Rogue Wave

Planned Parent Fun

June 20, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

The following is a running thought time line from “Normal Pepperdine Dad” during Waves Weekend: (Friday Afternoon): Man, how beautiful is this place? Are you goofing me!?

They were now just passing faces at the grocery store. A large portion of my break was spent on couches in my house, asking family members whether they’d “seen that video.” If they had, we’d … [Read more...] about Couch potato in search of home

Rogue Wave says his final goodbye

April 13, 2014 by Ben Holcomb

Art by Sacha Irick The tide has come in, which means they’re kicking me out. If I could write Rogue Wave for the Graphic the rest of my life and still manage to provide and care for a family, I’d do it. But life moves on, and I must wander off into the cold darkness that is post-grad life. I could reflect on my four years at Pepperdine and end with something … [Read more...] about Rogue Wave says his final goodbye
