Is it just me, or is carving pumpkins more of an ordeal than an entertaining activity?

    Those pumpkin carving kits make it way easier than just knives and spoons from the kitchen.

    Every year I scramble to find those scrapers, Lex Larson. Quantity killed me even with proper tools.

    Also, Lex, you should know that Lunds/Bylerlys has these fantastic pumpkin cake roll things. Not pumpkin spice, but still the best pumpkin flavored thing I've had this season.

    Ok, I would rather carve pumpkins than do my actual work. But then emails would just pile up.

    Coop has the right idea -- watch from the safety of a comfy chair.

    He was upset I wouldn't give him a knife.

    Casey G. I love those wee little saws in the pumpkin carving kits. WAY better than paring knives or steak knives.

    I'll have to head over to L&B to check out the pumpkin goods!

    I shared that sentiment even when I was a kid.

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.
