I've been a slob, a loafer of the first rank in ignoring this blog. And here I stand, on the brink of 20 years of continuous posts to a select audience. Nevertheless, I present a sampling of past July 4s (and a 5).

Happy New Year! Here is Halloween long ago, back when I still had a prostate.
On the Freakazoid! series, The Huntsman was noted for his inability to engage with crime due to a downturn in mayhem. As a change of pace, I wrote an episode where The Huntsman found a foe at last, but the studio had other plans.
Illness, depression, and various other distractions have served to diminish running. I have a 5k approaching in January and a half-marathon in February and aren't prepared for either. I will have to do what I can in the remaining time. This year has been rocky on the health front and it would be nice to start off '25 strong.

Hello,
Received a letter from Ticketmaster stating that some of my personal information may have been compromised by a hack.
Ticketmaster offered credit monitoring via a TransUnion company called Cyberscout.
I logged onto the www.mytrueidentity.com url listed in the letter. However, the website would not allow me to open an account. The website listed a number to call.
Calling the number, I was directed to a call center possibly in Mumbai or elsewhere in the Indian subcontinent. The person attempting to assist me spoke and understood English with some difficulty. For example, she was unaware that U.S. phone numbers are prefaced with an area code. After a number of attempts, I politely ended the call as we were unable to communicate.
Do you have any suggestions how I might obtain the credit monitoring services offered?
PS: I wasn't aware that I even had a Ticketmaster account. It must be prehistoric.
Here's Ticketmaster's response:
