FYI Fay (oh, and HI FAY!) D&D'ing is limited to D&D, while RPG'ing is all roleplaying games, including Vampire.

I tell you this because if you want to make a good impression describing someone's Vampire game as D&D'ing may not go over well - some won't care but some fled to Vampire to escape the whole D&D shebang. Anyway, YDMMMV.

Me, I love a good old session of D&D. Mainly because, it's kind of brainless and fun to hang out with friends.

P.S. I just heard our second peal of thunder for the hour. Totally not expected weather.

Cheers, Pete! I guess I'm being confused about this because it's via the Bangkok Dungeons And Dragons Group.

You both looked quite lovely at the ball. and I am glad your coach didn't turn into a pumpkin.

here is my vacation blog post in case anyone is interested

My mother is freaking out about my friend bringing babies to Cairo. (The kids are 5, 17 months, and 1 month now, and they're moving during the summer.) It's kind of cute. I reminded her that Egyptian people have babies, too -- they won't be the first babies in Cairo.

ahh, mom. My first thought was the kids might not even remember living in Egypt.

Wow, that's a long flight with three kids. I'd be hitting my doctor up for some Children's Valium for that one.

! Bless your mum!

Egyptians ADORE babies. And kids in general. A. Dore. They will be spoiled rotten. And everywhere is kid-friendly. (Even to the point of pissing me off - I mean, come on, WTF with my gym being full of kids? WTF?)

I shared some of your thoughts on my sister's latest craziness with my Mom. She responds:

thanks to you and all your buddies............she may just not be able to blame herself yet. Hope she can see clearly some day............it's very weird...........

I said yes, weird is what it is.

OK, maybe dragging my less-than-healthy ass to the ballpark wasn't the smartest thing I ever did.

It was supposed to be like 50 and partly cloudy, chance of rain. It was more like 40 with windchill a bit lower, with at various points rain, hail, and SNOW. OK, so it wasn't actually snowing on us, thanks to the roof (though we did get rained on a bit while they were closing it), but the roof doesn't completely seal off the ballpark from the elements so it was OMG windy and cold.

Brrr! I'm still not thawed out!

As for the game...well, it's still going on (we left after the 6th because we were all OMG cold and Annabel was pleading to go home), and the M's are winning, but they don't look that impressive, and I didn't see anything from Erik Bedard to convince me it was worth losing Adam Jones to get him or that he deserves to be the #1 starter on a team that has Felix Hernandez.

I didn't mean to kill the thread with my shivering...
