Another year, another Apocalypse, it seems. People just generally seem to be in a hurry for the world to end. I’ve had an interesting fascination with it, too – not the world ending, it will end when it end. Instead, with…
For the last three or four years you can find me doing a “con” – the Great Plains Renaissance Festival. Now, the reason I do it is simple – I get booth space for free, and in exchange I run…

I’ve always wondered if I’d look good bald. For me, this is a very important subject – because I’m going bald anyway. I used to have very long, full hair with a high forehead. It was nice. I liked it.…
Now, it’s not a real manly thing to say ya’ cry. But, I’ve been known to do that on rare occasion. Someone quite randomly found a way to make me cry today. A little setup – it was a rough…
And I hope when I get old I don’t sit around thinking about it but I probably will Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture a little of the glory of, well time slips away and leaves you with nothing…
