Born in Houston, Texas and raised all over living the life of an Army Brat. I Went to 8 different schools (3 elementary, 1 middle school, 4 high schools) and have 1 little brother who’s not so little anymore. I’ve been married for over ten years now to a woman who rocks my world and I have the greatest ten year old boy anyone could ask for. The rest of my family is adopted. Sally is a big black lab and Bree a red mix of Chow and lab I’m told. Our latest adopted family member is a french bulldog aptly named Stitch for his appearance and personal hygiene habits. The cat that lurks in the office isn’t mine and I make no claims to his ass.

Owlcon

I spent most of this week just being lazy and relaxing after a busy and stressful weekend.  It was Owlcon convention weekend and I pretty much screwed the pooch on it this time.  I promised I would make trophies for all the winners.  I knew what I wanted in my head and didn't anticipate any problems.  So, like usual, I put off starting it.  So when I did start it with a little over a week to go and found that it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be, I slowly slipped into panic mode.  To make a long story short, I worked on them all the way up to the last minute trying to pull it off.  I still feel bad about it but I'm thinking positive again.  Without the stress on me now, I can focus on making them come out really good and I've got a new game plan.
The convention itself turned out really well.  Both my GURPS' games made, I saw a lot of familiar faces and met a few new ones.  There didn't seem to be the huge flux of people there was last year but there did seem to be a wider variety of games.  Hey, and Micah and me picked up a near mint copy of Hero Quest!!!  We played it on Sunday and had a few guys walk up and jump in.  One of the guys had me laughing so hard I bout died.  It was a good weekend, I just wish I woulda been able to enjoy it more.  Hey, it was my own fault and I'm going to make it point to not procrastinate from here on out.  Yup.  It's a whole different matter when others are relying on you for something...  No more procrastination.  No more, no more, no more.  Now if I could just remember all things I've been putting off...
