Sandy is rolling up to my doorstep, and the winds are starting to push the trees around. If I knew how to batten hatches, I would be doing so at this point. We’ll not have a new post today and will return on Thursday, but reader Joseph did share a piece of art in the comments section of our previous post to which I’d like to draw more attention:
My best wishes to the Lady Sabre crew while tackling these hurdles. As a fun aside for the delays, here’s a pic of the beautiful Lady Sabre sketch (I shudder to even call it a “sketch”) that Rick brought for me to NYCC earlier this month. I was incredibly fortunate to be able to meet Eric and Rick while at the show as I couldn’t make it to the planned dinner. Somehow we managed to call each other at the times that we were not in the ZERO cell reception areas! As I’m sure you all know already, they are two of the most fine and upstanding gentlemen I have ever met and hope to be able to cross paths with them again soon.
Enjoy the piece and to steal Greg’s line, “Hold Fast!”
Stay safe Eric!
Darn nice work you do, Mr. Joseph!
My mistake, I thought Joseph did the picture! #noeditoption
We’re battening down here–out on LI myself.
Which thread or comment for the art work? I don’t notice it.

Thank you for the spotlight Eric. My wife and I are trying to finish up Breaking Bad Season 2 as the lights are flickering. I told her it serves us right for being so late to the party on BB
My apologies for not getting a proper scan of Rick’s piece as the scanner at work was too small. Although it looks great on the site! I’m glad everyone can check it out.
And of course I can’t say thank you to Rick enough.
Beautiful artwork. Thank you for sharing it Joseph.
And thoughts and prayers for all the best to everyone in the ongoing storm and its aftermath.
Awesome artwork! Somehow I couldn’t see it before.
Eric, you doing ok? I’m on LI myself–and some areas around here got flattened.
I’m upstate and we are so OK here, that I feel bad for even worrying. The storm turned a little sooner than expected, and we were completely spared. They’d been predicting 75mph winds here, and we only got up to 40, which pushed the trees around, but didn’t snap any of them (this was my biggest fear — we have large, old, partially dead trees all around our house and driveway). Having grown up in North Carolina and gone through a few big ones, hurricanes make me panicky.
I’m thankful that we were missed, but we have friends on Staten that were hit pretty hard and are dealing with a lot of flood damage. I hope Sandy missed you and the rest of our readers as well.
We’re good, thanks. Enough spice to make it an adventure, power and internet back fast enough to keep it from being a hardship.
