Criminal Element and Me

I've been asked to do a series of blogs on Criminal Element this year.

The first one is up is titled AIRPORT TRAVEL FOR THE PARANOID AND DELUSIONAL

I'll be doing others like USING ESPIONAGE TECHNIQUES TO GET WHAT YOU WANT AT A PARTY, MY BENE GESSERIT BOX, and TRAINING CHALLENGES IN PAPUA NEW GUINEA.

I have to up my blog game a little. Hope I pull it off.

It would be cool if you all could flip over and maybe comment once or twice.

In addition to mine, there are quite a few interesting bloggers on Criminal Element. I particular like Dave Richard's blog, Westeros Noir: A Game of Thrones as Crime Fiction, where he parses the plot to demonstrate the crimeness of it.

Neat!

Now I REALLY can't wait for GAME OF THRONES.
