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

Low point since last

What I learned: My
daughter knows some wonderfully useless trivia.
