I am back at work today.  It’s a strange feeling.  My brother and I agreed yesterday that it was time to go home – but we weren’t ready to leave the Arizona weather behind.  Thankfully, we got a day to get acclimated before the climate reverts to normal...

We are having so much fun here in Tucson.  It probably wasn’t the nicest thing I have ever done when I dropped that snake photo on you a couple of days ago – but that was fun, too.  I will share three images from our trip with you now, but the rest will have...

One leftover image from the Indianapolis show a couple of weekends ago – if you have read my musings for more than a year (hard to believe this blog is now two years old), you might remember this picture of a pay phone in the back of the building where the show is...

One of the nice things about the Indianapolis show comes when it’s all over, the booth is torn down, and the truck is packed – it only takes 2½ hours to get home.  And trust me, it’s nice to put the key in the lock at 9:00 p.m. and see a friendly face and a...

Welcome to the monsoon that is Indianapolis, Indiana.  The lead story on every newscast has to do with rain, flooding, or some variation of water.  And the scary part for me?  My house is only two hours away, and it’s doing the same thing there. ...

I sent out an e-mail to our list on Friday (12,000 addresses – you probably got it).  In it, I mentioned that the first six of the 45 new Spellbinders dies had arrived as scheduled in mid-February.  And I put pictures of five of the most popular preorders...

This didn’t fit into yesterday’s post, but it was too cool to simply ignore – and I wish one of these was nearer to my neck of the woods (I love gadgets and gizmos).  When I went to Schlotsky’s Deli in Atlanta with Alan and Sherry Scott and their friends Eric and...

My drive home from Clearwater was eventful, to say the least – but it was truly one of those “God is in control” situations that I need from time to time. Alan Scott is the Lead Pastor at Cumberland Community Church in Smyrna, Georgia (this is a rotten picture because...

I didn’t get my act together in time for this to go out with the feed on Valentine’s Day, but it still seems fitting to share it: This was Tweety Jill's reaction to the roses that her sweetie had delivered to her at the Clearwater show on Saturday . . .
