Magic, travel, and community? or something? I don't know

I spent this past weekend at a Magic tournament called "Cardmaggedon" which was... much smaller than expected, but that meant I won $150 despite not doing super well, so, hooray? I've gone to big tournaments a few times in the last couple of months (one in LA, one in Oakland, and this one in Las Vegas) and the LA trip I took with a group of friends

I think putting time and energy into a hobby you enjoy and find rewarding is a fine thing to do. Bonus points for pokemon judging also being enabling other people's fun and being a responsible adult role model. I was tickled pink by your recent mention of the parents of one of the young'uns you'd worked with sending you a photo when their kid won a tournament prize. :)

If you find it starts eating into your time to do other things that you value, like hanging out with your sweeties, I think you have the good sense to notice (or at least listen if they bug you about it) and recalibrate.
