As @TNickPerkins told me today on Twitter, “DUDE. Stuff happens to you don’t it?” It would seem. My wife calls me. Middle of the afternoon and I’m at work. “A man in a van just drove into our house and then smashed into our car.” No, no one got hurt. Not even the driver. Thank goodness. [...]
Before there was The SuperFogeys, there was the blog “From Behind the Light.” It was mostly personal stories from my own life with a sprinkling of other nonsense like short fiction stories and a some early comics. Now that we’re on this new site, I can do more blogging of that type and bring back [...]
Before there was The SuperFogeys, there was the blog “From Behind the Light.” This is from 2005: I think the powers of darkness tried to kill me last night. How do I know this? First of all, it was nighttime. Everyone knows that Satan would not kill you during the day. It just wouldn’t be [...]

Many moons ago, I wrote a blog called “From Behind the Light.” It was mostly personal stories. Some comics. This is one of the better entries, rewritten for your enjoyment. There will be no science in this story. If you are a scientist, go back to your beaker and your ‘facts’ and your proofs. There [...]
Many moons ago, I wrote a blog called “From Behind the Light.” It was mostly personal stories. Some comics. This is one of the better entries, rewritten for your enjoyment. You can read Part One of “The Asthma Killer” right here. When Paco Jose was a small boy, all of the members his family were [...]

You can read Part One of “The Asthma Killer” here. You can read Part Two of “The Asthma Killer” here. It was decided that we [...]
