Me and Christmas? We Go Way Back
Me and Christmas? We Go Way Back
I've always loved Christmas. Not just the day, but the whole holiday season. It started as a kid, of course, because my family always made a big deal about Christmas. We weren't really the kind of family to make "bed deals" about a lot of things, so that made Christmas extra special. I think it was just the novelty of it all that appealed to me more than anything. At Christmas, everything was different. The house was different (there was a tree in it), TV shows...

(This is slightly different than the info in the previous post on the matter.)
The holidays are approaching, and I wanted to tell you about a special Christmas gift offer for Dungeonaday.com. Now you can give a subscription to your gaming friends. What's a better gift to a gamer than new content every weekday for a year? This would be a great idea for a game group to give their DM (you know the one, the guy or girl who works so hard to provide you with...

We Thought We Were So Smart
We Thought We Were So Smart
We hung Christmas lights on our back deck this year, for the first time. At one point, we really needed to get a string of lights from one side of the deck to the other without going over the top. But I really didn't want to crawl under there--it's dark and cramped and filthy. So Sue had the idea of getting Marley to help. It's about time she started pulling her weight around here, we reasoned. So we tied the string of lights to Marley's collar while she was on one ...

Book Review: The Drowning City
Book Review: The Drowning City
I'm a sucker for a first novel. Often, I find that someone's first novel--while sometimes a little rough around the edges, shows the care and concern of someone who may very well have spent years fine tuning it, as they had no deadline other than that which they gave themselves. More importantly, though, first novels frequently sport fresh ideas and interesting, new perspectives. That's why I picked up The Drowning City by Amanda Downum.
