    Yeah. In my experience there should be an earlier elimination round.

    You aren't approaching it cynically enough. Open a can of Hormel Chili, put it in your own crockpot and sit back and laugh at how many awards it gets in office competitions.

    Not a bad idea.

    It's happened in my office. It's been a couple of years though. It wasn't me, but I was on the inside of the joke.

    Almost all terrible. I voted for a nice vegetarian chili with pleasing heat.

    My chili skepticism goes up 1% per 5 miles north of the southern states.

    1st place was a tolerable white chili, no heat to speak of.
    2nd place was what I rated second as well. Mild heat. Fucking Minnesotans talking about it like it was the hottest thing they've ever eaten.

    I don't eat chili without a bottle of Cholula on standby

    We have a chili cookoff at work tomorrow. The curry chili always wins. I'm not really a fan. Maybe I'll hack the voting app again...

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.
