I'm almost back. Thanks to all of you who left me alone for a few days and understood that I was not ill, just overwhelmed with Things To Do. Normal posting — to the extent my postings are ever "normal" — will resume in the next few days.
I had the pleasure/honor/delight (it was all of those) to meet Congressman John Lewis at Comic-Con one year. He was just sitting there in the Green Room at the Eisner Awards, waiting to go on and present a couple of 'em and he couldn't have been nicer. I went up to him and said something like, "Hello. I would like to be able to brag for the rest of my life that I got to meet you." Many others did that at the con but I seem to be the only one who was dumb enough to not get a photo with that great man.
I'm not following political matters too closely at the moment but I did take the time to read the New York Times account of how the Trump Administration botched the pandemic response — and "botched" seems like too mild a world to describe something that has caused and is still causing so much death, pain and economic ruination.
For dinner tonight, I used DoorDash to order Zankou Chicken — which if it isn't the best rotisserie chicken in town, it's darn close. I got a whole chicken and a container of Basmati Rice and I ate about a third so I have two more meals left.
From the moment I ordered until the time it was on my doorstep for a "contactless delivery" was a bit under 30 minutes and since I joined "DoorDash Plus" where you don't pay delivery fees each time, the total price was $20.47 including their suggested tip. Can't do much better than that.
