Personal thoughts:
This article is the first time that Robert Jordan has publicly said that he's open to the possibility of having someb
I'm going to be honest... I dropped the ball. We had an AWESOME podcast for Episode 22. For some crazy reason my computer decided to delete my portion of the file. I've had experts trying to recover the files. Doens't seem like it's going to happen. We're going to try and release 23 early to quench your cravings! I'm so SORRY!!!

I'm back a little sooner than usual this time, because I realized that I left off something very important when I was advising some guys dealing with illness. Maybe the most important thing of all. Laugh. Make her laugh. Make him laugh. Make yourself laugh. Keeping your spirits up has a really great effect, believe me. There are lots of situations where it's hard to find something to laugh at, but in most situations where you can grumble, you can find a laugh in there if you look at it a

Well, I've been offline for a while, but I thought you had the news pretty well from Wilson, plus I needed to rest up, frankly, having had a stretch of in the hospital, then out of the hospital, in and then out, in again, and this time out on a Saturday so I could get on a plane on Sunday, have my tests done at the Mayo on Monday, talk with the doctors on Tuesday, then drive to Minneapolis to speak at Mike Ford's Memorial service. Frankly, I got home in some ways stronger than when I left, but

Tonight I will be doing a forum upgrade to make sure we're running the most current version of the forum software. Also, I am adding several new features aimed at preventing, locating and deleting spam.
The forums will be locked later tonight for about an hour for all non-Admin members while I migrate all of the content. Once the forums come back online, all of the posts, private messages and usernames will still work fine, nothing will be lost. I am only locking the forums to ensure that no
Hi, guys. I was going to put up a regular post here today, but that is going to have to wait a few days. You see, Mike Ford died last night. To you, he was John M.
