I'm becoming a bad influence.

growing older

I won't be going to the Bay Area for Christmas this year. It's one of the few chances I have to see my nephews, but so it goes. One of them used to think I was the coolest uncle ever, especially since I like comic-books too, but he's grown up now and I'm not sure he still reads comics, but the little guy now makes movies, and even has a green screen. The thing though is that now I'm just someone he knows. Oh well.
