Riddle me this: I am a Wondrous Thing
It was back at World Con in 2016, in our hometown of Kansas City, that we met author Rob Howell and I started reading his books. For a review of his book A Lake Most Deep just follow the link I placed in the book title. Because today's post is going to be on his book … Continue reading Riddle me this: I am a Wondrous Thing
Worlds of Fun: Miscellaneous Reflections
I realize I haven’t blogged as much recently about Worlds of Fun as I have at other times during their season, so today, I am going to put up some miscellaneous thoughts about recent goings-on at the park.

Goodbye Starlight …

Yellow Submarine in Progress
I don't think this will have any spoilers. Daughter got out the "Yellow Submarine" movie. Watching it right now. Surreal. Seems to be more a showcase for their songs than anything with a plot. But surreal can certainly entertain. Now, if I only knew their music more, I might find some of it more comprehensible. … Continue reading Yellow Submarine in Progress
