Saying Goodbye
This Saturday will mark the end of one of the longest AD&D campaigns ever. My friend Mike and I started a Forgotten Realms campaign in 1986 ( gray box era ). It has run continually since then. We would meet every Saturday for 4-5 hours of fun at the beginning. Over the years friends have come and gone, children have joined…

Alphas
Anyone else watch this show? I watched the entire first season last year, was hard to remember the characters and storylines, because SYFY never re-ran it. Anyway, I think its a much better storyline than the inevitable comparison to Heroes. ( Although, I thought The 4400 was better than that even ). I noticed that SYFY is…

RIP Donald Sobol

Trolling
This is my preferred way of fishing. We don't have any deep rivers in Nebraska, so I like to get the boat out on the resevoirs and just drift with the lines in the water. This is so much better than casting from the shore. How do you like to fish?

Low tech geek
Anyone else here feel like technology has passed them by? I own a Samsung U820 flip phone that I got new in 2006. It has less than 50 hours of calls on it. The Television in my living room ( the only TV i own ) is a 27" Magnavox that I purchased in 1993. I do have a DVD player, but own only 6 DVD's ( Watchmen & the 5…

Parking Rant
So I was going to the local Y ( my gym ) last night and I noticed 3 vehicles driving around the parking lot jockeying for the closest parking space they could find. The weather was nice, no rain. Anyone else think that this is counter-productive to exercise? you would think that people wouldn't care how close they would…
