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 is the second to last post I made at WWdN:in Exile. I’m copying it here for completion’s sake. In 2001, blogs were very new things. In fact, as much more time was […]
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.

A bag of nachos.
What?
A cape, most likely black or red.
A catch-phrase.
An endless supply of peanut butter (brand of their choice).
A towel. Or at least know where one is.
A death ray.
A bearded mirror-universe double.
An army of red-shirted henchmen
Theme music
a chance to live happily ever after
A romantic interest/lover.
Capes are no good. Didn’t you see The Incredibles?
Or in this case a clean-shaven mirror-universe double.
A secret weapon.
A second-in-command (Number 2).
A patsy. A fall-guy
You mean Number One?
Also, your secret headquarters needs a well-stocked laboratory, and it needs to be in some remote place (North Pole, Himalayas, small island in the middle of the Pacific, etc.).
I was thinking more of Number Two from Austin Powers.
A scar, and an awesome story about how they got it.
But the context begs for Number One…
No capes!
A Plan B.
An infernal contraption
Manners.
An ascot.
A Fez
A good blaster at your side.
A blog or two as entertaining as this one to follow. (Yeah, I’m kissing up, but I get so much enjoyment here I couldn’t resist!)
An idea that just.
Might.
Work.
An alibi.
A beard. In the event a beard cannot be grown, a suitably nefarious and/or steampunkish handlebar mustache may be substituted.
If facial hair is not an option, a hench-beard may be hired (Henchbeings, Underlings, Menials, Peons and Sycophants Union approved, of course).
A catch phrase and a signature move/or take down for enemies.
– a Mom and Dad to love, and to be loved by
– a home to find those to love
– and still….. SOMEONE TO LOVE
maybe I’m wrong, but I dont think so……
yeah man, but capes are cool… they look edgy, plus how lame does spiderman look?
A handy diversion.
An expendable crew member.
A comprehensive knowledge of the Evil Overlord list (just in case).
1. Home brew
2. Minions
3. A fireplace to relax by and sip cognac after causing mayhem, preferably with a bear skin rug in front of it
That’s easy. Everyone should have someone to sing “Soft Kitty” to them when they are sick.
An ace in the hole
a soundtrack, and something to look forward to.
A femme fatale.Or the masculine equivalent. Homme fatale I guess? Anyways, a sexy second that could betray them at any moment for the right incentive (that being the sexy hero).
A non-descript door in an utterly silent, non-descript hallway of your hidden lair, which, upon opening reveals an army of black-suited, ninja, commando asassins, shooting submachineguns & flamethrowers, rapelling on ropes, and Kung Fu fighting in an enormous cavern.
Upon closing the door, he hallway is, once again, totally, and eerily, silent.
A sandwich.
A dark secret, obviously. Otherwise, what’s it all for?
A “Wesley Crusher” who can cane come in and save the day.
Yeah, Riker on TNG was Number 1.
A degree or skill that they can fall back on in case it all fails.
Simple; a confidant.
