The basis of this post will probably be a recurring format.  Here are a handful of existing story ideas that I love.

Batman.  Probably my favorite character ever.  He is just such a great creation.  He doesn’t have super powers.  He has an awesome costume.  And a strong aspect of his character is his intellect.  Just an all around awesome idea.  A great Batman moment I saw only recently: then you’re damn fools.

And so, on Friday and Saturday nights, we found our own entertainment. Many nights were spent in my house’s bonus room playing music. Alas, Endless Driveway was not the name of our band.  The music side of the story is for another time.
