Comic News
I have comic news. And its not news about the AB:VH comic.
As I’ve traveled around the world for the past few years, helping my beautiful wife, I’ve been asked by people when I was going to write something. "I’m working on it." was my usual reply, quickly followed by a "I’ll let you know when it’s published." Then in 2007, I received my first writing credit, in the 1st collection of the Guilty Pleasures Comic. I co-scripted the bonus story "Vampire Victim" that is in the back. Later in ’07, I co-scripted the prequel story "The First Death", and… Read More

Why Goths should avoid the Sun
I’m sitting at my desk in my black high-heeled boots, skin tight jeans tucked into them, and the little black t-shirt with it’s slightly threatening slogan on it. One thing ruins the Goth look; the sunburn. It’s sort of another souvenir from Florida. We both burned through 70 SPF sunscreen. Of course, maybe it was that seven hours on the open water with 30 mile an hour wind gusts that did the sunscreen in. Rule from now on, reapply spackling every four hours regardless of how much sun, shade, or whatever, because sunlight bounces off of water and hits you… Read More

Gone Fishing part Two
More fishing. First the hammerhead shark pup I caught and released was a bonnethead shark, which is a subspecies of hammerhead. Also from the shape of the head it was a girl. For the fans who wrote in and said they liked to eat hammerhead shark, but it was a lot of work to clean: I’ve never tasted shark where I was happy. Maybe I’ve never had it cooked correctly, but I also don’t like swordfish, so maybe I just don’t like that much beef on my fish. Besides, I’d rather have released the pup and let it grow then… Read More

Gone Fishing
I feel like I should just hang a sign on the blog that reads, "Gone Fishing." We’ve been deep sea fishing. It hasn’t been perfect weather for it, too windy, but even less than perfect is still fun. A lot of things were a repeat from last year; Trinity caught the first fish, Grandpa caught the biggest one, they also caught the most between them. Trinity has always understood the zen of fishing much better than I. Jon caught less fish than last year, and I caught one more. I actually landed a fish none of us had ever caught… Read More

Everglades
In college I had a chance to go with my fellow biology students to the Everglades. Before I married, I could have gone, but marrying in college, having to pay rent, buy food, and all those grown-up expenses ate that extra money, so I had to take a pass. I got to sit and listen to the other students talk about all the new birds they saw, and all the adventures they had in Florida. I was having my own adventures as a newlywed, part time employee, and full time student, but it was the stuff of television sitcoms without… Read More

From a plane
The plane started to taxi and for a moment I couldn’t remember where we were. I couldn’t remember if we were coming or going from home. I just blanked. Maybe it’s a sign that we’ve traveled a wee bit too much this month. But what trip would I have given up? England and business; no. Seeing Wendi and Daven and friends; uh, no. The family vacation with Trinity, Jon’s parents, and us; can’t skip that. So, I sit here typing on the plane and actually calm. I was hoping that if we started going places voluntarily and for pleasant reasons… Read More
