Rob’s Update: Happy Groundhog’s Day Eve
Greetings all
There’s no big news this week. I’m plugging away at tasks for bigger projects like Okkorim and Paladins of Valor. I was very productive, but it’s one of those weeks where I can’t point at a major item of note.
Between editing and writing, I dealt with something like 60,000 words this past week, which is nice. However, as I say, they’re tasks within an overall project.
I spent a goodly amount of time straightening up in the garage and shop areas. Still a long way to go, but my goal of getting the shop going in April or so for some woodworking projects is on track. Plus, I have a special plan for a chunk of the garage.
I think that’s it for this week. It’s a short update, I know, but this was one of those boring yet necessary and productive weeks.
Have a great week, everyone!
New and CoolIt’s not new and cool, but I’ve been rewatching Babylon 5. Such a good show.
Quote of the WeekHappy Coronation day to Edward III on this day in 1327.
And here’s his parenting technique with his son, the Black Prince.
Also say to them, that they suffre hym this day to wynne his spurres, for if god be pleased, I woll this journey be his, and the honoure therof.
– Edward III
We had a great game night this past Monday, and I know the word is spreading. This past week we started a 5E campaign in the Firehall Sagas.
Also, the Beginning Quilting class has been a big hit so far. Session 3 tonight.
Oh, and we’re starting to see more longarm quilting jobs. If you’re interested in that service, you might want to reach out. At some point, there’ll be a wait for her to get started.
