"Geez, dad is a police officer/super ninja!" - Tiny T-Rex, overheard in the hallway.
Time to update the resume I guess.

Cows are a southern Wisconsin thing.
I'm from the Northwoods.We don't really have milkmaids there.
The northwoods are scary! It's the only place where I've been genuinely frightened to go outside at night.
The woods just felt nefarious.
Nah, the woods are fine.
The *people* are nefarious.

Nevertheless, despite my semi-purist grognardism here, aesthetics aren't my real gripe. What I'm really perplexed and frustrated by is the reticence on the part of some of my players to engage in any-damn-thing. "New" ship with a history all its own, fluttery functionality in certain of its systems, raw materials on-hand to make improvements -- Nope! Potential plot hooks hinted at in the smorgasbord of knickknacks accrued over the vessel's history of smuggling ops and bounty-hunting work -- Not worth checking out! Fresh arrival on a new world (for everybody), and . . . only two out of five players elect to leave the ship at all, despite a lengthy wait for their first macguffin . . . .
So a 1st-level party chose to split up. Their first real combat encounter was slated to occur on a direct journey to macguffin-land, but only 40% of the group went that way. In order to keep something like a plausible narrative going, I railroaded our intelligence agent into a meeting with the planetary section chief, developing some political intrigue for the future in the process. And our two stay-at-homes were twiddling their thumbs . . . for hours . . . up until their youthful NPC pilot led the 'brick house cougar mechanic' from their current berth aboard for some . . . "playtime". . . . . At least they've started entertaining the notion of an intervention . . . .
"Asteroids fall."
Eh. We'll see how they handle it. lol
Cool. Done with that.

In other news: a good friend of mine just got his certified ethical hacker qualifications, and has a job with a major aerospace corporation all lined up. His going away party is this weekend. Gonna miss him at the game table . . . .
I'm still savoring my funemployment. Gonna contact my LEAN/6S instructor tomorrow, see if he's heard of anything that may be a good fit for me.
Campaign brainstorming proceeds apace for my desert region homebrew expansion. Probably a month before we start rolling the dice in earnest for that one -- totally stoked! Been too long since I was in the GM's chair at a live table . . . .

Pffft. You know it!! :)
How goes it, John?
Well, at least it isn't a *fast* day at work . . . . Seems to me that such would cause utterly exhausting piles of paperwork, at the least!!

Yeah we have a no-phone at front desk rule.
Yeah we have a no-phone at front desk rule.So do we. Doesn't mean anyone, especially new hires, pays any attention to it.

The song "Come On Eileen" could probably use a comma.

Police officers are the referees in the Game of Life.

Debates are becoming less about proving your point via logic and reason, and more about ruining the other side's reputation.
Argumentum ad hominem
Its a crappy way to win an arguement
I told my daughter that I saw a deer on the way to work tonight. She said "How do you know it was on its way to work?".
It was Carrying its briefcase. Duh!

I was once kissing a girl on her sofa. She whispered to me "Let's take this upstairs." I said "Okay. I'll get this end, you get the other."
The trick to moving heavy furniture is communication you have to make sure you both are on the same page when you say turn it that way!
