The Offspring.


(If you know the show we can be friends...if you don't we can be friends, but you got to get on watching this man!!!)


Being a parent is so rewarding. Being an uncle or aunt is similar as well. One of the best things about having that little person in your life is at some point you get to share all your nerdiness with them.

There are many things that are age gated. Like comics, as a collector I couldn't hand my five-year-olds some of my comics to read for fear they would be a crumpled mess by the end of the experience. But as they have gotten older I have been able to share that with them.

I recently sat down and watched all the seasons of Buffy with my 13-year-old daughter. It was awesome sharing that experience with her. 

I can't wait for my youngest to get a bit older so I can read the Potter series to him. 

I just got to introduce my middle child to Brandon Sanderson. 

These are things that have stuck with me and that brings me joy when I can share them with those I love. 

As I write on my third book today I can only hope to write something that one day is the subject of one of these types of encounters. 

Anyway, these are some of my thoughts today. I hope everyone is well and as always, have fun and keep writing. 

Oh yeah and since I mentioned her and she finally made it into a blog cartoon, I figured I would post a picture of my beautiful oldest child.

  1. She's a beautiful young lady!
    And if you've turned her on to Firefly, then you are awesome.
    My cousin is a total geek and so are both his kids. It's really cool.

  2. Guess I am not awesome, I don't know what show you are referring to. I don't watch much TV anyway I'm afraid. Yes, your daughter is a beautiful young lady, you must be very proud of her.

    1. Nah you are still awesome. The show is Firefly. It is a fox show that got canceled after one season and now all the fans have to live with an okay movie version and a ton of what-ifs.

  3. Any parent who turns their kid on to Firefly is doing well, in my book!

  5. After seeing your comment above, I know why I didn't know what show you were referring to. I never watched Firefly but I did like Serenity. One day I WILL watch Firefly!

    Your daughter is very beautiful! Great picture. :)

    1. It is one of those things that I always tell people to watch because I love it, but then I feel bad about them falling in love and only getting 1 season.
