It's been a while

Welcome back to the fire, sorry it's been so long.  Just needed a total break, what with all the ch-ch-ch-changes, and the pressure I was under.  G'head, watch the fire for a while then come on back and you'll get a data dump and update.

So it's official, I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English with a Minor in Indigenous Studies, which apparently means I'm either overqualified or not qualified enough to do the things I want to do, and the decision to take a year off cost me a job but y'know what, I'm ok with that.  However, what with all the funky dreams, it's time to get working on the things I'm supposed to work on, so I'll probably be using this as a means to organize various thoughts and plans that keep bouncing around in my stump-like-head. 

I took some time off and went up to S'toon to participate in five LARPs as a part of SLARPcon.  Which is put on by SLARPA.  I just love to say SLARPA and SLARPcon.  And it was a fantastic weekend.  Lotsa fun.  Best part though?  Coming home and having both my girls be thrilled to see me and tell me repeatedly how much they missed me.  Nuthin' like feeling appreciated by the two most important people in my life, nuthin' at all like it.  Left me feeling warm and fuzzy, still do.

And of course, there was Father's Day.  That was a hoot.  I got lotsa 'Riders stuff, some fuzzy dice, a front plate for the car and some pj pants.  So I can be all greened up while I'm cruisin' in my new car. 

Oh yeah, new car.  Nice deal on it too.  Virtually a brand new car.  Great price, and works great.

Oh and the Little Bear isn't so little.  She got her learners and I'm teaching her how to drive stick, which is a hoot as well, but also I'm pretty sure I'm gonna hafta replace my clutch after a few months.  But she's learning.

So that's the long story short for the last little while and of course, writers write, as a good friend of mine says, so there will be more.  Love ya all, and in case I haven't said it in a while, thanks to every one of you out there.
