Good news for a change!

Lou Zocchi was missing in the post-Katrina chaos. Rick Loomis just got word from Lou’s daughter that they have heard from him, and he is safe in Alabama. No more is known, but that’s relief enough for the moment. For those who may be too young to know, Lous was called one of the “grand […]

Two completely different things…

The Mud Bay Slackers are here! This is my first foray into Fantasy Football (American style), so I’m hoping that I don’t do too embarrassingly poorly. Overall, I like the look of the team following the draft. I’m in the ten-team Beefy Cheesehead League. Save for Rothlisbureger and the defense (both sentimental favorites I wanted […]

Just down the road

Sobering thought for a day full of sobering thoughts and images. Highway 90, which passes by Madison, disappears under the water, beneath the now all-encompasing bayou, between the levees broken like a backbone, somewhere outside the remains of that most glorious city, New Orleans. Somewhere, an entire major metropolitan areas has been – for all […]

Michael Sheard, R.I.P

Actor Michael Sheard, of Grange Hill, Dr. Who and Star Wars fame, has passed away at the age of 65 at his home in the Isle of Wight. I fear I only had the honor of meeting him once, at CONvergence 2003. But I could easily see how he became beloved in the eyes of […]

Countdown to 500!

Hard to believe that if I can keep to anything resembling a schedule, there’ll be 500 Dork Towers up soon. Actually, I just checked. As I numbered the Interactive Week cartoons differently, there already are more than 500, by far.But these are the “Made for the Web Only” ‘toons I’m talking about. So…counting down to […]

Huzzah for Hollywood

Sorry I didn’t post this sooner: I’ll be appearing at the 25th Birthday Celebrations for Pegasus Games (aka “Pegasaurus Games,” in Dork Tower) from noon-2 pm both Saturday and Sunday. (Actually, I’ll most likely be there much longer. But those are my “official” times). I’ll be running tons of Out of the Box games, with […]

Non- Mallards stuff for a change!

That promised non-Mallards coolness: **** The Great Luke Ski is releasing his latest CD at GenCon: “unCONVENTIONal.” Some yutz did the cover art for him. Luke wanted me to rap with him on one track (it’ll be very easy to tell which one, once you get the CD). Events, and my massive work schedule, conspired […]

One Last Mallards Game!

There’s one last Mallards game. In Madison, that is. As the Mallards web site puts it: Mallards Set For One Night Stand Your Madison Mallards will return to the Duck Pond for their final home game of the 2005 season Friday, August 19th at 7:05 vs. the Thunder Bay Border Cats for the first game […]
