View From the Bushes

This is one of those days when I sit down in front of the blank computer screen and nothing jumps out at me; nothing screams "Write about me!" I have been spending more time on the ENWorld Messageboards lately. It's a pretty friendly bunch over there. A couple of the Admins where having trouble getting to GenCon and the messageboard members took up a collection and surprised them by paying for their trip.

I myself contributed mostly because I think I really flubbed my first impression at last years GenCon and I wanted a chance to give it another shot. It shouldn't surprise anyone that I ended up making a bad first impression. That sort of thing has traditionally been one of my weak points. I'm not sure what it is I think I try to hard and end up coming across as a very ernest, very annoying, somewhat creepy geek.

In any event I think I may have managed to make it to the third paragraph without saying anything at all, so I'll toss in a quick quote and voila another uninspiring entry:

Most people give up just when they're about to achieve success. They quit on the one yard line. They give up at the last minute of the game one foot from a winning touchdown.
