Went to the gaming store tonight to study up on the mods I might be running Thursday.   Nature's Wrath seems like the easiest to handle, and of course I can't remember if Richard asked me to run Heirloom or Inheritance.  I read through the former because I'm somewhat sure that's what he requested, but my short-term memory is terrible.  Barely ( Read more... )

So I had a really great weekend for the most part, just home with the family.  The kids were fun as we went to a farm-like store, the playground/pond, and the pool.  Laura and I had some awesome quality time at night and even played a somewhat hysterical game of Trivial Pursuit, circa 1997.  We had a blast.  We are wonderfully suited for one ( Read more... )

Blew off a few things to have a quiet weekend - well, as quiet as can be when I have to haul my tuxedoed ass down the shore on Sunday night for a 7pm wedding.  7pm!  With shore traffic I'll be lucky to get home by 2am, and of course I have to work Monday.  Blergh.  Laura's staying home with the kids as we are unwilling to spend at least 150 bucks ( Read more... )

Outstanding weekend, as expected.  Notes:

• drove home yesterday in a thunderstorm, the likes of which I've never seen before.  I wasn't aware it could rain that heavily, and we crept along at about 25 mph on the Mass Pike with flashers on.  To give you an idea of visibility I was in the fast lane pretty much following the yellow line on the left ( Read more... )

heading up to Boston for a gaming con.  Running Inspectres twice, playing 4e with someone I've always wanted to have GM for me, and savage worlds game with a very good GM and some awesome players.   For my 'being Allowed into Massachussetts' tax I've made 6 quarts of gourmet mac and cheese, 6 chicken rolls and 2 pepperoni rolls.  i went with an ( Read more... )

Inspectres is ready for Peg Con, if I'm running once.  If I have to run twice OMGWTFBBQ I'll have to do so much extra work!  I'll have to put ALL SEVEN CHARACTER PAGES in a copier.  My god, the horror . . .  the horror.  I am actually kind of happy we were eliminated in rugby so I can go to this.  Not excited or proud, but I know I'll have a great ( Read more... )

Busy busy busy.  And who suffers?  LJ, that's who.  Not afraid to admit I'm feeling a little run down in general - seems like the demands of life are being pretty damn demanding, which is appropriate, I guess.  Oh well.  I'll survive.

So, South Carolina.  Bullet points?  Sure.

• heap long drive, but it wasn't too bad.  The worst part was the music - ( Read more... )

Heading down to South Carolina this evening at the charming hour of midnight.  Sounds crazy, but with three of us in a truck and a 12 or so hour ride in front of us it's not a bad idea.  Plus, we should get in early enough to possibly go play some golf, which would be hysterical on many levels as I haven't swung a club in at least 4 years.  Want to ( Read more... )

Been a busy few days around here.  let's not talk about work, which was 8 kinds of miserable.  Thursday I blew off practice to game because it'll be a few weeks until I can do so again with Nationals approaching.  Pretty much my last hurrah for rugby, methinks.  Next season I will happily settle into my role as B game player as we move up to ( Read more... )

Took the drop side off Zack's crib yesterday, effectively making it a bed.  He took right to it and had zero transition problems.  Ye gods the time is zipping by.  He's putting together sentences and throwing tantrums at a skill level at least a year above his current age ( Read more... )
