Friday started off pretty brutal, with rain and freezing rain. Brutal because it turned much of the snow to ice. While I do have ice picks on my canes, my feet aren't really all-terrain; they slip easily. So, I found myself walking very slowly just to cross a street... once. (I didn't leave the house for most of the day)
Friday night was the in-person deadline for issue 63 of Comicopia. My buddy-and-Central-Mailer Mike had already practically compiled all the newsletters already... we just had to get the last one from our friend/member Niall coming in from Ottawa specifically for that reason.
Ottawa is an unusual city in some ways: it's the Nation's Capital for us Canadians, but it's also less than 2 hours travel away. Niall frequently comes into Montreal by bus to meet people, taking a bus home around midnight. I guess it feels weird since Toronto is close to 8 hours of travel away...
We have a new member in Comicopia this issue; in itself, that's a great thing - but at the same time, the usual 'copia 'luck' struck: as one member joins us, one of the longer term members drops out from lack of activity. It always seems that when we get new members, an equal number of older ones drop out. Sigh
