Random Ramblings

Today I got to help teach the kids' class, and even got an open offer to continue to teach the kids' class if I show up early enough. So... yay teaching!

( #250: Training can happen on multiple levels )
( #251: Clothes can indicate an intended audience )

Getting back into the swing of things… and continuing to find more differences between what I’ve been taught and how things are done at this new dojo. Ah well. It’s not like I wasn’t expecting it.

( #243: It’s hard to overcome the curse of knowledge )
( #244: Leading by team still requires one person to be in charge )
( #245: You haven’t really learned something until you can explain WHY you’re doing it )

Tonight was my first “real” class at the new dojo. I’ve already paid my fees for the first three months, so I guess it’s time to dive in head-first again…

( #237: Logistics are sometimes the hardest part of starting )
( #238: With skill comes flow )

What’s creepier than a carnival? A haunted carnival, that’s what! Especially one inhabited by plenty of supervillains! Not that that’s ever stopped Our Heroes (tm) before…

Week three of my Lufa Farms basket! And this week it's all random, all the time!

Why milk something for only two posts when you can do three? Here are my thoughts on how the first week of meal planning went.

For a while, I've considered joining Lufa Farms, a rooftop garden program here in Montreal. You select weekly basket items from their farm and their partner farms, and it's delivered CSA-style to your designated "pick up point." Riding the wave of September good intentions, this week I finally decided to take the plunge. My first pick-up day will be on Tuesday, and I got to prep my basket today.

So that's where things stand right now. Will I be successful? I don't know. We'll how to see how things work out. Whew!

In fifteen days, I will be at Pennsic. As is inevitable, I am not nearly as ready as I thought I’d be. One of these years, I’m gonna do what I promise myself every year at War: get everything organized during my 50-week “town run” so that I’m super-prepped with plenty of time to spare.

Ahahahaha… I crack myself up sometimes. Let’s be honest: it’s gonna be like this forever.

While I only start my formal Pennsic diary once I get in the car to War, I have enough thoughts spinning in my head that I thought I’d write them all down. So consider this a preview of the Pocket Bard’s 2016 Pennsic Diary, two weeks early.

A new game! This time, the PCs are superheroes in New York City, and things start off with a bit of a bang.
