Wow, guys! It feel like we just sat down over coffee or beers and had a good chat. Thank you for that.
Cluck Kent, you cracked me up with that! Envisioning a utensil, perhaps an enormous spatula, to help shift people who have congealed in place.
Mn4nu: I gave you advice? Was it any good?!? Ha!
Yes, great times with you and SSB, way back when. I haven't played in ages but the enthusiasm (i.e. insanity) around here is eroding my resistance.
@Sssith: we play first edition AD&D and you are welcome to drop in on a game any time you're in southern Arizona. In fact, a couple buddies flew in from LA two weeks ago to continue a campaign that started in the 80s. That's not typical, but it's not the first time, either.
Hey ya, Tim! Sorry to hear about your intestine, but really glad it didn't stop you from enjoying your travels. I myself had a Guinness after touring their factory in Dublin. Scratch one off the bucket list.
As for you Mr. NorthStarZon, it's great to hear from you! Peace and goodwill to you as well.
This business with wrists and computers, sometimes I just don't see how people do it. Mine burned up playing Eye of The Beholder back in the day. Glad that you were able to get some help with it.
Thanks for the good word, Orbert!
Liquid Evil, good to see you! Trying to kick ass at life? What an excellent philosophy! The only game I've played recently is kakuro, and far too much of that. The lure of it being good for one's mental acuity is a convenient built-in rationale for such a time sink.
Pixie: Were you the one who penned the excellent "Rose" story? Sorry if I got that wrong. As for having launched your kids, great job! You probably still have reflexes enough and mad skillz to pwn those punks on the console when they visit. ;-)
All this discussion of life in general and kids in particular is really thought-provoking. It's neat to imagine what would be different with a few changes to the old timeline.
Cheers!
