Well, the test is done, so I can resurface for some air. We played some good D&D yesterday (beat some Fey at their own game and got our barbarian gnome crushed by an ettin). Then crumpets tonight. We played one not-so-good game, and then the second was a thriller, with our team being totally manhandled in the beginning, but then coming back from ( Read more... )

Of course it would happen. In the middle of the 4 hottest days of the year and coming up to one of the most important, expensive and difficult tests I've ever taken, I get a cold. Not just any cold, mind you, the sort that makes me need to blow my nose every 30 seconds, the sort that makes me get up out of bed about eleventy times to use the ( Read more... )

Back from honeymoon. Good times. Very busy. Will post about it later.

I just got back from my own bachelor's party.....what a weird feeling.

As usual, it's been a good bit of time since last I wrote in here. Since then I've closed one of my first big sales and have had several good meetings that are somewhat encouraging for me as far as this business is concerned. I finished my CFP coursework, which meant that I could go ahead and register for the CFP exam, which I did, and which I ( Read more... )

I finally finished all of my CFP coursework, so now I'm lined up to study for the month of June, study for a good portion of July (when I'm not on the honeymoon, of course) and then give the CFP Board Exam the old College Try(tm) in late July. I had several good meetings. Many of them are going to be returning, ( Read more... )

It was a very fun weekend. Mel's commencement was on Saturday, so we went to that (with our families) after we had breakfast at First Watch. After commencement was a light lunch and then watching Wallace and Grommit and the Curse of the Were Rabbit (which is an excellent movie, for those who haven't seen it). Then we headed for Leavenworth for ( Read more... )

I just wanted to let everyone know that there is a new LJ group called Midwest Field Crumpets. If you're a player, or want to try it sometime, check it out.

It's been a good week so far. Saturday John and I headed out to Lawrence for a draft. We missed the main show, but a few people stayed around to draft with us after. I went 4-0 in games (2-0 in matches) and ended up drawing with someone else who went 2-1 in matches (and who I beat in the first round) because Joel had already left at that point, ( Read more... )

John and I both had a free evening tonight. John and I decided this evening to head over to Collector's Cache and play in the free Friday Night Tournament there. It was the first time either of us had played in a constructed tournament in about 2 years. ( if you happen to be a magic nerd... )
