I meant to post earlier in the week but Life happened. Per my trip odometer, I am 157 miles from my home in Darien, working remotely in the basement of my parents' house. I'll be down here until after Christmas. I've been to the local American Legion post once so far (Queen of Hearts drawing - I did not win) and will be going tonight for a fish fry. Below, other News of Note.
1) Barbie: Before heading to The Home Soil, I watched the Barbie movie. It was a bit silly in parts (not surprising, since it was based on a doll) but overall very entertaining.
2) Joe Pickett: My parents are very heavy TV watchers, although they do have a habit of watching whatever is on CBS. The past few days CBS's prime-time fare has been game shows and specials. In the interest of something different, we're trying the neo-Western Joe Pickett. It's also pretty good albeit a bit grim and gritty.
3) Capricon: I have seen a draft schedule for Capricon, to be held in the River North area of Chicago February 1-4. Since it's still in flux, I'm not sharing it, but it is moving forward. I also note that this year the programming will be on floors 3 and 4 of the hotel, which are much more accessible to wheel-based fans.
