Karma... don't mess with it.

I had been fuming about my steam not working quite a bit. It was kinda natural, since I had been using it to play HOMM5 pretty hard the last couple of weeks. So, denied, I was furious.

It never occurred to me that I might be better off without it working.

No, I'm not talking baout the mysterious reasons Valve had to disable my account. I'm talking about more important people... like my father.

My father's birthday is Feb 28. And, lost in my games and my own life, I had been barely thinking about it at all, I'm ashamed to admit. He told me, quite a bit ago, what he wanted... and I lost the paper that was complete with the internet address to order it. And I hadn't given it more than a few passing thoughts since.

Until, quite randomly, I woke up, and a recalled what Saturday was. And part of me felt like my frustrations the past while were in some twisted way just punishment for my negligence as a son. So, i wracked my brain for a goo dgift for my old man, called my mother to find out what was going on first thing in the morning, and shilled out to gt my fathra gift I was sure he'd love.

And, that day I enjoyed some good gaming with Chris. The next day my game worked when I got home. And I had an enjoyable evening of magic.

I mention a lot that these things seem to happen in my life. Selflessness and compassion rewarded by strange coincidence. And it is tough, but fair.

Goodnight.
