A Token of My Esteem.
I spent the better part of today reading Dan Brown's Deception Point ( I want my three hours back!) and avoiding doing the dishes. Last night I had a sort-of dinner party, where I made lots of awesome food with the stuff I had in the house and in the gf's car from subsequent adventuring and a lot of my roommate's friends came over and ate it.

Part of the year I was just a monitor and scout for potential recruits. I gave regular staff trainings, appeased the aged patrons whose feats of yore had landed ( Read more... ) -
prologue
Let me tell you about the year I became a criminal. Like almost all criminals, I'm aware of my own criminality, and like most criminals I've known, I've come to realize that there are different sides to the idea of a life of crime.
