Nooooooooo!  My Snow Monkeys appear to be facing imminent defeat heading into tonight's final game.  My studs - Tyreek, Henry, Jacobs, and the…

Admittedly not one of my more prolific reading years.  When all is said and done, I'll have read a little over 190 books, a good two-thirds of them graphic novels.  "Not bad,"you may think but, in comparison to other years, this one was a bit of a letdown.  Still, I did manage to discover a…

This afternoon, I sat down with Gateworld's David Read to talk about Stargate SG-1's sixth season.  Ended up unearthing some stories I'd completely forgotten until today... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HW8a3ukaSaA A little Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1340300056289787904 Today - Akemi: Alexa, set timer for thirty seconds.
