Professional Dummy: Year One

It’s a gala event!

The sky is crossed by searchlights!

The paparazzi are out in force!

The stars are on the red carpet!

But that’s down the street.

No, here at Professional Dummy, it’s a quiet one-year celebration. My little corner of the internet, apart from the accumulated cobwebs and hobos, has brought me joy and sadness, aggravation and laughs. I got to talk about where my fear of spiders comes from, the agony of working in a slave camp call center, the guilty pleasures of Miami Vice (pal!), my wife and how she puts up with her man-child, and my favorite obsession: pulps.

I considered dropping this blog a few times, especially now that the work-load prevents me from posting here very often and most of my free time is taken up with the writing of my book. But I persevere because it’s been fun, and I’ve met some really cool friends from this whole experience. It’s been a quiet little blast, and I think I’ll stick around here.

Thanks, everyone.

YEAR ONE: DECEMBER 6, 2006 - DECEMBER 6, 2007
