Rejoice to the heavens above: The last mag of the cycle is off to the printer. The final zip disk hand-off was a quiet transaction. No office fireworks or screaming, clapping colleagues…just me and the Editor preparing the FedEx package. It felt good to send it off. We are pleased with the last issue. Kids will be too. That’s the goal: To stoke the kids out there. Simple enough. Industry pressures? Of course, they pay the bills…but, we have to stay focused and respect the demographic’s wishes. And I think we are doing that pretty successfully.

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas to the 6 people or so who read this.
