I am now 71! I am older than anyone else here. I wonder how long this game will continue? I've been here for 22 years now. Since I am often the only player here, I am also the youngest player!

I'd sure enjoy a good 20 player game on the map I designed for it, The Dragon Lakes.

In the meantime, I am working on a show of new paintings for a show in Nov/Dec. I'll post a link to some photos soon.

I also have sort of begun collecting marbles! They are so pretty, but the good ones (old German hand mades) are really expensive, sop I don't expect to get many of those.

I have also been getting some really great condition older Spider-Man comics, including a copy of number 28 in almost mint condition,
a real feat since it has an all black cover that shows any dings at all. Mine has none! I also got number 25, which also has a fantastic Steve Ditko cover.
When I was a kid, I had a mint collection up to about number 65 or so. If I still had it, I could sell it and buy a big house! I spent $20 on a perfect number one. It would have grade at least in the high nines.

Now I am going to cook some Spanish rice for use in a burrito!
