My trip to Costa Rica began twelve hours before my flight left. In order to make the airport trip a little easier (and to give my car a free place to stay) I spent the night at a friend’s house, which happens to be much closer to the airport than my apartment. From there it was a quick drive to the airport. Once checked in I had some time to relax and read before boarding the first leg of my trip.

(more…)

Back from Costa Rica (as most of you are probably already aware). I may or may not write more about the trip at some point. But pictures will be available soon-ish. And for those people especially anxious to see pictures, then I would recommend you keep an eye out.

I’m in Costa Rica, suckers!

Unsecured wireless networks are as common down here as they are back in the states, it seems.

Though I probably won’t post a lot (big surprise), as I’m on vacation.

Pictures and maybe more posts when I return.

Or so it seems at the moment. I’m in Tulsa as I write this, where my Grandparents live, where my Mom and Dad grew up and where the extended family is now gathering together. The why is that my Grandmother passed away last Thursday at the age of 82. If it were only that, this might not qualify as “Saddest Weekend on Record”, but other things have been happening as well (though I won’t say what specifically, as it is not my place to do so) that increase the sadness index. Enough for top honors? Seem likely. But certainly putting it in the Top Five at the least.

At any rate I still own you, my fine readership, a scan of the Dragon magazine picture (I’d link to the post, but really, just scroll down the page a bit) as well as an after-action report for GenCon (which was last weekend). These things will wait until Tuesday (at the earliest), however, as I won’t be back in Cleveland until then.
