Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Cedar Point

Cedar Point: Mecca of the Cedar Fair park system. Everyone needs to make a pilgrimage there at least once in a lifetime. We arrived in Sandusky on Tuesday evening, and after checking into our motel and unpacking, took a quick run out to the park to get a lay of the land – and have … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Cedar Point →

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure

Michigan’s Adventure was perhaps the nicest park, as a total package, to be able to go to and enjoy in one day. Not that it had any points that were specifically better than any of the other parks, but it was put together in such an easy and enjoyable way. But I am going to … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Michigan’s Adventure →

Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Canada’s Wonderland

Our schedule for touring the parks also had a few other events on it to be planned around. That is why we didn’t hit Carowinds in the Carolinas nor Dorney Park in Pennsylvania. Our next park was on Saturday, July 8 in Vaughn Canada: Canada’s Wonderland. We left Buffalo that morning, and with generally clear … Continue reading Cedar Fair Parks Tour: Canada’s Wonderland →

LibertyCon 2017 : thematic after action report

Now that I have typed up daily reports on LibertyCon 2017, I want to do a slightly different look, thematic perspective on LibertyCon 2017: Where is Sarah? – For those of us in the Hoyts Hun contingent, where Sarah was, from her highly belated arrival (whose arrival wasn’t) on Thursday, through various other scheduled and … Continue reading LibertyCon 2017 : thematic after action report →

Sunday At LibertyCon 2017

Session One: The Writing Hoyts Sunday we started our day with what we had hoped to do on Thursday evening: See the Hoyts read. Every scheduled time we had seen on the schedule something had come up so they hadn’t been there; we had enjoyed the sessions, but missed the Hoyts. We had a chance … Continue reading Sunday At LibertyCon 2017 →

Saturday at LibertyCon 2017

Session One: Overcoming Writer's Block I would have to say, as a currently non-fiction writer, this session was probably one of the most enjoyable, and practical, ones I have sat in on so far. The panel of five addressed the issue of writer's block. They started with the process of how to "conquer" the first … Continue reading Saturday at LibertyCon 2017 →

Friday at LibertyCon 2017

Session 1: Stealth in Space The first session/panel we hit was Stealth in Space. Which we were told would not work like the Romulan cloaking device. Stealth is based on detection ability. If you use active sensors to try and detect someone else, be assured they can see you twice as far away as you … Continue reading Friday at LibertyCon 2017 →

Right now I am reflecting on the journey to LibertyCon. We decided to come to LibertyCon after attending WorldCon/MidAmericaCon last year in our hometown of Kansas City. CorldCon was … Continue reading LibertyCon Arrival →
