It looks like I’ll actually manage to be around for a fair bit of Windycon, and will probably be able to make an appearance at Capricon also! Let me know if any of you are going too and know of anything not to be missed.<div class="im

    Hello, everyone! As I write this, I’m planning on attending a circus this evening with the family. I don’t have any objective measure of this, but I feel like there’s been a surge of traveling circuses since Covid.

    Hello everyone! Didn’t quite get Friday the 13th this time, but some goals are more about the process of reaching for them then the achievement itself. I’ll be going to the Printer’s Row book fair today with my wife, so if you see us, don’t just stare at a distance and wonder what that beautiful woman is doing with that unkempt ogre, come closer and say hello!<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!1bO5!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/h

    Hello everyone! Everything’s going beautifully. Job’s great. It’s amazing how different it feels when you’re in the right spot. The only tricky thing right now is my son being increasingly diabolical about guilt tripping me as I try to get out the door in the morning. “I need to go to work.” “I WANT TO GO TO WORK!” He’s a demon.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!9K_d!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media

    Hello everyone! It’s the Backlot Bash this week in beautiful downtown Skokie. I’m looking forward to a lovely weekend of carnival lights shining off of giant soap bubble floating through the air while bands from the nineties play their hit. The little guy might be technically big enough to ride on the rides, but we’ll see if he’s in the mood.One quick thing: I have a new Substack! It’s about superhero comics, which might or might not be everyone’s jam, so it’s going to be it’s own thing separate
