D&D - Return of the Nerd
Amusingly enough, I have a new D&D group! That answers one of my questions from a few months ago: http://edders.livejournal.com/284715.htmlBecca has taken interest in D&D over the past couple years, I found a couple friends in relatively-nearby Boxborough who like RPG's, and through them another guy from my old church who used to play, and through ( Read more... ) -

But after work I bought a rose and a chocolate rose for Becca (flowers & chocolate, why not combined?), and brought them home. It turned out that Becca ( Read more... ) -
One year on and we still miss him
I wasn't planning on writing a eulogy, but it turns out that's what I've done:
George N. Parks, 1953-2010
Interestingly enough, I'm sitting exactly where I was sitting a year ago when I saw the news that GNP had died unexpectedly overnight on a band trip. I'm at the same desk in the IT Help Desk where I was sitting back then. It was a Thursday, ( Read more... )
