World on Fire
Apr. 12th, 2015 12:40 pmA year ago yesterday, I left the Lexington Herald-Leader, where I had worked for over fourteen years. I've made some mistakes on the path since leaving, but in every instance, I believe that I have fallen forward. I do not regret it.
Netflix released their Daredevil adaptation on Friday. I've watched four episodes so far, and I am mightily impressed. The casting is quite good, and Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk stands out in a very good field. I don't want to refer to him as the Kingpin just yet, but it's coming. The show is surprisingly graphic in its violence, easily an R if it was a theatrical release.
Yesterday was supposed to be an afternoon and evening of board games (Table Top Day), but homework and a dinner date superseded. More of the same today - I have to miss sitting in on a Shadowrun game I've been invited so I can finish up a lot of work.
Next weekend is Thunder Over Louisville - the first one I'll attend. I'm looking forward to it - airshow, fireworks, and more. Had planned to go to Lexicon on Sunday morning for a X-Wing tournament, but an unexpected sale at CoolStuffInc.com ate up the money set aside for the tournament - new ship plus shipping costs came in at less than the cost of admission and food and fuel.
If the morning news shows are correct, Hillary Clinton announces her Presidential candidacy sometime today. I think there are better options within the party, but none are going to run, and I'm certainly more friendly towards Hillary than I am towards the two clowns that have already declared for the Republican ticket or anyone else who is likely to do so.
