View From the Bushes

Well I had hoped to post from GenCon, but as it turns out, the extent of my internet connection was a dial-up at the hotel, which might have worked if I spent any time at the hotel, but mostly I only returned to get my six hours of sleep before heading back into the fray that was GenCon. I'm hoping to post a complete report tommorrow, but for now I just want to let everyone know I'm still alive before I go to bed.

As usual, my kids got sick while I was gone. I think it might be psychosomatic. I am the best dad ever so it's completely understandable that my kids would be so distraught at my departure that they would fall ill. They perked right up tonight when I brought them their gifts. One of the things I never get a chance to do anymore is play board games, so it was very enjoyable to get the chance to play a couple at the con. The first game I played was El Grande where my good buddy Wil Upchurch kicked my butt.

The next night we played Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers where Wil once again kicked my butt, but not quite as badly this time. Along with getting humiliated by Wil, I got the chance to meet his girlfriend Bree, who was quite delightful, and I can only assume took pity on me by allowing me to come in second when we played Carcassonne. In any case, like I said, with any luck I'll have a complete report with some picture posted tommorrow.
