It's hard to wrap my brain around most things these days but a biggie today is that were it not for that virus thing we've all heard about, I'd be down in San Diego this morning, scurrying to get to a breakfast meeting before a business meeting before a panel before another panel, before a press interview, before another panel and so on.
I miss Comic-Con but I'm glad they ain't having it this year. For one thing, it wouldn't be Comic-Con. It would be Covid-Con and we'd all be struggling with where and when to wear masks and the number one topic of discussion would be who's gotten vaccinated and who hasn't. I'm not sure if I'd even be there. The novel coronavirus — which has long since stopped being a novelty in our lives — has been a powerful disincentive to go anywhere, to do anything outside my home. That is not necessarily a good thing but it is what it is.
If you're home this weekend, enjoy being at home this weekend. And watch some of the fine programming that's been concocted for your home viewing. Naturally, I'm pushing my three…
