With Meredith and the “Hot Wheels” car I haven’t blogged much at all this year, because I’ve been busy writing — five different projects at various stages, none of which can be announced — and I’ve also been traveling, including to another fun Joliet Star Wars Day and a very successful All-Star Comic Con in Tysons Corners, Virginia.
