Out here in Hohenwald (sounds like ‘hole-in-the-wall’ or close to it), we have a week-long yard sale running down State Twenty. It goes along with the celebration in town called ‘Oktoberfest’ which since this is a Swiss-German community makes sense (hey, we have a cemetery labelled the Swiss Cemetery which I drive by every day practically.)

On Wednesday, I intended rest.

This did not quite happen as the house needed some work, and the computer had crashed (probably due to some virus) and the demigoddess of electronica was trying hard to get it back in order. Plus the kids weren’t in a mood to relax.

It was a good day.

AWANAs that night at First Baptist, and I took the Ladyfaire out for cokes and conversation which is always nice.

The next day, Thursday was more genuine relaxation with the computer still down. The Ladyfaire took the opportunity to spend much of the day yard saling as I took care of the tykes who were very agreeable this day.

She found some Palladium books for sale, and after calling me, bought them. An educated to your tastes, shopaholic wife is a blessing in disguise. She also found that the seller was a gamer (of course) who had some friends who wanted a Gamemaster. So….perhaps I’ll be running.

I talked to some of them later that day when we all went out for a bit of shopping (the weather was wonderful, fall weather, and not getting out would have been a crime). Oddly enough, one of the potential gamers for this group had played Multiverser. Weird, since I try to write for them, and MV is an indie press (with a game that should take the world by storm since its just so cool!)

I hope to run my Temple of the Dying Sun d20 for them this week which is a game of serious morals, and very clever puzzles, and lots of strategy.

On Friday, I took the tykes down to Babba’s house with Babba and Grandmother Ashley. He’s ‘Babba’ for the typical reason that when Mr. C was younger, thats what Mr. C called him.

But I’ll discuss Friday in my next post…
