Our Gloomhaven campaign is progressing well. Some of us are even approaching retirement. It works like this: Every character has a personal quest (randomly assigned at the start), and upon completion of the quest, the character retires and you get to roll a new character. New classes are unlocked ba...

It seems like everyone’s getting covid. Dante got it from poker night with the guys. newbie got it from an irl work meetup (“An irl work meetup,” said HGR, investing every word with as much scorn as possible) and nearly missed the Uganda trip because of it.

Still enjoying hybrid life. Wednesday there was a minor transportation snafu. As I neared the platform at 7:30, I saw the train pulling out of the station. (That’s not supposed to happen. I take the 7:37.) Ten minutes later, I saw another train approaching the station. Ah, I thought, who knows what ...
Visiting parents for the weekend. It’s been nearly a full year since I came here as a refugee in the dead of night after the apartment fire. Now I have a sweet condo in a much better neighborhood, and my parents’ house is back to being an occasional vacation spot. Life is good. On Saturday night, Mo...
Last week, we made it to Hesperos 2 again—another down-to-the-wire finish. “Imagine being a sexy vampire and you turn into this,” said newbie. “Is it really so sexy?” Dante said. “It's a treatise on what people will do for power,” said numbers. Then newbie and numbers got into a debate about whether...

My phone has stopped ringing for calls. Instead it just purrs at me. It’s very annoying; I’m worried that I’ll miss an important work call because of it. I don’t know what the problem is. I double-checked all the settings. It’s set to ring and not vibrate. The ring volume is set to high (when I tap ...
Woke up at 6:40 am (five minutes before my alarm) and saw a text from my boss saying not to come into the office because of the excessive heat. FLOPS I went back to bed and conked out for two more hours. Life is good. * * * Pros to home life: So well rested! Cons to home life: Microwaving ramen in p...
Imagine leaving the house to go downtown two days in a row. What a life of luxury(?). My roommate doesn’t think so. He doesn’t want to go downtown one day in a row. But he had a follow-up appointment scheduled today. The timing is unfortunate because there’s a heat wave. My phone and desktop keep se...
