    Will be a bit distracted and absent for the next week or so, with a visit from my father. He lives quite a distance away, naturally isn’t as young as he used to be, and with recent Covid issues, has been unable to extensively travel. As such, we have not seen them in nearly two…

    For something completely different, we nearly added a 3rd dog to our family today. My wife, on the way to drop off the son at school, found a labrador puppy wandering the streets loose. Preventing the inevitable roadside collision, she picked it up and brought it home. There, our other dogs, Scully (a small terrier…

    Enjoying family time tonight, as the kids go out trick-or-treating for Beggar’s Night.  Ben is very happy with his inflatable gorilla costume, and it looks like George will recycle his “dead guy” costume from last year.  As usual, the grandparents will be over to help hand out candy, and we will no doubt have pizza. …

    Had a fun mini-vacation with the family over the weekend, attending Gencon this year.  We only went for the Sunday “family day”, mainly to save a bit on cost, but realized after the fact that that may just not be enough time any longer.  It used to be that a single day was enough to…

    Despite great plans to the contrary, I ended up not being as productive over the holidays as I had intended.  Initially, I had lots of plans for getting caught up on videos and podcasts, painting miniatures, gaming, and various other activities.  I actually ended up barely touching the video content, only painting a fraction of…

    It’s my birthday today, and enjoying some time with family. Continuing our new tradition of seeing Star Wars in the theatre, and then likely dinner and pie or something similar.

    Attending a cousin’s wedding this weekend in Indiana, should be a good time.  Unfortunately, my editing of the Pathfinder game will take another delay, but hopefully I can still get it finished before next weekend.  Doesn’t help that I am scheduled to be back in Toledo next week as well, which makes all the computer…

    It was a fun filled weekend, as is common with my Dad’s visit.  However, due to the compressed schedule, I need a bit of time to recover.  My dad typically arrives late on Thursday, and stays until Sunday, during which time we try to pack in as many activities and events as possible, including swimming,…
