Breakfast with Batman

We interrupt this vacation with this important Bat announcement. ...

So I'm on vacation in Santa Monica this week. This morning I sat 3 feet or so from Batman himself. No, not Christian Bale, but Michael Keaton, from Tim Burton's "Batman." He was having breakfast at Amelia's, the cafe next to our motel here on Main Street.

One of my first stops here, of course, was Hi De Ho Comics on Santa Monica Blvd. Not the nicest comic book shop I've been in, but filled to the rafters with cool stuff, and lots and lots of wooden boxes with back issues.
