I’m not really into the whole sword and sorcery/fantasy stuff. You may have thought I was because of the sci-fi, time travel and superhero stuff but no, that ain’t my thing. Crazy ass names I can never pronounce or remember (one of the many reasons I wasn’t into Game of Thrones), goofy wizards and magicContinue reading “Now, if I *DID* play D and D…”

In the mid ’80’s, Linda and I went to some family cottage off a lake with another couple, Judy and Bob. It was a fun weekend and a good time was had by all, although I vaguely recall almost getting us killed at a country bar by constantly yelling “Yeeehaaaaa!” whilst in my cups. DrunkenContinue reading “Man of infrequent action- Water sports (Tubing Edition)”

There were seven of us guys who decided to all pitch in and rent a jeep for the day to go explore the island of Oahu. Full disclosure, I can’t remember the names of any of the guys — this being a class trip, we were all kind of thrown together–but we were clearly anxiousContinue reading “Hawaii 1980 part four”

I’m not sure if I’m posting my “Man of Infrequent Action” series before or after this but it certainly applies.  The days were for excursions and we decided to rent some mopeds and scoot around Oahu, specifically for a few of us–Diamond head, the inactive volcano. It took some adjustment, getting the hang of theContinue reading “Hawaii 1980 part three”

First, the fun. Of the some four or five days we were in Hawaii, while daytime consisted of outdoor excursions and sight seeing, the nights were celebrations. The biggest event was a giant luau for several tour groups, including the class. It had all the touristy stuff, with the dancers, flame sticks, singers — wasContinue reading “Hawaii 1980, part two”

So senior year at Alan B. Shepard high school, we had the pretty amazing opportunity  to go to Hawaii for our senior trip. In a surprising move, I opted to go. With the cool kids, even though I wasn’t one of them. To their credit though, they were not only the cool kids via popularity butContinue reading “Hawaii. 1980. Part One”

Sometimes, you come across an amazing achievement. I’ve been a Star Trek since the ’60’s and enjoyed the latter day spinoffs to varying degrees but there is a charm and brilliance about The Original Series which has been tough to match. The writing, the characters, the acting set a certain benchmark in sci-fi television. AndContinue reading “YouTube Rabbit Hole: Star Trek Continues”

I’m neither rich, famous or well known. So, if I desperately wanted to get a comic produced that I did, I’d have a few choices.  Organize production myself, work with Diamond distributors and a print, plus digital storefronts. I’ve done this a lot in the past. Contact an existing comic company, publicize and print yourContinue reading “Let The Crowd Pay For It!”

This shouldn’t take long. This may have been late ’80’s or early ’90’s. Linda and I went snorkeling once. The thought was that you could paddle around just off the beach and I could reach down and touch the ground as I go, while I could see stuff underwater. I had my snorkel head gear,Continue reading “Man Of Infrequent Action- snorkeling”

You ever have a situation where you’re committed to spending a few hours with people you really don’t know–and don’t *want* to know, for various reasons? I’ve had a few situations like that over the years. They’re not even your acquaintances, but someone else’s. You go, you do your time, you pretend you’re interested inContinue reading “I’m slightly exhausted”
