Is It Thursday Already??

I'm such a lazy shit! I've been meaning to post since Monday but....well you know how it goes. Last Friday, I finally got my bike computer back from Shimano (they actually gave me a brand new one!!). This of course coincided with the first snow of the year here in these parts........yup,freakin' perfect timing!! So now my bike's all dressed with nowhere to go. Maybe we'll still get a few freakishly warm days. One can only hope.

On the geekier side of things, my longtime friend and fellow gamer, Jam Master J - The Jackhammer of Love, sent me a link to an article on D&D which I thought was great. Here's a snippit:
Dungeons and Dragons was a not a way out of the mainstream, as some parents feared and other kids suspected, but a way back into the realm of story-telling. This was what my friends and I were doing: creating narratives to make sense of feeling socially marginal. We were writing stories, grand in scope, with heroes, villains, and the entire zoology of mythical creatures. Even sports, the arch-nemesis of role-playing games, is a splendid tale of adventure and glory. Though my friends and I were not always athletically inclined, we found agility in the characters we created. We fought, flew through the air, shot arrows out of the park, and scored points by slaying the dragon and disabling the trap.

Yes It's true, I am a D&D geek.....but proud of it damn it!! I ran a campain from 1982-1986. Ah, those were the days, when I actually had time to put into something fun.......
