For all of my "Faithful" readers....

I don't know how many of you actually read this on a regular basis, but for those that do, thank you for your support. I have a lot of fun with ASL and my other interests and am glad that there are those interested in sharing that. I wanted to take today to wish you all a Merry Christmas. May it be filled with love, peace, and happiness.

Sadness...

There was ASL and my mind conspired against me....

Let me explain...

Friday, I was all set to go to ASL at Bob's house. I was looking forward to meeting the other guys (usually it's just Bob and me or sometimes Rob R. or Jess W). Then I saw the forecast: snow. OK, I thought. Slow and careful. No problem. I left at 4:30 to go to grab a bite for the family and I to eat and skidded the van 3 times there and back. It was like 2 miles round trip. I'm thinking. OK, I might get there OK, but at midnight, am I going to be so tired I can't drive this safely (especially with heavy snow in the forecast)? I cancelled. Of course, it stopped snowing up in North Spokane around 7:30 pm. I was sad.

Still, the next day, I put the snow tires on my van. More traction....mmmmm....

Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

I am going to have a serious jones to play ASL here over the holidays. I can see it now. Frothing at the mouth, convulsions, irritability, nervous tics...

OK maybe not, but if nothing else, I need to get a VASL game going in the very near future.... Certainly before January when we are likely to resume F2F games.

Spokane ASL Club

There will be a meeting of the Spokane ASL Club this Friday at 6:30 at Bob Wolkey's House. Rob Robertson may be leaving soon so we are going to send him off ASL-style...by kicking his butt, just in case we don't have another opportunity before he takes a new job. It sounds like the theme is going to coincide with the time of year. We are going to do some "Bulge" scenarios. Attending will be the largest gathering of ASL-er's I've seen since I started 2 years ago (6 of us, including myself). I'm totally psyched. Hope to see you there....
