Happy Headless Jesse Honey Day!

I'll have to think of a better name for it, but today's an important day for me. Most importantly, it's my wife's birthday. So even though you're not reading this: Happy Birthday, Honey!

It's also the anniversary of the day Bob Ford shot Jesse James in the back of the head.



We just watched The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford again a couple of nights ago and I was reminded of how inappropriate Casey Affleck's Best Supporting Actor nomination was. I understand why for political reasons they went after Supporting, but Best Actor would've been more appropriate. That was his movie.

It also reminded me that I really want to go to Defeat of Jesse James Days in Northfield this Fall.

Finally, it's the anniversary of Washington Irving's birth, which is serendipitous because I just got to the part in my novel where the Headless Horseman comes up. And I didn't even plan it that way.

To celebrate, enjoy some Horseman art by Frank Frazetta and Gil Kane.
