I can smell what you're thinking.

About Me

I edit comic books.And yes it is the "dream job" you imagine it to be. It's like working at a more adult version of Willy Wonka's factory -- where every day is filled with fun, surprises, adventure, and inappropriate touching.

My Interests

comics, beer (making and drinking, but more drinking than making), Sheila and Harris, trying to make Amy laugh, my scooter, insect rescue and relocation, concrete, bamboo, the granting of hobo names to friends and strangers, video games, sitting, breathing, sitting and breathing, Bigfoot, Germany, paranormal research, paranormal skepticism, preaching about the evils of high-fructose corn syrup, monsterism, mistaking indigestion for symptoms of a heart attack, peanut sauce, home destruction, home repair, sleeping, making sure the hummingbirds have enough to eat, and trying to get rid of all the plastic in my life...

I'd like to meet:

Bigfoot. Or a baby panda. Or better yet, Bigfoot holding a baby panda. Or someone who could arrange that meeting...

Movies:

Last good one -- There Will Be Blood

Television:

John Adams was good. And I like Kitchen Nightmares -- the UK version, not that piece of crap on FOX.

Books:

The last five: 1491, The World Without Us, The Road, The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching, Blood Meridian: Or the Evening Redness in the West.

Heroes:

People still have heroes?
