I’m a happily married father of seven. I combat bad web design by day, and poopy diapers, dirty dishes, hungry children, and other stuff by night. Thankfully, I have a beautiful wife who makes it all worth it. Oh, and the kids. Yeah, they’re adorable.
The Way of Kings
The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson My rating: 4 of 5 stars Brandon Sanderson doesn’t disappoint with his first installment of his own epic fantasy series. He proves yet again that he can build a world from the ground up with original races, magic powers, mythology, history, and anything else needed for a living, [...]
Doc Savage: The Desert Demons
Doc Savage: The Desert Demons by Kenneth Robeson My rating: 1 of 5 stars This book was such a disappointment. I love pulp. I read and re-read many books from many of the authors that wrote “back in the day.” And while I was excited to see a possible resurgence of Doc Savage stories, I [...]
Down the Rabbit Hole
Wonderland No More is a recently released Savage Worlds setting from the brain trust that is Triple Ace Games. A lot can be said of the fun that comes from playing Chessmen, Cards, Animals, Plants and anything else you may want to imagine. And with that in mind, I grabbed the intro adventure of Egg [...]
I’m an (oxy)moron!
I’m a writer, who apparently doesn’t like to write. Seriously! I’ve been calling myself a writer, or potential writer, for years now. Stories have been swimming around in my head, prodding me to put them to paper,1 but I just can’t/don’t make the time to sit down, call up my trusty text editor,2 and get [...]
Flying just isn’t the same…
Recently, I had the occasion to hop a plane to destinations far away. And I couldn’t help but notice how much the world has changed in the last twenty years. Why twenty years? Because at the tender age of 19, I hopped my first jet. And I couldn’t help but notice the differences that there [...]
Skiing is AWESOME!
Sometime near the beginning of the fall in 2010, my wife pointed out an email she had received, in which a local homeschooling group was putting together a “Snow Fun” group at our local ski resort, Alpine Valley. I thought maybe she had finally gone off the cliff. “You… want me to… ski?” I had [...]
Hello, 2011! Nice to finally meet you…
I woke up this morning with a rather odd feeling that something was different. I couldn’t have told you then nor can I tell you now exactly what it was that wended its way through my heart and mind. Was it simply that I didn’t get much sleep, due to a slamming night of games [...]
A Random Blog Post
It’s dark outside, which in Ohio at this time of year means that we’ve passed the three o’clock hour somewhere. And that’s when I realize that I’m about to let another day draw to an end without the daily blog post. Ach! Time to pull out the ‘puter and bang on it for a few [...]
A Week’s Not Bad… Is It?
I think the hardest part about making blog posts is just figuring out what I want my blog to be. Do I want it to be a journal, where I record happenings of my life? Or do I want it to be a collation of reviews, sharing what I like/dislike about games, books, movies and [...]
To Commit or To Be Committed
November has arrived! What does this mean for the Goose and the Gaggle? Quite a bit, actually. 1. National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). It’s the month when folks get together, both virtually and physically, to slam out 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s been done before, though not by me. I’ve attempted it before, both [...]
