Ben's Paradise Diary - 1



[This one has a lovely zen feeling to me. - Jim]

Introducing: Benjamin Kalish

I think I met Ben at a swing dance, but I had seen him at the library, and over at the bridge street coop many years ago. And by met, I mean actually introduced myself and had a conversation. He is an interesting person, who plays music, dances and works as a librarian. I invited him over to play games a few times, and we had fun. He brought a comic he had made over one time, and I thought it would be nice to post some of it here.
