I’m not posting much while I’m on Sabbatical, but I feel compelled to surface long enough in order to subject readers to the jumble that is my mind. This is random thoughts.

1. I make acquaintances with ease. Friends are another matter, though, because that’s a whole other level of openness. But once someone is a friend I’m all in.
2. I love being able to control the AppleTV from my iPad.
3. Bump loves to dance, it’s fun ¹.
4. I missed the apocalypse sunset last night, that kinda bummed me out ².
5. It seems like half the world is on fire, and the other half is under water. Can we please agree that climate change is a real thing which needs to be deal with.
6. Dear death cultists. You suck.
7. I’m very glad for the extra time off this Summer. I only felt like I was “off” at the end of the second week. I’m still not feeling “away.”
8. I do miss not being on my treadmill desk to write, but I’m doing my best to stay out of the church building even for things I enjoy ³.
9. The Monday Murder Hobos lived up to their name this past week. Now I’ve got to think up some chase mechanics for 5e, complicated by certain… circumstances.
10. The cleric in the Bearfoot Marauders, Gibeon Starfall, has yet to ask the thief what his name is. This is complicated by the fact that the better part of a week, game time, has now passed and he’s feeling a bit embarrassed by the situation. So Gibeon just refers to the thief as “good feeling,” because that’s what he said when he first met the emaciated and sullen dwarf, “I’ve got a good feeling about you!”
