I am going to be writing some articles for Krypton Radio (you can also find them on Facebook) for a column called, “Voice of Legend.” The premise is loosely “connecting interesting bit of ancient fact and folklore to modern day geeky stuff.” I’m going to address some topics on Christmas and other holidays, plus probably some discussions on Thor, the Avengers, and more.
But I am interested in what you folks might want to hear about. These articles will be pulished on Krypton Radio’s website, be recorded for on-air playback, and probably posted on my website.

When I was growing up, Cowboys in Minnesota did not wear cowboy hats. Hybrid seed baseball caps and mud boots were the dress of choice. With or without Parka, depending.
Little known fact: We had a horse growing up, and I took care of 14-27 horses while at Bar-None Ranch in Minnesota. I like horses. I’m just not fond of all the work. Feeding and maintaining 20+ horses at 10- on cold Minnesota mornings cured my horse habit big time.
