Many of you have written to ask how my left shoulder's doing. It's doing quite well because I took it to an orthopedist who uttered the magic words, "I know what this is." He also knew how to treat it. As you may recall, I was in agonizing pain when I put my left arm into certain positions…which fortunately did not include the position it's in when I'm typing. But if I reached for something on a high shelf, they could hear me shriek in Kathmandu, Nepal. It ain't totally fixed but it's 80% there and getting better with each passing day. Thanks to all who were concerned.
Some person named Sergio Aragonés and I will be among the guests at Heroes Con, next week in Charlotte, North Carolina. It's June 14-16 and we'll be there all three days but you'll rarely find me at my table. When I go to cons, I don't sell things and I don't like to sit at tables…and Heroes Con has tapped me to host eleven (!) panels in three days. So I'll be there. I'll just be in panel rooms most of the time.
And I'm also prepping for Comic-Con International which, as I write this, is an unbelievable 43 days from now. As you may know, I've been to all of them which means that man, woman, child or house pet seems to be asking me, "How has the convention changed over the years?" My new answer is, "They're still once a year, they're still 4 and a half days long…but somehow, there's now around six weeks between them!"
Last night's episode of Jeopardy! set some big record for tune-in as America watched long-winning champ James Holzhauer go down to defeat. The producers of the show are wondering how the information leaked that on this recorded-some-time-ago episode, Mr. Holzhauer lost. I suggest that on the next show they do, they have the Final Jeopardy! answer be "They leaked the information that James Holzhauer lost on the 6/3/19 episode of Jeopardy!" The correct question would, of course, be "Who are the producers of Jeopardy!"?
