Because I’m dreadful with dates, I thought the final Seadragons game of the season was on Saturday, so we arranged for friends to look after our girls… and then I realized the game was on the Sunday, so we went to see the Dungeons & Dragons movie instead. (Fun, but too scary for our 9 […]

This evening I drove over to Kenmore and had a game of Blood Bowl, a tough match against dwarves where my sprightly, evil little elves trounced them 2-1, before I drove home, starving hungry, and had a terrible match online where I lost 3-0 in an avalanche of cruel dice. And on to the next […]

We made our bed today, and Frogmorton was in hunting mode, which meant after trying to claw my hand he hid under the sheets and prowled like some kind of bedridden shark, striking without mercy and seeming to have a sharp and vicious mouth at either end of his body. What a lovely boy he […]

My parents and my sister came to stay with us two weeks ago, and I’m surprised how that managed to disrupt writing my blog entirely, but I suppose up ending my daily routine, and having Spring Break, and freaking out about the tax filing deadline as well, were a few distractions. Anyway, today was their […]

It rained all day today, which wasn’t so great. Jetlagged, everyone woke up very early, and I spent some of the day driving people around, rather than have them pay Uber drivers for umpteen trips. I went with my sister, her friend and her daughter, and my wife, over to University Village. Starving hungry, we […]

The plane landed two minutes early, while I was still motoring down to SeaTac. It turns out that the car parks are jam-packed on Wednesday mornings, and I only found a space when I spotted a man being helped out of a wheelchair into the back of a truck, then sat for five minutes waiting […]

The house is tidied, I have two weeks off work, and in about twelve hours a plane should disgorge my parents and sister into SeaTac airport. Meanwhile Frogmorton has been exploring; out on his leash today, La Serpiente took him down the street, and although initially he was too cautious to descend the steps from […]

We got another light switch fitted today, so now we can switch on the lights in the corridor between my office and the family room from either end of the corridor. No more stumbling through the dark, trying to find a light switch (or switching the light out and then being in the dark!) Happy […]

I’ve had a pain going down the side of my leg for a week, but today that stopped. Instead, my lower back hurts, but I guess a change is as good as a rest… La Serpiente’s bicycle was finished today, so we drove down to REI and picked it up, and then the two of […]

This morning I got up at 6:30 and drove down to Camas, near the Oregon border, to run a Blood Bowl tournament. This was a bit exhausting, as it took three hours (with the car almost running out of power a mile from the venue) and then I had to drive back too on the […]
