If Denny Renz were a boy again, he said, he would love nothing more than to re-enact Ralphie Parkerâ..s childhood.
Brian Jones, with a Red Ryder air rifle, started a business that sold the leg lamp made famous in â..A Christmas Story.â.
He would crawl under the kitchen sink the way Ralphieâ..s brother, Randy, did to hide from Mr. Parker, their father in the 1983 movie â..A Christmas Story.â. He would swing from the tree in the backyard, he said, dodging imaginary BBs fired from Ralphieâ..s coveted â..official Red Ryder 200-shot carbine action range model air rifle.â.
â..Iâ..ve never seen this house before, but itâ..s like I grew up here,â. said Mr. Renz, 62, who drove 103 miles from Fairview, Pa., to see the home here where exterior shots of â..A Christmas Storyâ. were filmed.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
