Peter David's Blog, page 143

Since Peter is off working across the country

Including a stop at San Diego.
I figured I would do another installment of ASK THE WIFE AND DAUGHTERS
So you can ask us questions but, like last time, I am limited the topic to conventions and Disney theme parks.
So ask away.

Pass the Word on Susan Ellison is Home not in London

Kathleen typing for Peter who is off on a business trip
This morning Peter got an e-mail that seemed to come from Susan Ellison telling a tale of woe about being mugged in London.

My travel journal, composed at my desk in Bucharest, Romania (for those of you who hate reading travelogues—tough).

May 7/8, 1993 – Three hours before I'm scheduled for fly to Romania—to watch the filming of Trancers IV/V, which I wrote—I still haven't packed anything. Clothes, [...:]

Six months

That's how long Doctor Faust (you have to love that name) says it's going to be before I have all my strength back. I saw him today to have the stitches removed, which only hurt moderately since my skin was trying to bond with it. I also got back my MRIs and am [...:]

Shore Leave

We're back from Shore Leave, which was my first lengthy outing since the surgery. My stamina isn't up to par yet; when Kath tried to wake me from a nap Saturday afternoon to tell me I had a panel in ten minutes, I just growled at her and went back to sleep. So [...:]

Previous installments: Part 1 – Part 2 – Part 3
Well, I tried.
I had a really good story for "Useless Stories" to run, but I've gone through my files and I can't find the blasted thing. It's around here somewhere.
For those who came in late: I'm [...:]

The WACKO Theory

Originally published June 4, 1993, in Comics Buyer's Guide #1020
I haven't seriously annoyed bunches of people in a while, I think. Since I don't dare allow matters in BID to become too complacent, something must be done. Let us see now, what can I possibly talk about that will honk people off.
I know…

Something fun [...:]

Thanks to everyone

First of all, thanks to all of you for the kind words and well-wishing you've extended thus far. I have continued to improve exponentially; I feel so much better one day than I did the day before that it's amazing to chart the progress. At this point I'm reduced to feeling some mild [...:]
