It's nice to have heroes, isn't it? And it's even nicer to know that there are real life heroes among us . . .
Spider-Man couldn't do it alone. So he called on ELECTRON BOY!!!!!
Heroes come in all shapes and sizes. Journalist Katherine Long of the Seattle Times wrote about the amazing Electron Boy . . .
Over 500 people were involved in making Erik's dream come true--to become a superhero. And a superhero he is, because not only did he fight off the bad guys and save the day, he brought joy and hope to the thousands who read about him.

And finally, last weekish, while I was in the parking lot, a woman ran up to me and said, "I have to tell you something."
I was a bit worried, until she said, "I love your bumper sticker!"
