GenCon Day One: Rhyssa’s Journey into Geekdom
A day-by-day wrap-up of my visit to GenCon Indy this year with Grimwell, The Muse and their children and CmdrSlack and his fiancee. These wrap-ups have also been posted over at GamerGod along with Grimwell’s and CmdrSlack’s observations. —————————— I was apparently the only one of our group who managed to arrive at our hotel […]

The Wonderful Wizards of the Coast! AKA GenCon Indy. I’m officially on vacation (started today! Whoo!) and am packing up the truck to head down tomorrow. I’m sharing a room with Grimwell and Family and CmdrSlack and Fiancee, so things will be a wee bit crowded at night (5 adults, 3 kids, 2 queen beds, […]

How do you say goodbye to a part of your life? How can you do it when it feels like your heart is being ripped from your chest? I had to do that tonight. I had to let go and say goodbye to my precious baby dog. After 9 1/2 years, I’ll never again see […]

Well, I’ve been wandering around in WoW, just playing and dinking around with other characters once again. I’m not rushing to level any of my alts though, because I’m enjoying the leveling process again. I’m trying to do and find quests that I didn’t complete the first time around, or do see how the class […]
