Decline and Fall

[tracker7]

Today has seen a very windy morning, with snow showers thrown in for added excitement.  Mina was both fascinated and terrified by the stuff.

I have wrapped all the remaining Christmas gifts, except for Erin's.  My dear mother asked to see it, and since she and Dad will be in town in a few hours, I'm willing to hold off for a little while.

Only one NFL game I'm paying attention to today - Browns at Bengals.  The Bengals are long since out of playoff contention, but should they beat the Browns, that'll do a lot of hurt to Cleveland's playoff chances.  On the other hand, Pittsburgh would benefit from a Bengals win, so there's really no good result.

Erick Wujcik, designer of the Amber and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPGs and scads of other things, has been diagnosed with terminal pancreatic and liver cancers.  TMNT and its descendant, After the Bomb, were among my first forays outside of TSR in gaming, and they still have places in my heart.

Did you get Erin that thing I posted that you were thinking about getting her? :D

I ended up not getting that, but I'm actually much happier with the one I got. I don't say more for fear of spoiling a present if Erin's reading (hi Erin :P )

I did, indeed, and it looks terrific.

Awesome.

I ended up getting a black one. I am equally well pleased (and feel like a steampunk captain rar)

Hers is dark brown. Looks like it'd go nicely with her Rose and Cross gear, too.
