NY Hauntings: Cohoes Music Hall (Part 2)
Finishing up with what I began, the believes, and my findings on them. 5. Activity ramps up when the building undergoes renovation. I worked there for a couple of seasons, and I heartily agree with this. All kinds of things went on during the first run of Nunsense, and this was when they were attempting…

NY Hauntings: Cohoes Music Hall
First, in case you haven’t heard of it, below are some common stories associated with it, and my take on them. 1. Haunted by the ghost of Eva Tanguay. Eva Tanguay was a vaudeville star (Canadian). Details here if you’re interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eva_Tanguay Eva, along with many other notables, appeared at Cohoes Music Hall, and legend…

Matchups We’d Like To See
1. Groot vs. Audrey 2. A giant, loveable tree taking on a sassy, man-eating flytrap? That would boost HGTVs ratings. I see a lot of roots and tentacles going at it, although in his favor, Audrey 2 also has teeth and can open his mouth considerably wider than Groot. Groot would certainly win the fan…

Random Thoughts on vacation
(No, I didn’t go anywhere. I’m trying to organize more artwork, and create more artwork, and publicize Break, and get reading done, including reading to give out some reviews, and work on my NCTI course, and write a rework of Simon Festus, and progress on book 3….wait…vacation? What?) 1. What gives, Vermont? Vermont, I love…

Not Sorrowful (Except for the stupidity involved)
I posted this on Facebook, but man, I gotta share it with a bigger audience. This happened Wednesday morning. Yes, it really happened. How this morning started: At Dunkin, in the drive-thru. The drive-thru comes out in an alley, which is one-way. You MUST turn left. And, right there, plastered on a fence, is a…

Thoughts of sorrow
A FB friend posted a link to an article today, the sort of article there are way too many of. I don’t remember what site it came from; half of these sites make me sick and I click on “hide posts from yada yada”. It was about some kid who killed 5 members of his…

…only in a video game….
…do animals drop treasure, like breastplates, magic wands, and gold. …can adventurers collect all that treasure, because everyone can carry 8-12 backpacks, along with their weapons. …can you be a hero to everyone yet make extra gold by rolling the corpses of innocents. …can you shamelessly steal from barrels, boxes, and chests in town, and…

The Beginning continued….
As a (seemingly) mortal child, Azbaelus was subjected to all kinds of torments from the devils around him, although he was never in real danger, as he was also recognized as being under Asmodeus’ aegis. He was given the ability to shapeshift for this reason: centaurs don’t function well in a castle. Stairs? Humanoid-designed furnishings? …

How Break Began
Sometimes people ask when I started it. My answer? Around 15. Yep, that’s about when I got into Dungeons & Dragons. I was always a huge fantasy freak. I read all the best-known anthologies: the Thomas Covenant books, the Amber books, Piers Anthony (both Xanth and Incarnations of Immortality), Elric, loads of Mercedes Lackey, Shannara,…
