I picked up Tarzan of the Apes by Edgar Rice Burroughs the other day. I’m really enjoying it. Except for all the troubling bits. I’m not finished so I don’t want to say too much. Just some of the descriptions of people would not fly in a modern book. I’ll see where it goes. Outside … More Reading Tarzan
It was a long, but good Friday. It was a full day of teaching and fathering. When my little guy passed out at 8:20 I was filled with joy.

Not going to be much today. Several long days of working and fathering has really worn me out. I’m generally a terrible sleeper and napping is out of the question. But today’s main event was a nap.

Admittedly some of the posts have been short and on a few occasions of sickness they could al oat be described as non-posts. But they were still new content. Yesterday there was none. And the … More Strike One!

They were the marauders and berserkers that ruled the plains. What few understood is the the tribes of Orcs were … More Pathfinder Character Sketch
I have been blessed. In my life there are three mothers. First is my own mother. Not only did she give me life but throughout my life she is constantly teaching me. She is a never ending source of strength and counsel. So much of who I am is owed to her. Despite living in … More Hugs to Mothers
Still feeling the ick sickness. Better, but still kind of knocked out. Yesterday I was in amazement over the Mrs’ resistance, but she succumbed as well this morning. Hopefully I’ll have something interesting to say tomorrow. For now, I’m going to go read comics until I fall asleep.
After writing about blog followers and view counts yesterday, I thought I might as well get it all out of my system and write something about using Facebook today. Because I’ve tried a few different things, and maybe my experiences can prove useful. But the last several hours of today have been abut pizza, beer … More Pizza, Beer and Nerdiness
