smacky and bucky

Hey, wow! My last post was number 600! How about that.

This past weekend: resort on the Chesapeake Bay, lots of seafood, going to the driving range (twice, baby!), reading the zombie book from previous entry, having a relaxing weekend with my sweetie.

On the way back from the coast we met wife's Maryland sister and husband (not to be confused with NYC sis, or newly married Portland, Oregon sis), for lunch in Annapolis. Hot day for walking around, but just happened to pass a small comic shop and picked up the last few issues of Heroes for Hire, which I find to be a fun series that doesn't take itself too seriously. Good looking women doing kung fu and fighting robots, ninjas, giant bugs, you name it. Toss in some second (or third)-string teammates like Shang-Chi (who had his own "Master of Kung Fu" comic series in the 1970s) and Black Cat, and you've got a potent mix of martial arts, superhero, blacksploitation, sci-fi, and comedy. Good stuff.

Ready for another week in the real world.
