Lemme 'Splain... No that would take to long. Lemme sum up

    It has been about a week since my last post, and I should be getting better at this than worse. I have been so distracted lately, just been Mr. procrastination. so I have to work on that. I will try to recap. a bit. My daughter has passed her driver’s test and is now licensed. I trust her more now but I still think she needs more time to be comfortable behind the wheel. She is cautious, and careful, so she will not try to exceed her limitations. She plays it safe. I guess that is good for most things in her life but she will be in college soon and the on to real life. She needs to be more adventurous. what is there to say. I am very proud of her. I have a cool daughter.
 My wife has made her decision to return to the classroom. The work maybe harder but she belongs there. She is a teacher, even when she is an administrator, she is a teacher and finds such joy in working with kids. Goal is for her to get to Thomas Edison High School. They have the resources and facilities that she wants. A maker space and a principal that she sees has the vision to bring making into the classroom. I have always trusted her vision. 
I think I know what it was that was distracting me all week, gaming. that evil monkey on my back. the need to escape into running a tabletop game. I swear my endorphin level must shoot through the roof every time I get the urge to play. I had bumped into Ryan and we had a long lunch. where we talked about gaming. I let him pick the genre, and he chose Sci-Fi. I had been thinking about a story in Spacemaster. but it sounded so much better as a campaign. that take all the pressure out of writing it because I am not doing it alone. and there is no actual writing, and yet I would have my story.
    The story I wanted to write and still may was Tara Velez an exceptional student was given the research of her favorite teacher and mentor Col. Daniel Dardanelle. he had a number of good leads to find the homeworld of the Sianetic Harbingers. The race that seeded the galaxy with life. she would hire a ship with an eclectic crew and over the course of their adventures beside finding evidence to the Harbinger homeworld they would also find clues to an imminent extra dimensional invasion or incursion (have to learn the difference) of the Vlathacna an ancient and powerful force that is going to conquer the known universe and make it their own. Lots of good stuff there. The framework is perfect for a campaign. I have the patron NPC if someone did not want the job. So I think I will do both. I will write it and steal Ideas from the campaign it may work. Time is up so it ends.
High point since last post: Ari got her license.
Low point since last post: Procrastinating my ass off
What I learned: My daughter knows some wonderfully useless trivia.
