Over the years I’ve collected so many of these Thanksgiving “cards” that I can never decide which to use. So I simply use them all. Happy Thanksgiving.Read More →

So, I’m trying out the brand new Age of Mythology: Retold (2024) this week to mixed success. It’s a rerelease of the original Age of Mythology with major upgrades to some of the core mechanics. Basically, it’s the same game but has some new features, mainly to catch it up to today’s technology, I think. And I’m not sure I like it. Or, maybe, I’m just having trouble getting used to the new setup. We’ll see.

The strange thing is I don’t remember liking this game all that much when I played it the first time. But I’m really enjoying it this time. Weird. Or maybe it’s just the company.  🙂Read More →

There are two threads going on over at DearAuthor.com that fascinate me. One is False Advertising? and the other is The Changing Face of Romance . . .Or not?. They fascinate me because the arguments used by some of the posters sound reasonable and logical. So much so in fact that they make me want to revise my own opinions. Almost. Are they truly that reasonable, however? Don’t know. Still thinking about them. Whatever, I just posted the following to the False Advertising thread and wanted to expand on it a little here: I’e thought about this entire discussion over night and I’m curious about something fundamental here.

I found this online and love them: But it reminded me that I don’t believe I’ve ever shared my action figures that I got at Metropolis, Illinois, one year. One of these days I may open the box to find that kryptonite …Read More →
