It's not that it's slow at work, just the opposite in fact. The shop is operating on a skeleton staff and there really hasn't been time to show me the ropes, so I don't have much to do.<br />
<br />
I also have a small, crowded desk, right next to two of the tech work stations and no cubicle walls to block their view of what I'm doing, so I cannot blatantly do my own stuff. I do a lot of clipboard held Sudoku (with official looking paperwork as the top level) and sneak sketches.<br />
<br />
I have almost enough clear space on my desk to hold a half sheet of paper. And only because I have my computer pushed back. Half a sheet also easily slips under the keyboard for a quick hide. I have been doing sketching on half sheets of paper to keep myself from getting too bored.<br />
<br />
Below are a few examples of these. I started with just random whatever and then went to themes. I tried my hand at practicing drawing characters by the late Luisa Felix to post on her remembrance Facebook page. I worked on designs for a couple of my own characters, Athena, Big Bug and Atlas, and this past week started doing scenes from the Untold Tales of Atlas.<br />

First I decided I wanted to try using musical instruments for a theme. I listed as many as I could think of. Then I started jotting down puns I could think of using them. Eventually a plot came out of the different ideas and I wrote that out. I have done enough scripts for Sam that I have a pretty good idea how long they can be without having to break it down. The turning point is when I have both a starting and an ending point.<br />

For this story I decided to use the computer to draw my panel borders, so I did roughly equal sized panels, but then adjusted them for variety and to better fit the dialog. I also used the computer to do the lettering. I usually have at least a rough sketch in place before I do the lettering, but I somehow decided to letter first, then do the rough layout pencils. Next step was to tighten the pencils and try to get a consistent look to the secondary character.<br />

Both Park Ranger and I love animals and I will happily take pictures of whatever we run across if I brought the camera. We saw the fellow to the right in our back yard one morning.<br />

I was recently out to do some grocery shopping and saw the first couple of geese returned to Goose Field. On the way back I noticed some goslings too. We made it a point to swing by with a camera on our next outing and found <i>two</i> goose couples with their young.<br />
<br />
I was by again this morning and saw several more couples. They were all further out in the field with the grass getting tall, so I couldn't tell if any more babies were running around.<br />

I normally prefer to do these one at a time, but this year individual procedures repeated visits and timing was important on a couple as well.<br />
<br />
The dental work was thrust on me sooner than wanted when an old crown broke off, taking what was left of the tooth with it, meaning I couldn't just have a new one put on. While I was having that checked out, I got a general checkup and found 3 cavities on the other side of my mouth. I decided to have them taken care of first, so I would have at least one useable side of my mouth fairly quickly. But the appointment to fill those cavities was only long enough to deal with one. Why didn't they tell me that only one was being done? So I made sure they scheduled a long enough time slot to take care of both remaining fillings on my next visit. On that next visit I had to wait a rather long time because an emergency had come up that had to be dealt with immediately. And took up enough time that they would only work on one of my teeth.<br />
<br />
Anyway, after the three cavities were finally filled, I made an appointment with an oral surgeon to pull the root of my broken tooth. I had to wait three months for that to heal before they would put in the implant. Three more months to heal before they would put a crown on the post. Final step was accomplished last week.<br />

Early on in that mess I had reached the time for my yearly skin cancer screening, an appointment I'd made a year ago at my last one. The dermatologist was rather rushed, not doing a very good job in my opinion, and had to be talked into checking a lump on my arm where basel cell carcinoma had been previously excised. He did a sloppy job of taking a sample resulting in quite a loss of blood on my part, with a bunch of stitches in my arm, and a big mess in the examination room. I was still glad he had checked it because I once again had basel cell. I had to make another appointment for a different doctor to carve it out. I still have a big divot in my arm. The two pictures above are a couple of days after the operation and then a couple of days after the stitches came out.<br />

