- August 8th is a special day, the eighth day of the eighth month. I still remember the day 31 years ago when massive numbers of weddings were held in honor of the lucky day. Fifty years ago it was both the date four musicians were being photographed marching across a crosswalk. It is also the date I am making my 888th post to CBR (It is just after midnight here, but it is still August 8th in Hawaii so technically it is all good). My favorite hobby in the world my entire life practically has been comics, and just wanted to say I am so appreciative of this community. Thank you to the Mods for all the work you do behind the scenes to keep this awesome place humming. Thank you to all the members who post their thoughts and opinions on this site. Thank you to the Trolls for staying away in numbers! Thank you to those who have bought some of my comics, or to those who have even taken a peek. Thank you to Stan and Jack and Steve for building that great Marvel Universe that transformed comics and saved more than a few lives along the way. It blows my mind to see how your creations have come to life on the sliver screens and have changed the way millions look at comic books and comic book creations. It is so commonplace to see people wearing comic book shirts and merch now - I never could have imagined it.
Someday I may do a blog on this site, but in the meantime be certain that you are all appreciated for being part of this community.Tenzil

- Tenzil, congrats on your 888 posts! I agree with you that this is a fantastic community of comic book lovers.
By the way, 8/8 was also the 32nd wedding anniversary for me and the wife. We got married in 1987, and sometimes we bemoan that we didn't want an extra you so that it would have been 8/8/88. But we are in some good company nonetheless.

The first game at Wrigley Field with lights.
Of course, Mother Nature had other plans....
