tracker7I just couldn't run the planned closing session of the Star Wars game. Drained in just about every relevant way. One of the players has picked up the GM hat (yay!), opting to run another Star Wars campaign. I would have preferred something else, but I'm honestly looking forward to being on the other side of the GM screen for a while.
Even better, there's a CP2020 game in the offing. More on that as it happens.
I've gotten in more memorable reading recently. Command and Control is a heck of a read if you'd like to see how many times things have gone wrong with nuclear weapons, and the blow-by-blow telling of a Titan 2 missile accident in Arkansas is brilliant and chilling writing. Read the first book in David Peace's Red Riding series (1974, I think), and while it's pretty damned good, it was also sufficiently brutal that I don't think I'm going to seek out the others any time soon. I'm a little over halfway through another Star Wars novel, Phasma, right now. It's good, but I don't know that I especially like it.
Had lunch and a good long talk with The Niece on Sunday. She's dealing with a lot, and let me in on a few things, and her trust in me is a precious thing.
Train show with the Southern Indiana Railroad this weekend. Two or three visiting layouts in addition to the club's permanent setup. Ten or twelve vendors signed up, too. With any luck, I've missed my last Thursday night operating session for a while.
