Not sure what I can add to that--other than the observation that I am FAR more predictable than David fears he is! We are what we are!
Also, in other Motime news--I am hoping, once again, to make good my return to blogging on a quasi-regular basis! (Of course, given my history here, you might want to take that announcement with a huge chunk of salt.) My situation has changed considerably, over the past couple of months. I've got a job writing for an entertainment company--and I'm seriously contemplating bailing on academia ( I WILL be teaching an American history class in the fall--but, right now, I'm expecting that assignment to be my last stand, as a scholar---at least for a while)
The mere thought of escaping university has already spurred me to write A LOT of fiction (which may or may not lead to anything--but I'm sure having fun with it)--and that excitement could very well spill over onto this blog too!
I don't think I'll continue with the Roy Thomas stuff right now though... Instead, I believe I'll do some ranting about Mark Gruenwald's much-neglected (and more topical than ever!) run on Captain America (in a format similar to the one currently serving Jason Powell so well, over at Geoff Klock's blog). I've been itching to re-read those. Haven't you?
good afternoon friends!
Dave
