I was very tempted to give up on mini-wrimo this year and just not write at all after Extra Life. My heart didn't seem into it, or anything and today I simply felt too tired (I blame Extra Life and the time change, and will go to bed shortly). But then I turned my computer… Continue reading Should I continue to try to write every day?

And I dare say, I did a decent enough job at getting donations that I'm not disappointed. We did start dozing off a bit during the last few games of the 25 hours of gaming, this morning, and I did neglect to blog post yesterday, but I did kind of expect that that was likely… Continue reading Well Extra Life is done for another year…

So if you're a fan of helping kids, in particular sick kids in hospitals such as the Stollery Children's Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta, I highly recommend donating to my Extra Life fundraiser. Starting at 8am EDT tomorrow and ending at 8am EST Sunday (6am MDT and 6am MST locally), Jon and I will be playing… Continue reading Oh gosh Extra Life is in mere HOURS!

So this evening I took a 10K Pokemon GO walk. My goal initially was just to hatch my 5K egg, but then I figured why not hatch a second one, instead of just the first such egg and then I kept walking to get home. The downside of this, is that I was wearing my… Continue reading On games…

Which isn't really a good start to the month. But really, life is busy and I do have a hard time slowing down. At least if I'm busy lately it's partially an active kind of busy what with gym outings at least once a month with Jon and quite a lot of Pokemon GO walking… Continue reading Nearly forgot to write today too

… and already I am forgetting to write. Glad I remembered eventually, as it is my first day of trying to write every day in November. This is my first attempt at using the LJ app. Not sure if i will switch over to medium at some point rather than attempting to blog here, but… Continue reading First day of November…

For quite some time now, I've been interested in attending Gen Con. And this year, for the first time, I did. I joined Jon, Cathy, Pete, Lindsay, Jon, and Kathy for a great trip to the Indianapolis area and some wonderful gaming experiences. While there, I did cross paths with one person I knew from… Continue reading My first Gen Con adventure! #GenCon2016

So I keep mulling over the idea of starting up a new blog on the Medium platform instead of continuing this one, and then I just choose to keep writing here partly for comfort's sake. I mean I've written here since January 2004 and it still works. Today I called in sick to work, which… Continue reading Food and health… delicious and dangerous

… with the noteworthy exception of November 7th when I was doing Extra Life. Blogging mored has meant a better focus on some aspects of my life, but also the redevelopment of a good habit. There's certainly no guarantee or plan for me to write quite as much in the other months of the year,… Continue reading Made it! Blogged nearly every day in November…

… stop burning my tongue. This is the downside of so many warm liquids and foods in general. I want it and I want it now (gosh I can be impatient!). But I ought to be more patient because foods are more tasty when my tastebuds aren't injured by my hot foods. … apply to… Continue reading This winter, I need to…
