40 years ago: My pal was born! Happy birthday, Nik!
20 years ago: The Berlin Wall fell! Take that, you commie motherfuckers!
13 years ago: My Sweet Angel, Grace, in a moment of either lost sanity or saintlike charity, married me in Reno, Nevada.
Sweetheart, it has been a wonderful 13 years. I love you, My Little Owl Finch Of Passion!

The Triumphant, But Not Wholly Unexpected, Return Of Mostly Purple Patty
…and her pet conch, Edward
Ok…I’m going to actually do a substantive post today. Here goes.
1: Happy Birthday Yesterday to my Mom! She is 81 and still full of piss and vinegar.
2: We took The Girls to the beach at Fort Bragg on Sunday. They were totally unimpressed by it, so we only stayed about 15-20 minutes. The drive up through the Napa Valley was very nice, as was the drive back along Highway 20. We did 5 mystery shops along our 430 mile round trip, so the cost of gas and food was covered.
Mostly, we did this day trip for two reasons: to get outta Sacramento for a day and to see how Winker and Lucy would do on a long car trip. They did very well indeed, altho they were a couple of pooped pooches by the time we got home.
Here are some pix…

3: Besides my mom, a shitload of other folks I know seem to have June birthdays. A few are hitting the big Four Oh this year. I shall try to remember to wish y’all happy birthdays as your day rolls around.
4: Must go walk the hounds now. Dungeon Delving post arriving in under an hour.
Attack Of The Mutant Wiener Dogs
…with laser beams!
Happy birthday to muskrat_john, whom I first met at GenCon in 1991. I hope you have a good one, buddy!
Ya know, for an unemployed bum, I’ve got a fuckin’ busy day ahead of me. First up is a visit to Dr. Yen’s Anti-Psoriasis House Of Fun, then I have to ::REDACTED::…TWICE, then I have to buy groceries and pay (and by “pay” I mean “send a minimal token to”) some bills, THEN I’ve got to wash these two lovable but funky smelling hounds and THEN I have to wash dishes and laundry. I’ll let My Sweet Little Thirteen Lined Ground Squirrel Of Passion cook dinner.
And now, I’m outta here. More Blog-O-Rama later.

Great Gobs O’ Stuff
Happy Birthday to robin_d_laws, who is, I assure you, as fine a fellow as you’ll ever meet and one of the best game designers in the history of the art form.
The Second Village Poll is closed and megdeon and boundfate missed Last Call. I shall personally fill in the blanks on their characters later. The next Village Poll will go up very soon and be open to all.
Grace and I went to see City of Ember yesterday. We both really enjoyed it. Plenty of action, an interesting setting, likeable characters and a giant mutant star nosed mole. What more could you want?
My small winter veggie garden is doing well, altho the spinach has yet to poke it’s head above the soil. The peas, carrots, radishes and lettuce are all above ground (well, most of each radish and carrot is underground) and growing like crazy.
Sunday was game day and the PC’s did the following…
Rescued the Breeder Slaves from their cruel captivity
Had a fast paced and scary escape down the underground Forbidden River
Helped the former slaves establish a small community
Followed their dream given directions to a small village that not only got bigger as the days passed, but got more racially and economically diverse, too.
Found out that the village was populated by tulpa like entities, who needed the PC’s to stay among them for a week in order for the villagers and the village to become corporeal and “real”.
Left the village with many fine gifts (including a cool expandable chuck wagon/camper pulled by two mini triceratops) and the villagers undying respect and love.
Proceeded to make a beeline to a rumored ruined fort, where, they were sure they would find fortune and glory.
Found the ruins, but instead of fortune and glory, triggered a bit of magical critical mass and caused the mage of the group to give birth to the first elementals…in one case, literally.
Hauled ass out of the elemental homeland and into the hills.
We will play again in two weeks, at which point I expect the PC’s will once again find themselves neck deep in adventure.
More stuff, with a 30% chance of nonsense, later
Terrible Toads
…mean and violent they was, guv
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GRACE!
You are the best, sweetheart!
I love you.
