First: I bought my new tea kettle (gave up finding a Revere but found a lovely whistling Calphalon for the right price).
Second: I'm hobbling around in a soft "boot" as of yesterday when I finally went to the podiatrist (with pain I've had at least for four months--between the toes and ball of my left foot). Xrays were taken. Not a fracture (luckily). The doc thinks it might be a torn ligament. MRI Saturday 8am which was the only time before they could schedule me before I leave Monday for LA. Yes the boot is really inconvenient/difficult for getting up and down stairs. Down is worse than up. And I can't go to Newark airport by the airtrain...too much walking. I'll be taking a bus from 34th street which should take me right to the terminal I need and then will ask for a wheelchair to the gate. I think going down my two flights with luggage will be far easier if I just go barefoot (or in flip flops) and then put the boot on when I get to the bottom..Adventures in flying and traveling tk.
Third and most important: I've been honored with HWA's Life Achievement Award:
DATLOW, FELDSTEIN WIN LIFETIME HORROR AWARD, making me a very thrilled and happy camper. My only regret is that I won't be able to meet Mr. Feldstein, who has had far more and longer influence on the field of horror than I'll ever have. His health won't allow him to be at the Stoker weekend but I'd love to shake his hand in thanks for his contributions to EC Comics and MAD (my favorite mag at one time)