<br />
This year, for the health insurance I get through work, I had to visit my primary care physician for a regular check up, but I wanted to wait until my stitches were out, so more waiting, but there was a deadline, so not too much waiting allowed. I also got the pcp to arrange a colonoscopy. There's a family history of cancer, so I try to be very proactive. No polyps were found.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I still have to get new glasses, I'm going only six months between skin cancer screenings because of my recent operation, and the oral surgeon wants to check out how the dentist did in putting in my crown, but I think I am doing good in getting all this taken care of.Postmasterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611705411697388161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624959432984901860.post-40321994850921450662016-05-13T06:05:00.002-04:002016-05-13T06:05:49.901-04:00Happy Kemmer Tiara Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Carrie and I do like making little road trips and I usually take a bunch of pictures during them. Often I will get shots of Carrie and sometimes a shot or two of myself, but almost never do I take a photo of the two of us together. This year I have determined that I am going to change that and take at least one picture of us every month. Even if we don't take a road trip.<br />

So the first of these was taken on a trip down to Portland. We made a stop at Trader Joe's and then were too early to go into Casablanca Comics. We wandered around a little, killing time, looking at architecture and icicles and a Japanese mailbox.<br />
<br />
I used up a little of my credit with the comic shop on some Torpedo hardcovers that were on sale at five bucks each.<br />
<br />
Afterward we went to a bookstore and found some ERB books I didn't have. I used the last of our credit with that store and spent some cash as well to pick up these four books. I hope we can go back soon with more trade goods and see what else they have.Postmasterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611705411697388161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624959432984901860.post-71489243855341445092015-11-13T06:14:00.003-05:002015-11-13T06:14:52.950-05:00Happy Kemmer Tiara Day!<br />

We checked out the Portland Comic Expo for the first time. It was held in the Exposition Building, a big roomy place, but not a heck of a lot was filling it. MECAF was more impressive.<br />

Last week was pretty much the end of peak foliage season locally. We were a little afraid that Acadia National Park, being further north, might be well past its peak for our planned visit this past Monday. It was cold there, but there was still plenty of color!<br />

We had a book from the library about Acadia's carriage roads and the picturesque bridges with various hiking loops described. We chose one that sounded like it had nice views, three bridges and a waterfall. The gatehouse by the parking area gave us hope for good foliage.<br />

There were a lot of evergreens, and a lot of trees overall, growing along the roads and hiding the long range vistas, but we could look up at a beautiful clear blue sky with the sun giving the leaves a stained glass appearance. <br />

Saturday was Maine Open Lighthouse Day. We have taken advantage of this event every year since it started. A large number of Maine lighthouses are opened to the public for this day that you can not normally go into. This year we went to Dyce Head Light in Castine.<br />

The lighthouse exterior would have been more interesting with a natural finish and the views were pleasant, but the stairs were quite wonderful.<br />

We checked out the waterfront by the lighthouse and the waterfront in Castine itself. Castine is the home of the Maine Maritime Academy, but, except for one other point of interest, is has little there.<br />
<br />
The other point is the country's oldest continuous use post office.<br />

It was, as usual, fairly well attended without being too crowded to walk around. I handed out copies of a couple of my mini publications and got some stuff in return. Carrie even spent some money on a few things as well as taking notes on what we may try and get from <a href="http://www.casablancacomics.com/">Casablanca Comics</a> to use up some of my trade credit.<br />

We went to <a href="http://www.casablancacomics.com/">Casablanca Comics</a> in Portland, <a href="http://www.gameboxvideogames.com/">Gamebox</a> in Topsham, and <a href="https://mrmaczapscollection.wordpress.com/comic-shops/zimmies-comics/">Zimmies</a> in Lewiston. I gave out copies of <a href="https://watusithetalkingdog.files.wordpress.com/2012/11/big-top-18-4.jpg">Teebo</a> to the shop staff and was pleased to be remembered. Along the way we stopped at a bunch of yard sales and flea markets, finding a few interesting items here and there. We also found a few things just plain happening.<br />

