Stay the course...

How is it that a person can survive answering phones all day I'll never guess, but I seem to do it. Pays the bills. A majority of customers are really nice but there are those few that really can try my patience. I find so often that if you just stay the course and be polite things work out in the end. The Team is pretty cook, but the 10-7 shift can really be exhausting getting some with enough time for a meal, hug kids, read a book and off to bed.

Speaking of book reading, been catching up on my Salvatore books. Really like his stuff. The newest "Witch king" book has me hooked. When I read them I tend to slow down at the end cause I want to milk the story for all its worth. Can't say how much reading means to me. Tend to do 3-5 books at one time rotating each night between them.

Think this weekend if the weather holds out Ill just relax, try and get the webserver back up and running. Damn chinese hackers but hey gives me something to do. Wife is getting a little impatient though. I think my provider is blocking that one box out on my network cause of the recent hack but who knows. Anyways, something to do this weekend while I catch up on my Tivo and LOST episodes.

D&D acitivity is back on track.

Its amazing, with the advent of moving to the new position, I have been able to a D&D campaign going on Sundays about once or twice a month. Nice to have a life again isn't it.

2 players 1 DM (me of course)
1 thief female elf
2 monks (yeah unusual but it works)
1 gnome illusionist (Npc)
1 Dwarven cleric (npc hes a nut)
1 Magic user (sorcerer)

So far the group now is up to 2nd level and have been through a couple of small campaigns based out of Forgotten Realms and all met at Waterdeep. They have created quite a reputation by helping out a local merchant trying to rebuild his rep and his shipping lanes by bringing back a local lighthouse taken over by pirates as well as recovering some family treasure from a crashed ship.

During the lighthouse recovery they had found info on a connection to a portal that had been taken over by a group of bandits working with some other foreign evil alignment. They have since moved through the portal only to find it worked one way with an activation sequence but not having the correct activation sequence to get them back. This has now tied them into the caves of chaos where they are looking for the reasoning behind the evil enemy taking over control of the portal. Where this leads I wont say but its going to be good.

I have lots plan so lets see where they go with it.
