What the Boss Likes – Gen Con 2016 and our adventures in cosplay, part 3

Here I am back with my costume. This painting was much more of a challenge. The most peculiar part is the pauldrons on the outside of the coat. There are a couple of ways one can interpret the painting. 1. There is a coat and there are indeed pauldrons on the outside of it (the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Gen Con 2016 and our adventures in cosplay, part 3

What the Boss Likes – Gen Con 2016 and our adventures in cosplay – part 2

At most science fiction and fantasy based conventions, there is cosplay popping up. This is at its simplest, recreating a costume of a favored character and wearing it around.

Though that … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – something from the kitchen and a new winery/brewery

What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016

We are back from the Reason Rally 2016 which was June 4th.    The weather wasn't looking to promising as we drove down from Harrisburg, low clouds and drizzle, and I was dreading another repeat of 2012.  But once we got there the sky lifted with high clouds, and later in the day, the sun peaked out. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016

From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie

I have now been on this planet for 50 years.   I really wish I had been on some other planet during this time but alas technology has not cooperated.

This was an extra treat since … Continue reading From the Bar – a few Belgian ales and a movie

Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it

The Christian god has had a rough couple of weeks in here in the US. Its hand picked candidates who were told that they would win the presidency have dropped out, leaving more handpicked ones behind. Santorum, Huckabee, Fiorina, etc were such fantastic examples of lying Christians, I’m sorry to see them leave. And, then, … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it
