I also, sadly, do not see getting to go to any of the big cons anytime soon.
Thank goodness for the local anime con I can go to and get my gaming fix! :)
Mechacon!
It started small in Lafayette, LA, and moved to New Orleans because they outgrew all of the hotels in Lafayette. :)
I can (Usually) arrange my work schedule where I can attend. I have some friends there running a couple of different games, (Star Wars mostly) that is where I get my face-to-face gaming fix since I can't get together with anyone on a regular basis here. :)

Weekend Project: Ionic Space Thruster
When I was in elementary school, I remember reading about another Ion Engine. This was a thin copper rod hanging from a thin plastic chain. You would be able to see the rod move from vertical while the current was applied.

I should say - I understand that there are legitimate reasons someone who may wish to go would be unable to. I had no reason except inertia.

Not bad for someone who drinks once ever two weeks or so. My tolerance is Brobdignagian.

No commitments for this being an annual thing for me! My bucket list is long, even after I check this one off :)

Catherine the Great - I: Not Quite Catherine Yet - Extra History
That explains a lot...

I.e. The things they don't teach in High School.

They don't?
I am pretty sure that I had heard about Catherine the Great origins, the new part was her relationship with her mother*.
*for a moment while listening I thought that Catherine banned her mother from the Russian court after becoming empress, but nope, she was banned by Empress Elisabeth before Catherine took the throne - I was confusing two important Russian empresses. I suspect that Catherine didn't mind, though.

Another (unrelated observation): I've just started my sixth playthrough of Mass Effect as a "new game plus," and it's becoming somewhat apparent that the gameplay is easier as a level 55 character on the second-hardest difficulty setting (Hardcore) than it is as a level 5 character on the easiest difficulty setting (Narrative).

Not the one I graduated from. But the Pittsburgh educational system probably has different standards. :)

School system of a country that was erased from the world map for 120 years by Catherine The Great might have different standards :P

No plan ever survives first contact with the enemy.
In my case, the enemy is many-fold. We shall see, however. We shall see.....

Hey folks-
Again I have to ask for your positive thoughts and wishes. My pup Icky is not improving. I'm taking him to the vets again, or rather my dad is since I have to go to school. Please keep him in your thoughts
Good hopes and thoughts!
