I Survived Survivor (Or, A Lesson In Friendship)
I know what you’re thinking. How could you possibly survive a game that you’ve never been on or even seen an episode of? Funny story… buckle up. It’s a lot of a long story… almost a decade and a half long… For the past 13 years (so basically my entire adult life), I’ve been following…

Good Things Come To The Persistent
This is a longer story post. Get ready for a ride. 😉 I love Planet Comicon. Anybody who’s spent more than 5 minutes with me will automatically know that. Even if there’s not one celebrity there that I want to meet, I still go, just to be a part of it all. This year however,…

Endings Bring New Beginnings
This weekend I am on the last Christmas/New Year’s, help-people-with-their-dogs adventure for at least two weeks. I promise I really did quit dog-sitting as a business.

Last weekend, my friend Rachel sold her books at SantaCaliGon Days in Independence, Missouri, and I volunteered to be the main helper. It was one of the worst weekends to sell books weather-wise, but…

Enjoy The Queue
This weekend my friend Rachel and I are in Chicago at FanExpo selling (or trying to sell) her books. The fun thing about this particular “company” of conventions is that if you are an “Exhibitor” you get a free pass to anywhere in the building, basically. Erica has taken full advantage of that feeling of…

The “Age Old” Question
A conversation I had with a friend earlier today prompted this blog, so we’ll see if I can remain on task. A lot of people in the Christian “world” struggle with what is acceptable to expose their children to and at what age would a thing be appropriate. For instance, (hot button topic incoming)Harry Potter.…
