Unfortunately, my donation goal hasn't budged since the last time I posted it. I need to pick up $35 worth of medication today, so if you enjoy my work and you're able to toss a few bucks my way, I'd appreciate it.

Hey friends, I need your help. If just 30 of my 3000+ followers picked up a $1 monthly Ko-fi membership, I could cover two of my #epilepsy medications each month.
You could be one of those 30 cool kids that help give me some peace of mind. #mutualaid

I am going to start walking my neighborhood again (need to lose weight and get my steps in). With that said, I want to record my walks again and talk about #D&D, #boardgames, #beer, #whiskey, whatever! So let me know what topics you want covered! No topics mean I will ramble about anything!

Stranger Things finally came to an end, with mixed reviews, primarily due to 1 thing that plagues most Dungeon Masters as well - of course I am talking about pacing.
While we enjoyed the season, it could have been so much better with a few moments done at different times.

RIP. He was great on All in the Family but as a comedy director is where he truly shined - including the best movie ever The Princess Bride.
Rob Reiner, who directed such beloved Hollywood classics as 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me' and 'When Harry Met Sally' after starring in the trailblazing sitcom 'All in the Family,' died Sunday along with his wife, Michele, in their Brentwood home. bit.ly/48UWXSi
