Time to Reschedule
May 17, 2010 in Blogs
I’m very tired today–stayed up later than usual last night to finish some laundry and chat with my boys, and when I was rousted early to take one of them to work I did not return to bed as I sometimes do because my wife was on an early schedule as well today. Already I’ve been fighting sleep at the keys, and it’s not yet evening even by TV Guide’s standards. This might be good, though, because I have to be up so early tomorrow it will be like getting up at bedtime, because there is a major event to attend early in the day a couple hours away. It will disrupt tomorrow, but since I’m this tired already I expect I’ll manage to sleep tonight, as long as I can stay up long enough that I’m not sleeping before bed time. On the down side, I might have a long errand to run this evening; but we’ll see how that goes.
Meanwhile, the last of The Last Mimzy Examiner temporal anomaly articles posted this afternoon. The Last Mimzy part 11: precocious prodigies attempts to predict the disastrous impact on history that arises from having two psionically capable children in the world whose existence is far from secret at this point. But that’s the subject of the article.
I am also contemplating the suggestion that instead of writing book reviews I write columns on how to adapt the books for Multiverser game play. It’s an interesting notion, and so I’m beginning in my mind to draft the first, under the cue title Adapting. I’ll keep you posted.

MJ, I’d like to think that I speak for everyone here when I say that I don’t want to again see you blogging about falling asleep at the keyboard. I’d much rather see you blog that you are not running games that day, because you decided to take a nap for an hour. (Unless of course there is a legitimate reason why taking an hour nap would make things worse.) I’d like to think that I speak for everyone here when I say this.

And ya know what else? You’re looking for a way to lighten your workload. If you could make it here a minimum of three days a week, I’d be happy. The more the merrier, of course, but three days a week posting on the game would keep me happy. Just a suggestion.

Well, naps nearly always throw everything out of kilter, because either I wind up sleeping too long or a awaken groggy and disoriented. But then, I think I was falling asleep at the keyboard yesterday MORNING, from trying to get up too early.
I’m doing that again today in spades, as it were–the alarm rang at 4:30, because I have to have Tristan to his graduation ceremony two hours away before 8:30. It’s actually already later than our scheduled departure time, but no one is ready so I’m stealing a few minutes to hit a few things online and reduce my workload for later.
I don’t know if I’ll get to the forums today or not, but it’s one of those once-in-a-lifetime excuses: my son is graduating from college.

Then that would be a legitimate reason why taking a nap would make things worse.
And MJ, a once in a lifetime excuse is still an excuse. (Kidding) Congratulations.
