Friday 28th January 2000
*************************************************************
WELCOME
From the sun of Southern California this week, then back home to snow covered Maryland this week. We’ve had around 18 inches of snow here over the last few days. Getting around has been almost impossible and to cap it all this week’s comics shipments were late!
Still it’s given me a chance to catch up on unread back-issues, watch some movies and even a few episodes of BATMAN BEYOND I’d taped but not watched yet.
Have a great week
