Rest in Peace Stan Lee – Your Fans will Miss You!

Stan died yesterday at 95–A life well lived and a man that we will never forget. His life was not without controversy as few are, but what is certain is that he has forever impacted the way we perceive superheroes. To make them relatable, Stan gave them human problems we all experience. One thing he never neglected was his throngs of adoring fans. A rite of passage for many was to get their picture taken with Stan at a comic convention or elsewhere. This post, my tribute to Stan Lee, features those now “once in a lifetime” photos with Stan the Man.

RIP Carrie Fisher - 12-27-2016

The world has lost a real gem with yesterday’s passing of Carrie Fisher. As a father of two young ladies, I always admired how Carrie was an outspoken woman filled with wit and talent. My girls recently watched all the Star Wars films with me, and they cheered for the Princess who took the fight to the enemy. They both wanted to be just like her. Medical authorities list heart attack as the cause of death, but we all know, of course, that we lost the Princess when she drowned in the moonlight, strangled by her bra.
