Good luck with your retirement and best wishes for Irene’s continued good health. I hit state retirement age this year and I always thought I’d jump at the chance to stop working altogether but it turns out when you already ony work two days a week and enjoy your jobe and like the people you work with, giving it up doesn’t seem like the amazing opportunity it once did. Still, I doubt I’ll do more than another year.

That AD&D book represents the only version of the game I ever played. I was also introduced to the game by someone who made a big deal of his MENSA qualifications and he also only lasted one semester at university before finding it all too much and quitting. Co-incidences may not mean anything but I always find them entertaining.
