Writings, photos and gently curmudgeonly comments from Gary Sassaman
Recently I was having a “shower moment;” you know, some fantasy of a past or future moment where you imagine some event that you’re involved in, something where you’re erudite and articulate and people are hanging on your every word. I think most people have these moments in the shower, when they’re imagining what they... Continue Reading →
Tonight's sunset.
" ... and there comes a time when that which I write must belong to me, has to be written alone and in silence, with no one looking over my shoulder, no one telling me a better way to write it. It doesn't have to be great writing, it doesn't even have to be terribly... Continue Reading →
I’ve been dropping a number of hints over the past few months on this blog and on my Instagram account (@gg92118) about an impending big change in my life in 2021 … and now it can finally be revealed. After more than 20 years (2 decades!) with Comic-Con International: San Diego, I’m retiring. Comic-Con was... Continue Reading →
I've recently relaunched this blog to focus a little bit more on writing. Previously it was more of a showcase for my photos and that will still be the case. Just about every photo or image you see on this blog will be of my creation, unless otherwise noted. One thing I hope to do... Continue Reading →

I love writing. I love the... Continue Reading →
This is day #62 of Quarantine. I call It “quarantine,” but it’s really stay at home. I’m not sick (beyond a nagging cough because ONE OF MY STUPID F*CKING NEIGHBORS KEEPS SMOKING AND IT ALL ENDS UP IN MY PLACE, but I don’t hate them … not yet), so quarantine is an incorrect term. It’s... Continue Reading →
This is day #38 of Quarantine. I escaped yesterday into a semblance of my previous life. I drove the car across the big bridge (something I haven’t done in about 10 days), and over to San Diego’s Sports Arena area, which is named after a big, antiquated facility more famous for the swap meet that...

Everything old is new again. Last week, I sent a letter to a dear friend. I don’t think I’ve written an actual letter to anyone in years. And today I’m writing something for my blog, which is almost exclusively a place where I post photos. But years ago I blogged incessantly, almost daily, ad infinitum,... Continue Reading →
I am currently taking a break from this blog. It is one of my fondest wishes that at some point, in the near future, I can devote more time to writing and photo-posting here, but right now that's just not possible. For those of you nice enough to follow me, thank you for your attention.... Continue Reading →
