View From the Bushes

Basically the adventure is done, but I had some problems with one of the freelancers I was using, so it's going to be delayed until tommorrow. However it will definitely be up then, and with any luck it will be up fairly early. Though my wife is leaving me with the four kids tommorrow afternoon/evening so I may have to add the last of the art after that. I will also do my normal spiel on how great this latest adventure at that time. Though let me just tell you the premise for this one is actually pretty sweet.

Other than working on the adventure, and old friend of mine is in town today. I managed to break away from DireKobold long enough to have a nice lunch and dinner with him and play a round of my favorite new game Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers. I managed to win by a pretty handy margin by controlling just about the only field in the game. I like the game because it plays fairly quickly once you've figured it out. The whole game could be played by a set of experienced players in 30 minutes.

I guess some of you out there who know me (and is there anyone else who reads this blog?) wonder where I got the time to do all of this. The answer is that I took the day off. I have a pretty nice amount of PTO (paid time off), 17 days to be exact, but a big chunk of it is taken up with conventions I would like to go to (GenCon, Origins, GAMA) and then there's the obligatory family vacations, so what's left is not much, but I'm glad I took today off, it was a much needed break. Now hopefully I won't feel like I'm on the verge of a headache 24 hours a day, and my urge to kill will gradually fade.
