Greetings all. Just got back from Wizard World Portland. Had a great weekend in spite of a couple of hiccups in things beyond my control. Bounced back and rocked it. Got to see some pals, including a buddy I haven't seen in at least twenty years, and made…
This is going to be a long one. It started out as a response in a discussion on Facebook, and then I realized that it was much bigger than I first realized. As I worked on it, I saw more stuff going on in other posts I’d made that…
