Tulips are blooming early due to the mild winter. Messes up the Tulip Festival later this month, but fortuitous timing for your visit. Enjoy.

There was a silver age Superman story I had in a digest where he loses his memory due to kryptonite shenanigans and is believed dead, and an amnesiac Clark Kent thinks he was selected to replace Superman and that it is the costume that gives him the powers he discovers he possesses.

I agree wholeheartedly. Making the trip from Ottawa to get to the path of totality was "totality" worth it.

The King of England lies dying and one of his sons has been exiled. A princess has vanished. Plague stalks the land and the Treasury has been plundered. NOW is the time for strange women lying in ponds to distribute swords to form the basis of government.

Nothing quite like watching what should be a quick fight between superheroes and giant spiders in the tunnels under the campaign city go rapidly downhill when the players roll a succession of natural 1s on various checks. 🎲 #GamerLife

It's the year of the dragon! 🐉 🎨 Quote repost with your dragon art Not quite a dragon, but Kelly the Dragon Princess, a character from a super-hero RPG campaign. She was a university student pulled into a magical dimension through a portal in a cursed dryer in a laundromat.

Condorman was a Disney film, so does that make it part of the MCU now?

If you'd gone in during noon hour today you would have at least had the entertainment that was Justin Trudeau doing Christmas shopping flanked by his security detail.

Based on my favorite book at the time it would probably be Donna Troy, or Starfire if I really wanted to make an impression. Retroactively, probably Barbara Gordon.
