Except for Living in a Cave

I sometimes think it might be nice to be a dragon except for the whole living in a cave and sleeping on a pile of treasure thing. And I would not want to be a dragon named Puff either. Maybe I don't want to be a dragon as much as I'd like to have one. Perhaps this is why I think Daenerys Targaryen is one of the more compelling characters in A Song of Ice and Fire.

Still in the Studio

This guy, a present from a close friend, sits on a shelf and watches me create. I have always had a thing for dragons; as a child, I would have given anything for a real Puff the Magic. It is probably not surprising that I found Daenerys Targaryen to be one of the most compelling characters in A Song of Ice and Fire. And for what it's worth, today I'm wearing the dragon t-shirt I rescued from the dumpster outside younger son's dorm during this year's move-out week.