<br />
Above is this mornings weather report. It's only partially the amount of snow, but the high winds will make it very bad white-out conditions. Yesterday afternoon I was hearing how New York was shutting down the subways today, Massachusetts the highways, town after town here in Maine announcing closures and not to expect their snow removal services to be doing much when blind. Carrie's job even called her to tell her not to bother coming in today. But Governor Lepage was being quiet. I fully expected he was going to leave State Offices open until we were in the midst of the worst of the blizzard today and<i> then</i> announce closings. <br />
<br />
Fortunately he did make the announcement before I tried to leave this morning. We'll let the storm hit and hope it slacks off later today to allow us to use the snowblower.<br />
<br />
For now, it's a stay inside day.Postmasterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611705411697388161noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2624959432984901860.post-10572208947486307892014-12-27T19:14:00.001-05:002014-12-27T19:14:52.908-05:00The Difference Between Rat and Wrong<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Our plans today were to drop some recycle off, go to the indoor fleamarket in Brunswick, and have lunch at a new Vietnamese restaurant that we finally managed to be able to go to when it's open and Carrie and I both have the day off.<br />
<br />
En route we see a white rat scurry across the road in front of us in Lisbon. We, of course, stop so as not to hit it and decide because it's white, must be a domesticated rat that will not survive outside and therefore we must catch it. Which we do with only a little bit of fuss.<br />
<br />
We check with a couple of different people in the neighborhood but they don't know of anybody keeping rats, let alone missing one. One lady mentions a relatively nearby, but out of our way, vet that works with the Lewiston animal shelter and we decide that would probably be the easiest thing to do. Unfortunately, while they do work with the local shelter, which is <i>considerably</i> out of our way, they do so only within certain programs and do not take in any strays anyway. Next we opt to try the one in Brunswick as that's where we're heading.
Carrie gives them a call and, unfortunately truthfully reveals where we
found the rat. They will not take in animals outside of their specified
area.<br />
<br />

We make sure the rat has stuff to chew, air holes, and some soggy clover until we can get some tastier veggies from the restaurant.<br />
<br />
We drop recycle stuff off at the recycle drop and head on to the restaurant. The waitress asks us how we're doing and Carrie mentions a bit of the adventure, still feeling a bit sore at the brusque treatment from the Brunswick shelter once it was revealed we were from outside the acceptable range. By coincidence the waitress's boyfriend has had rats before, and she was kind of thinking she'd like a pet rat, and they lived just a 15 minute walk away... When we leave the restaurant we walk her boyfriend to the car and turn the rat over to his new humans.<br />
<br />
And the food we ate was really good too.<br />
<br />
We then go off to the flea market. I only buy one comicbook. I do find some books. I am very curious about the Zane Grey book, I only knew of his westerns. He's got a jungle adventure too! This was in a pile with three Tarzan books. I have them in paperback, but these were old (1917 & 1927) hardcovers. No prices on them and they weren't under glass or wrapped in plastic, so I figure I'll ask how much. I expect something along the lines of the prices I normally see, but they're at less than a tenth of what I thought they'd be. At or below the price I would pay for Tarzan paperbacks! One of these has lots of wonderful illustrations by J Allen St. John!<br />
<br />
Carrie finds a number of interesting things, too, including pieces for a new prop she wants to build inspired by our photo shoot yesterday. And while at one vendor buying some goodies, the vendor turned to me and agreed on the low low counter offer I'd earlier made on the Phantom book he had.<br />

Next stop was at the Goodwill store where, instead of the usual one if I'm lucky work shirt find, I got a week's worth.<br />
<br />
If a black cat crosses your path it's bad luck. If a white rat crosses your path, it is apparently good luck.<br />

We got food from Sun Oriental Market and from Trader Joe's, we got comics from Casablanca, we got books from Green Hand, and I took a picture of a post office. But the main reason for the trip was to finally get to the gallery show at the Portland Public Library. The Pulps!<br />

Of special interest were the Tarzan paintings they had. Including J. Allen St. John! Some other known characters were also represented, including Doc Savage and The Shadow (who I had to explain to some people was one of the good guys.)<br />
