Hmmmm
Two months since I have posted an entry...
Well there are a couple of excuses...reasons for this...maybe more than a couple
In no particular order...
Work
You know...I have always liked my job; I am good at it which helps, but the benefits are good the hours very flexible and they don't work me too hard, except when they do. Through no fault of my own I got caught in a political issue at work with someone waaaaaaay up the food chain from me. If you are going to do this...keep it on or close to your level. When you get involved with someone an order of magnitude or two above you, being right doesn't matter. I have spent the past two months under the Sword of Damocles. As time passes it appears the danger isn't so imminent and I can breath easier.
StuGIII.com
My hobby website; all about German WWII assault guns, assault artillery and tank destroyers. A labor of love to be certain. It is full of the kind of information that I would be looking for. I have spent a lot of time on it in December. I hate it when I go to a site and find it incomplete and no has updated it in years... So I try to do something each month.
Kids
My children, I love them to death... but it is a lot of work to make sure they have the things they need, to try to remember my algebra so I can help/check their homework (although I find the history assignments I can really help with). One thing I have noticed is their homework is much harder than the homework I had at their age (not that I did mine). I suspect that this has to do with the internet...with all that information at their fingertips, the questions need to be harder...
My Hobbies
Oh look a bunny... That would be funnier if it weren't so true. I have a great example; in 2004-05 GW came out with a new codex for Tyranids in 40K. I love Tyranids... I had a well painted army I was happy with. The new codex was really complicated...so many options...too many choices...and some of the new changes invalidated a large part of my army. So...I sold it; lock, stock and codex.
No more Bugs for me! I tossed the Hive Mind out of my 40K world.
From time to time I would visit Warpshadow.com and read the articles. In late fall last year, something in my tiny brain clicked on (the Hive Mind?). I kept thinking about how much I liked 'nids.
Without turning this into a Mitchner novel, I now own approx 2750 pts of new 'nids; Go figure?
I have also been tinkering with WWI air rules. I may run a demo game at Orccon in Feburary, then again maybe not.
I think I am done for now...
Be sure to tune in next week, same 'nid channel, same 'nid time...
