It’s August and I’m still looking for that new and creepy monster to add to the graveyard this year. Ray Bradbury’s “The Halloween Tree” is a great source of inspiration, so I’m planning a few quiet evenings to re-re-re-read it.

Remember the “Endless Quest” books by TSR? ‘You have entered the door to the north. You are now by yourself, standing in a dark room. The pungent stench of mildew eminates from the wet dungeon walls.’ Okay, I’m mixing my metaphors. Endless Quest books were popular with some of the younger, nerdier d&d types. I loved them. “Choose your path to adventure!” The b&w artwork, like that in the d&d manuals, was my favorite.

I still can’t come up with a compelling reason to keep this blog.
