I will have to get the autograph book out of storage. I remember winning Zork I as a kid but it was a team effort. Don’t think we cracked II and III.

Peek-a-boo!

Heard these things are flying off the shelf.

No, that’s September. This photo of me just happens to be 40 years old.

#Tbt 40 years ago is a galaxy far far away…

I spy with my little eye…

I never thought I'd see the day when 'Black Market Eggs' stopped meaning human eggs, and started meaning chicken eggs.

My wife just informed me that when she orders food for pick up, she uses a fake name - not because she’s worried about identity theft, she’s just trying out new names. 🤣
