"The history of comic-book culture, much like the history of any culture, is something between a treadmill and a conveyer belt: we dutifully trudge along, and the belt carries us with it into one new territory...isn't like that.

Ez is doing great, getting more relaxed and able (well, focusing on stuff and swatting at toys with a purpose!) Glad she spent some quality time with my parents over the holiday
