Want to See Ireland, Scotland or even Italy with Me?
My mom moved to Italy in 1985. I fell in love with Europe on my first trip to visit her. It was like LIVE Dungeons & Dragons for me. However, it was not until 2007 that I finally went to Ireland with the Brobdingnagian Bards. We rode on a giant tour bus. It was an […]
2019 Promotion Plan… In Review
It was a good year. But you wouldn’t guess so considering the number of goals I failed to reach. I had poorly laid out plans. And bad goals. This year, I said I’d do less on social media, I’d blog more, and I would relaunch the Pub Songs Podcast. I did less on social at […]

In the ‘Verse #9: Ariel
The first 40 minutes of “Ariel” make this seem like the most generically, palatable episode of Firefly. It’s a fun but simple heist episode. Then comes the twist. The ending gives us a deeper look at what motivates and drives the characters of Malcolm Reynolds and Jayne. We talk about keelhauling a crew member and […]
