Cancelled our Tabletop day
This last weekend was our scheduled bi-weekly tabletop day, where we routinely play Zombicide, Star Wars Armada, Magic the Gathering or any of a number of other games. Instead, we opted to cancel the games, and instead spend time with our respective Mom’s (or in my case, my wife). As a family, we did end…

May the 4th (be with you)
Today of course marks the Star Wars-geek holiday of May 4th, with the subtle pun on the well known Star Wars phrase. Being a die-hard Star Wars fan since a young age, I do enjoy all things Star Wars. However, I have over the last year or two rapidly developed a bit of ambivalence to…

Farewell, Gwenivere

by
Yesterday the time came for my long lasting best friend and pet Gwenivere to pass away. She was my first “on my own” dog, and a steady companion since she was just a puppy some 17 years ago. For a Labrador, she had a very long and filled life, she never gained weight that is…

Updated Email functionality
As part of my recent work on the website, I have also overhauled the email functionality of the site. WordPress is deployed with a default php based email, which is functional, but (from my digging) unreliable. In my case, I suspect it has failed entirely, since I rarely receive emails from the website any longer. …
