Happy Birthday to me

So far, I've heard from my mom, even though it's really early for her and they're literally in the hospital today (although going home, I think, later today) and a bunch of people at work. My wife didn't even wake up in time to see me this morning, lol. But I'll do birthday stuff with her later, and expect to hear from all four of my adult kids during the day. We're not much of a morning family.

Anyway, I'll log in to SWTOR for a moment to get the daily login reward, I think, but otherwise, I don't expect to do much of anything tonight necessarily other than go out to diner and talk to a bunch of folks on the phone. 

SWTOR has wreaked expected havoc on my reading schedule. I only have so much free time budget, after all, and if I'm spending a lot of it on SWTOR, I'm spending less of it on reading. That said, I've read a few chapters of the last Heirs of Ash book and the last Dark Waters book, so I should finish those two novels (in Kindle and physical form respectively) in the next week or two even so. Then, a focus on physical game books that I bring with me in my personal little backpack to work. I doubt I'll look at my gaming PDFs very much in the next couple of weeks, however, unless I need to read one of them for actual gaming.


UPDATE: Because it's hitting the media and elsewhere, let me be clear; Scott Adams did not convert to Christianity in the final hours of his life. Him saying, and I'm paraphrasing but not with the intend to deceive his intent, that he still doesn't believe, but he'll say the words just in case isn't any kind of conversion. And he was very clear that that was all that he was doing. That may have cracked open the door for a potential conversion still after this life. We'll see.

UPDATE 2: I'm going to ask the husband wife couple, Jared and Tanya, that I game with if they want to create characters to have ready to go as a backup as needed, and if given that we've been waiting better part of a week to confirm scheduling, if they want to go ahead and put something on the schedule for it, when I see them on Sunday.

"It's time to take some action, boys, it's time to follow me!" Or, well, it's time to do something, and I think I'm the one who cares the most. Those two are in another campaign, after all. They probably aren't as "hard up" for more gaming as I am. I'm only in their campaign, and it's a much more sporadic experience than I'd like. 

The guy who runs their other game just had his time free up a bit. I wonder if he'd be interested in joining too? It's a little harder given that it's literally the last minute backup strategy, but y'know.
