From the 2013 Bookshelf: I love logic puzzles and games like Sudoku, so Number Cross Puzzles intrigued me from the first look. I'll admit that at first glance, Number Cross Puzzles does look a bit overwhelming since the starting point is a little harder to come by than in other number games.

A hurt that will always be there, even as the years go by. The same can be said for the … [Read more...] about Gun Control Is An Agenda, Not The Answer
Starting Over
I'm starting over. For those of you who don't know already, for the past few years I've been pouring my personal writing, editing, podcasting, etc. into an amazing news site called Naptown Buzz. But as amazing as it is, there are times as an editor where I have to step back and refrain from saying and/or posting certain things because it just doesn't fit the topic.
