    This is more fun that a barrel full of Wesley Crusher action figures and an official Red Ryder carbine-action, two hundred shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and this thing which tells time.
    Thank so much for sharing it. I don’t have BBCA right now (those bastards!) and I really appreciate getting to see this moment of pure nerd glee.

    I have to tell you that I had recorded The Nerdist and watched it, so I saw the whole show. When I saw your reaction to your present, I had to rewind it and watch it again. It was the most heartwarming thing I have ever seen. And your face was the most priceless thing evar. It really made my heart sing watching your reaction and feeling what must have been going through your heart and mind.
    Thank you for that present, Mr. Wheaton. That was the best holiday present, ever.

    Exactly!
    How much LESS cool would that whole thing have been if you DIDN’T have that d12 with you just then? 🙂

    Watching you open that gift caused ice cream to come out of my nose.

    Dear Wil
    Today was the first day I ever read anything penned by your hand, or watched cell phone videos cast in your shaky fist.
    I have Nerdist/Year in Review DVR’d,, I think it will be awesome! Really cool to hear how much you’re liking your Brewing hobby.
    I like when you play your slightly-more-evil-self on the BigBangTheory, as well. Everyone loves art imitating art imitating life 😛
    Happy new year from Pennsylvania and do take care.
    Best.
    a

    As there is most likely no way this will ever be shown or available in the UK, I hope you and Chris don’t mind I’ve acquired this show via the grey areas of the internet.
    Must have been great being on the same show as so many nerd icons. Well done. :o)
    The bleeping really sucks, though. :o(

from the vault: the autumn moon lights my way

I wrote A LOT about my sons, and our relationship, during this five year mission. It's rewarding and special to look back at those posts, now, knowing everything I know.

After a long Exile, I returned home this weekend. Until the heat death of the universe or I stop blogging (whichever comes first), I'll be back at WWdN.

This weekend, after way, way too many years in exile, I’m finally returning home. Wow. Typing that made me feel all the feels. I wasn't expecting that.
