Andy Duncan has been a great mentor and friend since he taught me at Clarion UCSD. It was a delight to see him as Guest of Honor at Pittsburgh’s Confluence.

If you want to check out the monthly Art Walk in Waterloo this weekend, stop by the Phone Gallery to see my sister, Grace Vibbert's work!

Whenever I feel down, I can re-read this review: "You know those TV series you watch because there is something about that particular group of characters together which is like your most messed up mates all out on the same night? Like The Good Place or Brooklyn Nine-Nine?"

I hadn't dread, didn't need to, but definitely am going to.
