This would indeed be a perfect time to be on spring break in some more temperate climes. Its is brutally cold with the wind chill this morning. I had a fitful nights sleeping exercise, awoke several times throughout the night and finally succumbed to wakefulness at 5:00 this morning. After doing my mornings duties I took Charlie out to do his, I had a hoodie on and had to pull the draw strings tight to keep the whipping wind from chilling me like a danish ham. I don't get the sleep problems? Well I often get the sleep problems, what I mean is I don't understand why I failed to find restful repose last night because I've had a couple of restless nights prior, and expected to sleep the sleep of the dead.
Yesterday after work Phil, Rita and I went the newly opened "American Super Heroes Museum" at 20 W.
Louisiana St. behind the Red Eye and about 150 feet from the store. It was interesting to see all the memorabilia from the 30's to today on Superman and Batman, and Dane Nash the owner, tells us that he only has 70% of his Superman stuff in place right now, and even less of his Batman stuff out. Dane also told us that soon there will be a "Grand event" with a Batmobile, and the Batboat coming to the museum for permanent residence. The streets will be blocked and the Car and Boat actually have to be brought in through the windows out front because they wont fit through the doors. We saw the Bat Cave in the process of being painted and have vowed to return to the scene of the crime when the caped crusader's conveyances are inshrined. It was a fun journey, and well worth the $5 pittance but I was hoping for some of Stan Lee's Marvel magic too, as I am a far bigger fan of those comics than the DC stuff, still I will return from time to time as the collection grows and the attractions are added.
