Michael D Hamersky On Comics Mentions That Today...   Is His Birthday... And He Is Off To The Races!

TODAY'S FEATURE IS BLOG #3911 -     That's right!  Today is my Birthday!

And my thanks to all of you that have already posted a 'Happy Birthday' wish to me at my Facebook Personal Page! 

Funny thing is... I was getting used to celebrating my Birthday at the Comic-Con International: San Diego the last several years, 2008 - 2009 - 2010 - 2011, as the SDCC took place during my Big Day! But this year and last year the Comic-Con took place close but a few days different from my Birthday...

Oh well, I did have a lot of fun at the 2013 Comic-Con, as I mentioned in Monday's Blog #3908.  I always have fun there, as I get to meet comic book creators such as Jose Delbo for the first time. (See top right photo for a photo of him and me this year!)

I've come a long ways since the 1952 year, (see my 1st Christmas in the top left photo), and have a lot to remember and appreciate...

I do appreciate being still alive... We lost Richard Alf last year, (co-founder of the San Diego Comic Con in 1970), who was only 59 when he passed away, just a few days short of being 60 years of age... His passing affected me for several months.

Since I won't be celebrating at the Comic-Con this year for my Birthday, my wife and youngest son are treating me to a 'Day at the Races' at the Del Mar Racetrack!  My youngest son has never been to the races, so it will be an exciting day to introduce him to this sport.  

Besides having half price beer & hot dogs today, (It's Wednesday / Diamond Club day), I'll probably end up a buffet at the end of the day.  I've got my mind on a certain Asian Buffet in Vista... But we'll see how many hot dogs I consume first today, LOL!

Oh, and if you are thinking what could Michael want for his Birthday... Well, I'd appreciate it if you would 'Like' my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics, and let your Facebook Friends know about it also!

Anyways, this is just a brief respite from my blogging on the 2013 Comic-Con International which ended this past Sunday... I'll be back with more from the SDCC after coming back from The Races!

Oh... And in 2014 I should be able to continue celebrating at the Comic-Con International... As it starts on July 24th!  That is... If I'm lucky enough to be able to purchase a ticket online before it sells out!  The 2013 Comic-Con sold out online in 93 minutes!
