Well folks, this is the end. Now we all have a chance to find out what happens to Earth, Greklor, Grokmar, MegaDan and, of course, the humans themselves. I would like to thank you all for joining me on this journey. It has been both gruelling and extremely rewarding. The next step for the story is to move it over to Podiobooks.com. I’m also going to shelf the story for a few months before I come back and edit it into book form. If I’m lucky, it will see a paper version in the near future. One last thing. I will be making t-shirts available to celebrate GalaxyBillies completion and move to podiobooks. Watch for it in the next two […]

The weather is cooling off, the sun is going down earlier and the kids are back in school. It must be fall. Time to switch gears once again. Fall means a lot of changes to my schedule. I add both Scouts and Cub Scouts to my week (Scouts are Monday and Cubs are Tuesday), plus campouts. That sucks a lot of time. Time I’ve been using to write and podcast. So what do I give up?
