On Monday, I lost my mum. It still doesn’t feel real as I write this. I loved her. Even though we didn't always see eye to eye on everything. But, I loved her. In May of 2019, she was rushed to the hospital with what she thought was a heart attack but turned out to …
How I Ended Up a Hockey Fan and How It Doesn’t Feel That Different
Yep. That's me. The one in the backward hat taking this photo. I'm sure you're wondering how I got there...which is the Washington Capitals Stanley Cup Parade and Rally weeks ago and why it's taken me so long to write this blog. Why it's taken so long to write this is the easy answer, so …

Good Bye 2017 and Good Riddance
2017 had to be what felt like the longest year I've ever been through. I was thinking about it the other day and literally, I realized that Sherlock Series 4 premiered at the beginning of 2017...I couldn't believe that when I realized it was true.

Reflections on “Hitman Run”
Six years ago I embarked on a very interesting project. Take 48 hours, a genre drawn from a hat, and a required prop, character and line of dialogue and see what comes out. This is the 48 Hour Film Project, an international competition to see how quickly filmmakers can race against the clock to make …
How Awesome Con Was Just That, Awesome
Last Saturday, which seems like a long time ago now, Geoff and I made our way downtown for Awesome Con. A new convention to the Maryland/DC area, we decided to give it a shot. I mean, I've driven fourteen hours to Georgia for a con in its first year (I'm looking at you 221BCon). I …
