PNW adventure continues!

Andy came up to Tacoma for a few beers. Been something like five and a half years since we've seen each other. Was great to catch up.

Work rounded out nice and light. Not sure this trip was really necessary but grateful for the free airfare nonetheless. Sage picked me up round 3-ish and we headed out to his place, which is a ( Read more... )

Up in Seattle (actually Tacoma right now) till Sunday. Feel bad leaving Carrie at home with the kids but this kind of came up at the last minute and staying through the weekend was an opportunity that may not come again for a while in terms of work. Travel at the new job seems much less frequent even though it had fallen off quite a bit at the old ( Read more... )

Gaming: More Burning Post-Apocalyptic Rome. Catastrophic flood, we killed a witch, and evacuated the neighborhood saving them from the long beard horde.

Home stuff: Traci came through town on Sunday. Good times. Also got a storm door put on. Very nice.

Movies: Troll Hunter. Loved it. Check it out via Netflix instant.

Sick: Some kind of sinus garbage ( Read more... )

More and more I'm taking less and less time to keep this thing updated. I've been thinking about moving over to Blogger, but until I start devoting some time consistently to hammering out some posts I figure I may as well stay put.

Was good to see ifetus. phargle ran some Apocalypse World in lieu of normal Friday gaming, and we were joined by Tony and ifetus's ( Read more... )

Owen got a fat lip tonight. He was playing with Carrie and slammed his top lip into her teeth. A little blood, but he got over it surprisingly quick. While trying to investigate the wound we saw that his upper gum looks like a row of shark teeth is busting through it. We thought he had at least two new teeth coming in, but it looks like it's at ( Read more... )

Alex is staying with us through the weekend. We are being nice and letting him have the spare bed without having to get up in the middle of the night with babies. He will likely have to contend with Piper barging in and sleeping him, however. Last night he made homemade chile rellenos. Tonight I answered with sausage, potato, and lentil stew. What ( Read more... )

My postings are for crap.

Friday was Amy's birthday. Good times talking comics games and whatnot.

Alex is back. He picked up a position in town after his contract out in Virginia was cut. And just in time given the earthquake in DC today. He got into town this past Friday. Then Nathan and Amy came into town Saturday. Mom babysat and we went to dinner ( Read more... )

I got an iPad2 just before going to GenCon. It has proved immediately useful and super distracting. Let's face it, it's an overblown smartphone, minus the phone. PDF reading is ridiculously great, as are comic books. Installed a chat app on it tonight and that seems to work pretty good. Been playing game after game of Ascension with olde_fortran and Adam. Need ( Read more... )

GenCon was fantastic.  Here's a rundown.

• As always meeting and greeting all sorts of fine folk: Adam Kobold, Gregor 'Slamdring' Hutton, Ryan, Lily, Jared, Cat, Steve, Luke, Daniel, Will, Graham, Anna, Amanda, Clark, Cam, Logan, Kit.  Probably missing some, but them too.
• Diana Jones Award
• Watching Sage and Adam debut and sell out their Dungeon World ( Read more... )

I may have gotten out and walked Piper early once this week.  Having trouble remembering, but yes, I think I did it before going in to work late (since I was going to be staying late) on Tuesday.  Tomorrow I will endeavor to do the same.  That means waking up at 5:45 to get it done, but I am committed.  I also have new shoes that need breaking in ( Read more... )
