When in Rome
A hard drive crash left me heartbroken that I'd lost these shots. Fortunately I'd already uploaded them to Flikr as a backup and forgotten. Anyway, I usually have a billion words for the places I go, but this time I feel like the pictures speak for themselves. It was...
The Morning Sun
My nerd roots run deep. I was a video gaming, comic book reading, fantasy fan way before it was cool. Sometimes those proclivities collide with my love affair with travel. Romania. Everything I know about the country, I know from Castlevania. It was one of my...
Roll With It

Games We Aren’t Playing
