Life is good.  This week has been exceptionally productive, both on the farm and with book four.  I feel like things are coming together nicely on both fronts.  I haven’t had much time to write blog posts because of all the hard work, so please forgive me for getting behind on here.  I’ll try harder to carve out a little more time for this site, as I have many topics I’d love to discuss on here.

Tomorrow, from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, I’ll be at the Best Western off exit #8 in Morristown for Collectors’ Showcase Comic and Toy Convention.  The show was featured on the front page of the Citizen Tribune yesterday and looks to be a fun time.  I’m looking forward to meeting Shannon Rhea and all of the others involved with putting this together.  If you get the chance, stop by and say hello.

Also, I want to give a big shout-out to my best friend Dagan Smith, who received some much-deserved good news yesterday.  He and I have both been through many similar struggles in our personal and professional lives, and there aren’t words for how happy I am for him.  My man, you’ve paid your dues and come through the fires one helluva man, and deserve all of the blessings in your life.  From the bottom of my heart, I wish you all best as you move into this new chapter of your life.  You’ve been my brother for as long as I can remember and, at times, were one of the only people who had my back.  You’ve earned this opportunity, and for what it’s worth, I’m proud of you for your perseverance.

That’s all for now.  Hope to see some of you tomorrow at the show.
