    Its been nearly two months since I last posted any updates, and many things have changed in the world. A new president was elected, covid continues to rage and grow, we moved into a new home, and I was promoted at work. With the start of the new year and the conclusion of our move,…

    About this time last year, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic, an event that rather significantly has now adjusted my life. Initially, the direction from the doctor was some medication, and an effort to reduce and eliminate sugared foods.

    I tend to not post much about my professional work, mainly because it has little to do with my hobby efforts.

From there, we move into hopefully cosmetics and other finishing touches, hopefully still on target for a closing date near the end…

    During this extended transition, I have continued to be active collecting and preparing for my various Star Wars games, to include Legion, Armada, and X-Wing. For Legion, beyond collecting a number of additional expansions, we have branched out into the Clone Wars expansion. Those forces are limited to just the core set thus far (the…

    Our other primary campaign, and the longer running one of the two, is our ongoing Age of Ashes campaign. This is our bi-weekly Sunday game, though recent conflicts with the Scouting activities has caused some gaps. The group is currently level 10, located in the city of Kintargo, in the midst of Chapter 3. After…

    As an update to one of our two Pathfinder campaigns, we continue to progress thru the Extinction Curse campaign path. Our schedule is still bi-weekly on Fridays, though sports activities have caused a skipped game here and there. The group is currently in the midst of Chapter 2, working their way thru the mysteries of…
