A friend gave me the news Stan Lee passed away earlier today. While I haven't picked-up a comic book or attended a convention in quite a while, the news took me slam-bang back to the first time I met him at San Diego. I could almost see/feel/smell/hear everything about the con, all the books and the panels. It was surreal. He lived a full life and will be missed. My heart goes out to all his friends and family.

We were able to get out of work early, so I got home over an hour early! I'm probably going to waste the extra time, but that's okay!

Update- I did waste the extra time. I ended-up taking a really long bubble bath and listened to a podcast interview of Simon Pegg. I thought about things in general. Was sad for a bit, but then Gotham came in, looked-up at me over the edge of the tub and meowed.

Time to get my afternoon chores done.
