Again with the blog delays

This time it’s all my fault. The weekend was spent in Anaheim, CA, attending GenCon SoCal for the first time. Got a good deal on the trip, so I decided to head out and help out running the booth and tournaments for Comic Images. While there, I picked up a couple of Utilikilts, some of the coolest clothing ever. At some point I’m sure there will be kilted pictures, but not today. 🙂

This week is back to work, trying to wrap up old projects and get into new ones. The tech here at MTSU is less than cutting edge, and we’re fixing the sins of the past about half the time. But it’s still going well…I like the people I work with, and aside from the drive it’s a great job.

Next weekend we’re heading to B’s family, to help her dad do some Xmas shopping. Seems like we haven’t had a weekend without an event in so long…don’t remember the last time the two of us were home together on a weekend.
