Oh yeah… I had a comic, didn’t I? Vacation is over, and I’m back to the regularly scheduled programming. Maybe next time I leave town, I’ll be smart enough to load one or two of these onto my phone… but don’t rely on me being smart.

Can you believe that to this day, some old people don’t have e-mail? I don’t know how they managed to spend the last 30 years refusing to interact with the modern world. It must take real dedication.

The actors we had were great people, and I’m still friends with some of them on facebook. In general, actors only know what the encyclopedia and the script say about history. So many pet peeves of historians and re-enactors get passed on this way. I finally get the other tour guides straight on how medieval table manners work, and someone comes along with a whole bit about how Shakespeare uses “old english”- NO!

Not everybody spends hours reading scholarly articles for fun, I guess.

I used to drive a Ford Taurus, so it’s an ox. Get it? That’s comedy! The worst part of Canadian winters is when you get that thin layer of ice on the car. The one that’s too thick to defrost and too think for the scraper to get any bite into. And, of course, I can’t keep the car in a garage because then were would all my spare tires and half-completed projects live?

Today is 30c and I am melting.
