I went rummaging through the dusty boxes I had stored away and stumbled upon the faded stacks of my older creations.  It has been decades since I had seen some of these writings and drawings and wanted to bring them back out for the world to see!

I got married a couple years ago.  So needless to say, I am still in the throws of newlywed life. I am quickly learning how to share my life and living space with someone. Compromises and concessions have become a daily part of living … and it is pretty hard being a native Vermonter.

I had a minor epiphany a few weeks ago.  I am in a position of leadership at my work. I have a few employees that are always very frank and upfront with me. (I have come to really appreciate this quality). 

Our baby is now 13 months old and it has been a beautiful ride of long nights, mini panic attacks at hearing silence, and a series of impulsive laughter and contentment.

Is it possible to be impulsively content?  Yes.

There were a few hallmark moments over the past year that I need to put in haiku form.

Last Monday, I took a walk with Elizabeth. It was our normal route around the neighborhood. We first stopped by the playground. She had fun on the swings and sliding down the slide. Then we continued on our afternoon journey through the neighborhood.

As part of the rich and vast cultural expectations of my wife’s heritage, her mother was expected to come and live with us for a period of time slightly before and at a minimum of three months after our baby was born.

Personality quizzes are  a fun way to help readers identify themselves with the characters.  Over the last couple weeks I had the chance to research some Myers-Briggs-type questions and created answers that would connect to specific heroes in The Stag Gem series and the Tadman comics.

A few weeks ago while I was recovering from gallbladder surgery, I was doing a lot of research into how other creative sites update their stories and comic books.

Personally I am very thankful for all of the support and feedback I have received from all of you over the years.  When I first started this website, it was just to share the work I’ve done.  It has now grown into hundreds of pages of writing and thousands of images and illustrations.
