It's snowing. OMG
Jan. 20th, 2009 12:24 pmI'm not watching the inauguration. First, I don't get good reception out here and am currently without cable/satellite TV. Secondly, having a sick kid puts a damper on historic events. Poor guy. Thirdly, I have dial-up, so live streaming this stuff just ain't gonna happen.
Speaking of a sick kiddo, he's going to the doctor around three. It's a new doctor and it's in the next town over, but well worth the distance considering the local family practice (one I started going to when I was eight - twenty years ago) has more patients than it can handle. Not to mention the receptionists are idiots and totally rude. Mom speaks highly of the doctors at the new place, and as there aren't a lot of choices around here, I'll give them a shot.
The drive is going to be "fun." It started snowing a few minutes ago and it's starting to look like there might actually be accumulation. Now, I can drive in snowy and icy conditions. My year in Maine taught me how to handle it well, and plus I grew up driving on dirt roads that washed out in heavy rains. However, this is South Carolina. We don't "do" winter weather here, and the sight of snow not only means you'll be hard pressed to find water and bread at the grocery store, you'll also have a hell of a time avoiding bad drivers. One snowflake and everyone panics, I swear.
I've got a couple more hours before I need to bolt, so I'll go ahead and reveal what I was being so vague about in the last post:
I was asked to GM for the new guild campaign. I...accepted. I know, I know. The definition of crazy is doing the same things over again and expecting a different result. Well, I'm crazy. Plus, my ego was stroked, and Sam didn't think I was being a moron for accepting. The requirements for running sessions aren't too hard for me to be able to keep up with, and I figure it's one more creative outlet. The more gaming I do, the more I feel compelled to write and feel inspired. So, it's a good thing in some ways. We'll see.
