Happy Fathers’ Day to all the dads out there. Oh, and word to the mothers too.
Since I knew I’d be gone on Saturday and doing my level best to sleep in on Sunday, I obliged my son’s new-found obsession with The Legend Of Zelda (both the game and the cartoon) by making him a sword and a shield out of a cardboard box on Friday night:
Obi has a bucket.
Due to all the VWORPing going on around here, the time-space coordinates of the contents of the white bucket have been distorted a bit. But trust me when I say that some of the rarest goodies at OVGE will be found here. … Read more
It seems like, for nearly every OVGE I attend, there’s one Cool Idea that falls through the cracks – something I just ran out of time or money to execute properly. This is one of those. But I might just save it for some unspecified point in the future. … Read more
Little E and I went to eat at the park again the other day, and as usual, the regulars were hanging out, waiting for us. In case maybe we wanted to share our lunch.
As I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed an occasional fascination with reading up on stuff that scared the hell out of me as a kid, even if the scare-the-hell-out-of-me factor was impossibly silly and irrational.

I think that may actually set a new record for me: I’m finished figuring out what to bring a week out, rather than freaking out the night before. (There have been a couple of years where my theme was decided, and signage and other graphical aids designed and printed to match, literally the night before.) Of course, now the trick is to not spend the next few days second-guessing myself. … Read more
For those interested (which is probably an amazingly small number): for some reason, Facebook is not allowing me to update my status, comment, like, lick, spin, dodge, parry, or thrust. It will allow me to update theLogBook’s page, and apparently it will allow me to post links, but that’s it.
For those who wonder why I post stuff on my blog and link to the blog from Facebook… this is a pretty good example of why.… Read more
