so you might want to consult this page. You might also want to consult this one that details some of the ongoing construction work.
I am off to the Physical Therapist. If I can't get rid of this limp, maybe he can show me how to look more graceful in my hobbling…
