Keith's non-spoiler review of "Taken"

You are a 20th level ranger, specialized in fighting kobolds. A band of 0 level kobolds has stolen your daughter. Go!
Alternatively, Taken, the RPG. There is only one stat: Awesomeness. Any clever or violent action you attempt requires a d20 roll. The amount by which you roll under your Awesomeness stat determines your amount of [...]

Recuperation

 Doing better today. I can limp slowly and confidently without the walking stick. I took the opportunity to do some things around the house that needed fixing. I re-caulked the kitchen counters and refinished the windowsills. (Well, applied a coat of urethane, anyway.) And laundry. And shopping. And worked with my daughter's first grade class. And took [...]

Ouch

So I took skiing lessons this winter, as I have mentioned before. I have actually gotten to the point where I pretty much go where I intend to go, start and stop when I want and don't fall down.
So we plan this big ski trip. I'm very excited. I've never done this sort of thing [...]

Sadness

I have heard rumblings that the Religious Exploration (Sunday School) program at my church may be cut. This makes me sad, since I am the RE Director.
It's entirely budget driven, and pledges are down this year. General membership has also dwindled, making RE a very attractive budget item to ax. On top of everything, this [...]

Flock

So I'm trying this new browser, called Flock. I tried 1.0 before and wasn't terribly impressed. The 2.0 version seems to have worked out a lot of the kinks. It's a browser that is designed around managing web 2.0 sites. You can keep little sidebars of facebook, myspace, twitter, etc. You can drag photos from [...]

Deer update

They just walked by as the snow started again. Here are some shots taken from the office window and from the deck. Shortly after this they walked downhill into the park.

You better watch out…

These are deer tracks we discovered this morning. My daughter has a friend spending the night. The girls are convinced Santa sent a reindeer to check up on them…

To my wife

I'd just like take a moment to say that fifteen years ago yesterday was the happiest day of my life. Thank you Sweetheart. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.

OK, my turn

Dissapointment

So our group has been practicing a new song for the last few months. This is in anticipation of the Veterans Day ceremony out at the Coast Guard station. Pretty big venue; over a thousand people in the audience.
Well, first they got our name wrong on the program. Not a big deal, it was pretty [...]
