We Play Different Games
I am three days away from Sabbatical, tomorrow is July 4th, and Senator Murkowski of Alaska voted for a bill she knows will hurt Americans across the country but because she got some treats for Alaska its fine if the rest of the country burns. I’ve got a headache and the “stop shoving your politics…

The Scheduler Strikes
School is out, I’m three weeks from the start of my sabbatical, and we’re apparently living in a reality TV show which shows how fast insecure people can set the world on fire. But I’ve got coffee, games to play, family I love, and friends I value. Somehow these things help my brain cut through…

The More Things Change…
It’s June. Wildfire smoke is setting off air quality alerts, Covid is still a thing, and the director of Homeland security has said the troops are in LA to “liberate it” from its elected officials.

To settle my misbehaving synapses I’m guiding their random firings to more pleasant destinations—probably forgetting to do more tasks in the process. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Mishaps
Temperatures are rising, allergies are subsiding, and coffee is getting expensive. While I can still afford to have caffeine as part of my regular boot-up sequence I’m enjoying the random flashes of cognition which convince my mind it’s lucid. These are random TTRPG thoughts.

Moments of Affirmation
It’s May. The sandpaper I’ve had in my eyes for the past two months is beginning to fade, and my allergy-triggered anxiousness has been reduced to a quiet simmer. The coffee has been brewed, and as the morning quiet gives me pause my brain begins its daily routine of chasing shiny objects. These are random…
Roll some dice.
