The past 8 months have been an interesting time for us all, the COVID impact on society very well felt to this point. This is not going to be a post about masks or media or anything like that. Instead, it's a post about survival for the most part. Survival on a mental level. And taking advantage of an opportunity. But first, a little backstory ( ( Read more... )

Things are somewhat quiet tomorrow morning, but I'll take that as a chance to perhaps get some things done. I have to ship a package off that I should've sent late last week. There's some cleaning, and I've even been staring at some HeroClix mod work (that has become easier to do with my purchase of glue...no idea where my other stuff ended up ( Read more... )

Another week in the books. For a change, the weekend is somewhat low key. Might get some more Dungeons & Dragons in, as well as a gathering for my grandfather's birthday. Other than that, we'll see what the days bring.

So, with today being Easter Monday it was a great opportunity to get together for some Dungeons & Dragons. Surprisingly, none of us died...though two of us were close on more than one occasion. Such is the joy of being in another realm/plane of existence ( Read more... )

Been a good few days, but since I didn't have anything to really post, I simply didn't. That's turned this one into hitting on a few subjects ( Read more... )

Can I get a box for it? It's cold!I don't care if it's cold, it's a freakin' possum and I wasn't about to do anything to encourage it coming around our yard more than it already has (Carla has seen it before, but this was my first view of the vermin). It's funny that we have very few arguments about anything, but this was turning into one ( ( Read more... )

I'm kidding. I would however like his tail to be three inches shorter than it is. If that were the case, my eye wouldn't be watery and sore right now. Oh well, time for bed. On top of rounding out the work week I have the first of what is either a three or four day D&D venture.
