Once a month I allow myself a blog post where I not-so-subtly try and convince any readers to give my money through Patreon. Generally speaking I try and keep these posts to the 21st of the month in the dim hopes that next month when it is my birthday a few more readers will go … More May’s Patreon Plug
Tak wandered. It was an aimless wandering. He had never felt comfortable staying in one place for too long. Or so he told himself. That he had no home and no coin made the choice to wander that much easier. Two weeks ago he had been in a proper city that was just large enough … More The Pepper, Pt 1

I’m trying to read more this year. It’s been working out pretty well, especially for a guy that feels busy all the time and has a new baby. But, the thing is, the current book I’m reading has finally made it very clear that it will not fully win me over. It has been straddling … More Positive or Honest
Today our son turned four. Hard to believe that he is both so big and so little at the same time. Before picking him up from daycare we tried to spruce the apartment up a little bit with some decorations he’d like. The Mrs picked out all the supplies, but setting them up was a … More Happy Birthday Little Dude
Their dust swept into the lonely guard tower. He coughed and tried to tell himself the watering in his eyes was solely a result of the irritant.
