    I spent some time looking through Brickipedia last night at old space and castle sets. I had so many of the little space sets that were under $5.00. Just a tiny weird spaceship or rover thing and a spaceman. But I think this might be the only original spaceman that made it back to me. 

    The good news was that I think ALL my castle Legos and knights survived their 25 years in a box at the bottom of a closet.

    One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't take my whole rubbermaid bin of old Legos with me when I moved out of my parents' house before getting married.

    Did it go in a garage sale? Or worse?

    I honestly have no idea. It probably got trashed, but I don't know. And it's not like I can just call 'em up and ask about it.... I've kind of been disowned. :/ (Long story, don't ask.)

    Brian Takle I shouldn't have been surprised, but I still was when I discovered you can find the instructions for just about any old set online. I could build all my old castles.

    Alex Hakobian Yikes.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

Life is short and unfair.

Life is short and unfair. I don’t even know what to say. Hours after the last picture I posted of Alice and the kids we came home from the movie to find her nearly dead in her kennel. She stayed at the vet for 36 hours, and after making some improvement on the first day, started to fade last night. I was with her when they put her to sleep this morning. We buried her collar and her stuffed elephant under our deck where she liked to crawl just out of reach. Alice had four owners in her short life. She survived being hit by a car and moving from Alabama to Minnesota. Then being moved around in foster care before she got to us. I hope she knew she was with for the long haul. She was a good pup. This is the last picture I took of her. We were visiting her yesterday at the vet, anticipating bringing her home today.
