On cold Northeastern Indiana nights as we sit in front of our blazing fireplace, my wife will occasionally ask me why I’m just staring into the fire. I always say, “because I know each one of those sticks of wood personally.” Every fall I tromp into the… Continue Reading “Woodstock”
…well, uhm, ok… so I have now finally, OFFICIALLY participated in a Comic-Con and it was… uhm… interesting… in a bunch of odd and peculiar ways… and I probably won’t be doing it again for a long, long time…

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away… I had completed my freshman year of college and needed a summer job.
