Great Game. Great Season. Can I buy my opening day tickets yet?
I just saw one of @affirmationcoyote.bsky.social's young kin trotting through the fields near my home. Now...my wife is Native American, so that's not necessarily a good omen. However, I have faith that Affirmation Coyote will always take care of me. Fingers crossed!
By the way...here's a follow up... I haven't seen a winning percentage like this outside of the Harlem Globetrotters!
My beloved Madison Night Mares won 35 and lost 7 last year for an amazing .833 winning percentage. No other team finished above .500 because of the 'Mares. Today is the last day of the 2026 regular season, and if they win they will IMPROVE on that record with a 36 and 6 (.857) Go 'Mares
You can strongly support someone for office even if you don't agree with all of their positions. I am totally locked in for @francescahongwi.bsky.social even though I totally reject her stand on Culvers Cheese Curds. Now, if I find out she doesn't support the Madison Night Mares...
Oh look, you can buy them ground up and in tubes! Kinda awful if you ask me. Hope this gets discontinued soon! @discontinuedfoods.bsky.social
Saba has two movie guys. One works in the biz and does amazing sci-fi stuff (like The Martian). The other is actually a movie gal, not a guy. She arranged a private theater screening of Jaws for my family over the 4th of July weekend. Popcorn was included. Guess who my favorite is?
My Dad is Dracula...and also a bad 1976 movie - Dracula and Son @mydadisdracula.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qzr4...

Almost talked my wife into letting me get a Maine Coon this morning...but she was too smart for me. It remains on my bucket list.

One of the best things in Rugby is the respect you must show the officials. If you don't...well... Argentina fly-half Tomás Albornoz is facing historic World Rugby misconduct charges after confronting a referee post-match in England. He's facing a 12- to 52-week global ban from the sport.

How can the GOP be obsessed with the (debunked) idea of dead people voting while actually having a dead person in the Senate?
My son and daughter are involved in a group promoting awareness of beer...in Wisconsin... Fish in a barrel.

I need to commission someone to create a 1" square pin for a group of Oktoberfest fans. They're looking for something like a medieval prayer book style (see below for style). It doesn't need to be super detailed as they're just a small group who march in parades. Interested or know someone?
Saba thinks you should go spend lots of money on Bruce's very entertaining products. Also, these tips work for artists too...just saying.
Hey, fellow old people, I can't help but think that Chevy Chase should be saying: This just in, Senator Mitch McConnell is STILL dead.
Artist! Quote with your blue art! Don't mind if I do!
I recently did some Traveller illustrations for @mongoosepublishing.bsky.social in the UK. Great people to work with. I noted that they published a boxed set version of the old GDW module "Bayern". This was the first full-length product I ever wrote.
This may be the hunkiest guy I've ever done! Wait. That came out wrong.
Some talented folks out there...real, honest humans with real honest skills.
3 comm slots are now open. Please get in contact via email if youre interested. Kindly share, it would really help me out. Thank you!
Son of a... I think one of my co-workers just did an elder check on me because of the heat and air quality...
I love @nobleknightgames.bsky.social and you should too. I placed an order this AM and, a few hours later, I received a tracking number and notification that it had shipped. They are my first choice for new AND old games. Give them money. Be happy. Here's what I ordered - It's a blast.

Just finished my first image for a new customer (@mongoosepublishing.bsky.social). I started my career as a creative by writing for GDW's Traveller. Now, decades later, I'm loving the chance to do some artwork for it. Special nod to @grahamtg.bsky.social - whose latest works are very inspiring!
"Artists, show us something epic!" You got it, Graham! I've always loved Heinlein's "Time for the Stars". An epic journey across time and space if ever there were one. So, here's a tip of the hat to it. #startrek #scifi #sabaart #heinlein
Artists, show us something epic! 🔥
Working with a new client in Europe and having a great time. Although I did just have to explain that, even though I'm an American, I'm not a gun lover. And it's somewhat telling that this isn't the first time I've had to do that...
