A Necessary Bond

Except for Christmas Day itself, I've had a rather good time here at the farm. I've put a lot of miles on the Jolly Green Giant (Somerset on Monday, Danville on Tuesday, Louisville today), but I've been with my family, and I sure don't mind that. Had a heck of a good time with Dad on Tuesday, but hitting the road at 4AM took its toll on us. We were both dead to the world within a half-hour of getting back home.

I'm going to be able to make tomorrow's X-Wing tournament after all, and as an added bonus, I get to see some of the Lexington gang. I've found an X-Wing group in Louisville that's launching a nine-game spring league, with a championship in May. I'll take some biweekly starfighter action. Kicking things off with a pre-season game night on New Year's Eve, and right now, that sounds like a damned fine way to ring out 2014.

Y'know, I'm really enjoying this time at the farm. I'm looking forward to classes starting back up in a couple of weeks, sure, but right now, just having the time here is an utter joy. I've got the place to myself tonight (Mom&Dad and The Niece are off to see family in West Virginia), I have The Clone Wars going and a couple of new novels and the D&D 5th Edition Player's Handbook to read.
