GenCon SoCal
Ok so I am online the other night and my IM (yahoo) goes off and it’s my friend Bruce from Ca. and the days of gaming in Rokugan with our good friend Brian.
So we chit chat and ask about this and that and then I ask “hey you going to GenCon?” he says”yes booking my room now as we chat.” Cool I say, and he ask where I am staying and I of course tell him that I have floor space with a friend, and he says well you could stay with me and split the cost! WOW I say. I mean this is friendship at it’s best, I have not seen Bruce in over a year and out of the kindness of his heart he offers me a bed! That is super cool as far as I am concerned!!!
So now I have games to run for Green Ronin and a place to sleep all is well.
Thanks Bruce!

Horay for GenCon SoC
Horay for GenCon SoCal
So I get word back from Green Ronin that my games have been approved by them and posted on the GenCon site! Yeah I am official. Now I just have to square away how I am getting there and where I am going to stay! Green Ronin is paying for my entrace to the con so that is covered, I called the hotel that I have stayed at for the last 2 SoCal GenCons and while the last 2 years the price was reasonable, this year they want 200 dollars a night! NOT! I asked the Middle Eastern gentleman why the price hike from $56 a night to $200 and he said because there is a weekend in there?! Lucky for me my friend here in town is going and has some crash space! So he has offered and I am going to take him up on that. They are driving down so looks like how I am getting there is covered to! So my total out of pocket expense should be nominal and that is good cause as always I am broke!
Ah well done ranting now will post more later.

Hurricane Katrina
Hurricane Katrina!
Wow I just wanted to say that my heartfelt wishes go to the people of New Orleans LA. And the surround areas as well that have been affected.
We now return you to the regular Mr. Mean! The nice man that said these things is gone now.

Part Duex.
Ok so the week is almost gone and all this week we have gotten a note from my sons teacher saying much improved behavior in the class. Awesome, of course the result of this angelic behavior I am sure is the direct result of a lack of toys and teevee on my sons part. I mean when his mother found out that he got in trouble she removed everything that even looked like a toy from his room. So for the last week he has nothing but homework and some attention from us and then 5 pages of a workbook that I bought him at Borders a few months ago.
Today being Thursday I am hoping to see another good report, he woke this morning lamenting that he only need 2 more reports and he would be off restriction! Now the funny thing is neither his mother nor I have mentioned that we would lift the restrictions on his toys and DVD’s. So where did he get the idea that all would be right in the universe if he brought home a weeks worth of good reports? I would like to think that this is due to my son’s superior intellect and ability to reason! Or his uncle Bri has been sending him e-mails when I am not looking?
Anyway all appears well in the Polack universe and I will allow my young genius to have his hopes and dreams of toys and DVD’s as long as he continues to bring home the nice little piece of paper that makes mommy and daddy all giddy with parenting pride!
