Every time I think I have done something as well as I possibly can, I learn something new that takes me beyond that last milestone. Can it go on indefinitely? Well, maybe if I were immortal and my mind was the size of a planet. However, since neither of those things are true (as far as I know, anyway), I’m going to say, it can go on as long as I’m still learning new things. <picture Mike holding up right hand in some sort of oath position> So, that being said, I vow to always try to learn new things so that I am always testing my own limits (and maybe even exceeding them). Limits have, for me anyway, another […]

I am always looking for guest so I said yes. I also asked him if he would appear so I could get […]

What do you say when you have nothing to say at all? Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious, of course! (for those of you unfamiliar with Mary Poppins, the Disney Classic, that is where the reference comes from). Honestly, with everything that has been going on lately, I’m having difficulty focusing on one thing long enough to get anything done. I’m sure you have all been through similar times in your life. So, let me just give you an update on what I’ve been up to on the writing and podcasting front, instead. The BIG news is, my co-editor Jeff Hite and I have put our anthology,A Method to the Madness: A Guide to the Super Evilto bed. We are expecting layout to be complete […]
