There is no such thing on earth as an uninteresting subject; the only thing that can exist is an uninterested person. - G.K. Chesterton
We had my nephew over to help plant our garden. This was the first time we’ve had him all to ourselves overnight. After planting tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and pumpkin, we spent the afternoon watching videos and playing. Our couch and armchair were ships. He was a pirate with his new plastic [...]
I’ve got a lot of work coming down the line for the summer. That’s a good thing, I’m not complaining. I don’t know that I can say officially what it all is yet but one bit of news that I CAN tell you is that GravyBoy issue 1 will be distributed to the major booksellers [...]
Maybe working out and mowing the lawn were a bit too much. I’m exhausted. Maybe it’s the fact that I’ve been at work every morning at 6:30, but honestly I really don’t mind. It gives me the rest of the afternoon to work on other things. Hey! Speaking of other things, this [...]

The interview is up.
This week I get to interview this man…
From this show…

This was the first morning that I’ve slept in in months.

And it did. [...]
After a week of winter trying to get in its last word, the afternoon was surprisingly mild and I thought that it might be nice to sit on the porch and read for a while after dinner. Though the sun was setting and the air was approaching that temperature that makes you uncertain whether [...]
Allow me to introduce the cast of characters. Elvis, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Spider-man. Where does this illustrious cast of players perform together? In last night’s dream. I know why Lewis and Tolkien showed up (I’m reading Lewis’ Surprised by Joy, which as I mentioned to someone today, has made [...]
The stress of the last two weeks came to a head this weekend. I think we’re all tired and irritable. I’ve decided to take it easy for a while, which means some things will slip through the cracks…but I can pick them up later. In the middle of the big things there [...]
I was interviewed, with Marty, about our webcomic.
