Continue reading →: A House Divided
At this current moment, the Hughes household is divided. Steph is hanging out in Portland, Maine this week. She’s out there for business and not to play in the hurricane which is fortunately far enough south that it isn’t bothering her except for large amounts of rain and wind. She’s…

As has become my mantra – It’s been a bit busy as of late. So, uh, yeah, sorry about the lack of updates. Work is still doing it’s bit and I’m still doing my bit. Vacation did a lot to help and even though that relaxation has worn off, I’m…

Thursday I flee work and head to Chicago for Chicon, the 70th Annual Science Fiction & Fantasy Convention (aka Worldcon). To get a grasp on what this con is like, imagine a huge hotel in downtown Chicago taken over by geeks, nerds, cosplayers (people who dress up as their favorite…
