Title


So...to start off with I'm fine, everyone is fine.

About two years ago my car got sandwiched between two others and that's how I wound up buying my nice new car.

On Thursday my nice new car got sandwiched between two others and now I need to get a new car.

I'm ready for new life experiences now please.

Epidiah Ravachol are you going to JiffyCon East in November?

Epidiah Ravachol are you going to JiffyCon East in November?  I just dug up Darkwood -- the Robin Hood-esque RPG that I have.  It's totally a product of the mid-90's but you might find it interesting as a reference tool.  There's a huge section covering medieval England.  I'll bring it along if you're interested.

#1066; Well Isn’t That Nice


I had a similar idea.  It seems like it'd be very theraputic.

To begin with (unlike the text from my sister), my dad is basically fine.

To begin with (unlike the text from my sister), my dad is basically fine.  However yesterday he was working on a scaffold that collapsed out from under him.  The scaffold was low, only man high, so it's not as bad as it could've been.  But apparently he got banged up, there were some cuts/abrasions and this morning he's really sore.

Still...the guy is in his 70's and I'm kinda hoping I have that sort of resilience when I'm his age, the common sense not to go fooling around on scaffolds by myself and the money to hire attractive, competent young people to do that sort of work for me while I admire their...,,competency,,.

OK, so recently I picked up a bottle of coconut syrup to sweeten my morning oatmeal.

OK, so recently I picked up a bottle of coconut syrup to sweeten my morning oatmeal.  It's...kinda meh.  It's sweet and it's got hints of coconut flavor, but there's also something a little sharp about it that I can't explain.

For all that, it's not so awful that I'm not going to finish it.  The reason that I'm not buying any more of the stuff is that it's like a super-fluid.  It's incredibly viscous so you have strings and strands of syrup everywhere when you pour it and then it seems to climb up and out of the bottle and leave sticky rings everywhere you put it down.  Just a real mess.
