Almost a year … Oops.

It has been almost a year since my last blog post! Wow! That’s a long time. And far longer than I intended when I sat down to write a post, and decided I could do it a few days later instead of right then. Heh. Procrastination. Yup. Gets me every time.

Well, a lot has happened since that last post.

I have a daughter!

Little Abigail Rose is two months old now, and so beautiful. Being a dad is just so

Daniel’s Quotes

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisioned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
