    Today I received one of the most awesome gifts I've ever received:  a trip to GenCon!  No kidding!  I'm excited, and honoured, that Steve and Troy decided to make me the beneficiary of the tickets they had intended to be for Jackson.  I know he always enjoyed GenCon Milwaukee.  So much so that he, Steve, and some of the others used to always try talking the rest of us into going.  Monte ended up hating it because of the incidental costs of being there for a week.  Wayne disliked it, too, but its been so long I don't recall why. 

     

    So, because I'm still a little stunned, I don't really have much else to say.  If you want, read A Hero A Day Keeps the Turco Away.  It's a good exploration of the superhero movie genre.  Have a great weekend everyone!

     

    "The essence of all pantheism, evolutionism, and modern cosmic religion is really in this proposition:  that Nature is our mother.  Unfortunately, if you regard Nature as a mother, you discover she is a step-mother.  The main point of Christianity was this:  that Nature is not our mother:  Nature is our sister.  We can be proud of her beauty, since we have the same father;  but she has no authority over us;  we have to admire, but not to imitate." ~G.K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy
