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!

Not too much to report, but I thought I might update a bit. Working hard on my show for this Nov/Dec. I just started getting some smaller panels ready to prime. All for frames I have already.

I have been aghast watching videos of the fiasco that the Republicans have allowed Trump to perform starting a disastrous war with Iran. No one knows how it will turn out, but I guarantee it will be bad for everybody. So sad that the US has turned into a fascist state. The good people left in the US aren't taking this well and if we can, will vote the Reps out in record numbers and then rein in the Nazis who have power currently. But gee whiz, I wouldn't want to get political!

The building I loive in has a record store/ bookstore downstairs. The Bookstore is the Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery, their brick and Mortar location here in Georgetown, Seattle.

Tonight there was a celebration of Fantagraphic's 50 year anniversary. There is a comic con going on in Seattle and they had a panel talking about Fanta's history with the publisher, Gary Groth, the VP publisher, Eric Reynolds, and Jim Woodring as well as Max Clotfelter and a couple of others. Afterward they came down to the bookstore for cake and drinks.

Quite a crowd at the bookstore... many cartoonists, collectors, well-known folk... and MEEEEEEEE!

Hello Mog !

Hi Braq!

Woo woo, I'm in a duel.. with Doodlez the assassin. Just like old times. Get in one yourself!

No Kings Day was a resounding success, over 8 million people marched against the orange stain.

Good

On Friday night I went with a friend to hear Tommy Emmanuel play guitar. He was incredible. Fast, accurate, inventive, funny. A great night. I suggest anyone who loves music should go to his concerts.

Let's get a campaign going! I'll make a six player game, please sign up to play! It'll be fun! Most likely.

Just for a larf I voted at TWG for Waronline.net! Nobody cares even a little about doing that any more, just like no one votes for Player of the Month, or Troop of the month. It's just me. The Mog, half human, half dog.

Just voted

Now go join the 6 player campaign I set up! Please!
