I am done done done with my practicum. Put in my last day at the Cave yesterday, then Tim and I went out to lunch and just shot the breeze for a while. Not going to lie. It feels pretty good to be done with this ( Read more... )

I only went to a few SYRs after the summer dramasplosion, not as a result of that nonsense, but because the venue was incredibly uncomfortable (very hot) and Sunday afternoons became reserved for homework and football. Got asked to run something at an upcoming SYR by the group organizer, and since the only football game left is the Super Bowl and ( Read more... )

Got clobbered in my first Armada tournament on Saturday. Got in a few good licks, didn't totally embarass myself, but lost both games. Learned some things and got a nice pack of prizes (one advantage to small turnouts, I guess), and got to clown around with some friends ( Read more... )

It may not be top-shelf work, and I don't like the idea of relying on the second stage of the assignment to make up for what I'm ( Read more... )

I've wound up  with a pretty good pool of players and characters for my Star Wars game. Had to have a quick talk about tone and expectations with a couple, but they seem to be on board now. First playing session is Friday (7/30) night ( Read more... )

I won't - almost can't - mourn the death of Antonin Scalia. The man was clearly intelligent and well-spoken, but as The Onion put it, he lost a 30-year battle with progress. This year's Presidential election has become even more important ( Read more... )

A year ago yesterday, I left the Lexington Herald-Leader, where I had worked for over fourteen years. I've made some mistakes on the path since leaving, but in every instance, I believe that I have fallen forward. I do not regret it.

Netflix released their Daredevil adaptation on Friday. I've watched four episodes so far, and I am mightily ( Read more... )
