Surprise visit from Christina!
We should’ve had our picture taken for this post! Drat! Never mind, I was thrilled to have a last-minute, surprise visit from my friend Christina! We go back to the days of Dynamic Graphics in the early Nineties. Since she’s … Continue reading
Rest in Peace: Loren Wiseman
Loren was a co-worker during my brief time at GDW and before I joined the game publisher, I only had a passing recollection of his name via the numerous products I had purchased (Traveller and 2300 AD). After I moved back to … Continue reading
Belated birthday to Steve (aka Stvee)!
I was pre-occupied with other crises on Friday but I think the card we sent arrived on time. This really hit the spot of what Stvee likes. 2016 is special too. We met 25 years ago at GenCon (when it … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Christina!
Here’s to my friend who mastered speaking two additional languages in an English-speaking desert! Aka Central IL. She also taught me the Jedi Mind trick for job interviews, ask me someday. I managed to find a lion-themed card for against … Continue reading
Happy 13th anniversary Kim and Rad!
The wedding that preceded ours happened today. It’s one of the few weekends I wouldn’t mine being trapped in a brief Groundhog Day loop re-enjoying. Sure, Austin weather is great this time of year compared to the Midwest, where I think … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Chance!
I think he’s 15 now but maybe his dad can clue me in while playing the Beatles’ tune and I’m telepathically send Weird Al’s “Happy Birthday” number. Hoping he’s having a good time despite having to go to school at … Continue reading
Happy Birthday to Steve, aka Stvee, my artist bud!
My friend Steve Bryant’s birthday is always a bright spot in the dog days of August, or for the younger crowd, when they have to return to prison (aka school). Things appear to be looking good for him. He had … Continue reading
Bonne Anniversaire Christina!
The 27th is always a great and eventful day. My trilingual friend who turned out to be the best legacy of working at DG celebrates her special day (I already knew Rad via Stvee, he doesn’t count). What’s the plan? … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Radman!
The coolest, calmest, most zen dude I’ve ever met. Plus he almost kicked a homeless guy’s ass when he pulled a suspicious move on me. It was my fault. I wasn’t taunting the dude, I was just trying to converse … Continue reading
Happy 12th Anniversary Kim and Rad!
I should’ve suspected why the weather was very nice in Austin today! It was their day and I’m hoping Phoenix followed suit. Their wedding is always pretty special to me. It was a reunion with some friends we had in … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Chance!
He’s officially a teenager today! In my tiny mind, kids aren’t teens until they turn 14. Despite the -teen ending in 13, that year is the shakedown cruise period. We’ve sent him a card (late) and I’ll follow up with … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Steve!
My friend and charter fan-club member celebrates today. Well, I celebrate in my own way. I’m confident Steve has his own plans with Chance (his son) and someone special (I rudely forget her name, d’oh!). We in Austin send him … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Christina!
It’s under the wire because July 27th was a bigger day than usual as you’ll see over the next several days. I do want to kick things off with a big shout-out for my trilingual and awesome friend Christina the Recruiter. … Continue reading
All children want to be eaten first!
For when Mickeythulhu awakens from his slumber under Anaheim, well just says it isn’t going to be pretty. My sensei and friend Lester here wearing a little gift I threw his away via TeeFury. He digs horror plus I gave … Continue reading
Happy Birthday Radman!
The only good resident of Phoenix I know, OK, his family counts too. A great person, a talented artist and a kick-ass martial artist who almost had to demonstrate his real prowess against a homeless dude in Milwaukee. I think … Continue reading
