Easily Bored

I was invited to a gaming day today, and it was a lovely time. Unfortunately the game, Iron Dragon, had a ton of down time between turns and I had no idea when I went up there.

Had I known I might've brought a book, or a journal, or something else to do between turns. As it was, I got distracted more than once and ended up drawing on myself with some of the vis-a-vis markers we were using for the game.

Most of the company was good (I might have been a bit cranky as the night wore on) and the game seemed like a great deal of fun.

Just a Thought

I prefer to believe that his faults, though long continued, are not eternal; and I cannot think that he who does good is the enemy of virtue.

Swimming Lessons

Started my swimming lessons tonight.

Not sure I'm in the right class. There are two people that are afraid of the water and one person that is totally unable to float at all. Of course it was just the first class and we have five weeks to really get what we want out of the class. I'm really looking forward to more in the coming weeks.

Just a Thought

There was no wail, no bark of newborn outrage. The child opened its mouth, breathed, and then kept its own counsel. "Whine, you fiend," said the crone, "it's your first job." The baby shirked its obligations.
