Push the Button
I had an unexpected moment in a police station that got me thinking about my life. Or rather, my character did.
Blasting Bad Guys

The XLM LAN-tacular!
The Extra Life Ministries LAN-tacular will be at my place on September 17, starting at 2 pm.

I admit, I get a little thrill when I hear that little pa-pluck sound.
