The planet is better for having you on it, pal!

Happy (Belated) Father's Day

I was huffing and puffing and moving boxes and furniture during last week and weekend, and had no internet service yet at the new place, so I'd like to take this moment to publicly wish my eighty-five year old dad a Happy Father's Day. He is seen here with his twin brother, Leslie, on their thirtieth birthday. That's my dad, Charles Wesley Powell, with the cool tie on the left.

Thanks for everything, Dad--you're the greatest!

Not even his beloved Nita Van Sloan can be trusted when everyone—including the Spider himself—may not be what they seem.
