Greetings from the Justice Dragon!
Greetings, my friends.
I am the Justice Dragon. It is my honor, and my pleasure, to protect you from the unsavory villains usually called Monsters. Have you not been menaced by one lately? Then you know I have done my duty.
Thankfully, many that remain in your world sleep in the winter, as I do. If an emergency arises, I will wake to eliminate the danger.
Now spring has arrived. I have awakened from slumber, fully refreshed and ready to engage the unnatural threats to our world.
If, in the meantime, you have any questions to ask of me, feel free to ask. My scribe will relay my answers, as my claws are too cumbersome to type on dainty little keyboards. You may reach me through my electronic “social media” page here.
As always I bid you good day.
Vade cum Deo!
Star Wars Progress Report, 3-19-2017
At last, after years of labor and research, I’m about to complete the first of many volumes of my work, The Star Wars Historical Sourcebook, An Annotated Bibliography Detailing the Original Star Wars Trilogy, Episodes IV, V and VI, from 1971-1990. Volume One will cover 1971 through June 1977, documenting publications during that time covering the making and impact of Star Wars. And it’s loaded with many behind-the-scenes anecdotes.
I’ve updated my wantlists, my general wantlist here and a French publication wantlist here. If you can supply PDFs of any of the periodicals, you’ll be helping make the Sourcebook more complete in its scope.
Stay tuned for further announcements!

As we were leaving the flower show last night we managed to get a good up close & personal with this beast 😆

Adventures in Microsoft: Changing the Color of File Names
What if you wanted to change the font color of your file, to differentiate it from your other files?
It can be done. Here’s how:
Change the font color to blue by selecting “Properties” for the filename and on the advanced tab select “compress file to save disk space” – this changes the filename to blue (to show that the file has been compressed).

I tried it. It works!
James Herriot: Portrait of a Bestseller
Are you a writer? Would you like some inspiration from a best-selling author, one who needed motivation to write and then suffered through many rejections? Meet James Herriot, veterinarian-author of All Creatures Great and Small and its sequels. Shortly after two films were made of his works, and prior to the TV series, the BBC interviewed Herriot on his life and what he did to achieve success as an author.
