Okay, so it’s been a while since I’ve been in the Confessional. The tail end of Lent can be a bit busy time for pastor-type people. But now that we’re past Easter, I think it’s time to start wrapping this series up. We’ve got a few more entries to go.…

Tomorrow is the Blitz!

John W. Otte April 9, 2015 April 4, 2015Books, Failstate, Superheroes 0
