Comics - did I mention that I love them?

Especially, Silver/Bronze Age ones.

Unsticking the back tape of the plastic comic sleeve. Carefully removing said comic. Oh, the anticipation. Haven't done that in a looooong time. I bought some old comics at Comic Con so now I get to do it again. Yay!

The most special memories I have with comics are because of my awesome dad. Before a camping trip, we would make a stop at a comic book store. He would let my brother and I pick out comics to bring and read during the camping trip. I guess I am bit girly because I sort of gravitated to the Lois Lane and Supergirl comics, with the occasional Superman. Of course, I always read whatever Shane choose too. But we are definitely a DC family.

In the 90s, we also collected some of the contemporary comics, like the various Superman titles, Supergirl, and the Legion of Super Heroes. Good times.

Thanks, Dad, for sharing this world with us!!!

Newest Walking Plan

I brought my sneakers and crummy old khaki cut-offs (they were once my favorite pair of pants but then the knees got holes, so cut-offs seemed like the next best option. They also have various shades of yellow paint splattered here and there.) into work to wear for my after-lunch stroll/hike.

I really do love walking.

Google Plus - now what?

Anyone else there? I'm in it but functionality feels limited. I guess I need to remember that it is in beta. I look forward to when that iPhone app comes out. I do like the idea of "hangout" feature and not so sure about the +1 (similar to FB's Like button, I guess).

Well, I guess more playing is required. ;D

Breakfast!

I'm not the best pancake maker or flipper but sometimes I just can't resist, and I overcome my fear of pancake flipping.
