Close, I was thinking Veteran's Day.

But I think "talk like a pirate day" is a fun holiday too.

I wonder if any one celebrates Star Wars Day? May the 4th be with you.

Right now I think I'd rather just make it a novelization than a comic at this point. But depending on the success of the story, I might consider a comic adaptation. Drawing out panels and putting in word bubbles (which the word bubbles part I'm just not that great at. I might need the right programs...

If war is so commonplace and a necessary to keep society afloat, then what of peace? Why doesn't society value peace more? I suppose the obvious answer is money. War generates profit, but at what expense? It seems money is more valuable than human life. Sad but true. I feel like a good utopian socie...

Yeah I agree on the sour cream thing. It's much better on a regular ol' potato than a sweet potato or a yam. I'd rather have butter, maybe some brown sugar on it since it lends itself to a sweet taste. Regular potatoes are more savory. My step dad was a big fan of yukon gold potatoes. They're kind o...

I'm actually looking forward to summer this year.
Now I know, Fall is wonderful don't get me wrong.
Buuut when you work for a school district and get summers off...^^;

Good genes and large families make for great histories. Definitely agree there. I enjoy learning about family histories. :) Well, as I've said, my maternal grandfather was born in 1875, and that's pretty mind-blowing for me, too, even though I know I'm older than you. But in the South, we still thi...

A neat gift indeed! Though as far as true to type goes, I'm honestly not sure. I know it's tricky with apples because the seeds are pretty random as far as what kind of apple will sprout...will it be sweet, sour, big or tiny? It's hard to say. But I don't know much about lemons or citrus fruit. All ...

Walpurgisnacht huh? I think I've seen that mentioned in other threads. I don't know much about it. Isn't it the other holiday that's supposed to have a deep connection with the spirit world and life and death? I guess I'll have to dig around and do some research on it. I don't know much about it. I ...

I haven't completely plotted out my garden yet. I'll probably end up breaking down and growing some kind of pumpkins. I tried starting tomatoes and peppers early and the wind took out my green house. But thankfully the plants at the plant sale weren't too expensive. I also re-assembled the green hou...

My daughter has one novel she wrote in high school and early college, then completely revised after college. So far she has not sought to publish it. But most of her writing is plays (theater major), and publication for that means mounting the plays. She's gone so far as to have a table reading for...

Indeed it really is. There's so many venues out there now for publishing, including amazon and lulu. It's challenging trying to break into the traditional publishing market, and plus I hear they end up owning the rights to some of your published content. I suppose if you aren't THAT attached to your...

No cosplaying here, but we did wear some cool tee shirts. Honestly it was a bit of a spur of the moment thing since the SRO (School Resource Officer) I work with was talking about it during "car duty." Every morning we have to make sure the kids cross safely into the school building, and b...

Well, I'm popping in now to say hello! I'll probably be more active in the summer and fall. Summer because I'll be off work, and fall for obvious reasons. Not like a certain holiday comes around the corner or anything that we get excited about.

Oh yeah, the convention was a ton of fun! So far it's been one of the biggest highlights of the year. Speaking of which, I can't believe it's flying by so fast already. I'm REALLY looking forward to summer though. I'm taking a couple months off instead of working this year to get some projects done ...
