Life is the pursuit of random numbers

Returning to our regularly scheduled program. It's amazing how much of life's obstacles are seemingly random. Life is like D&D only you don't know what you rolled until long after you threw the dice.

Steven and I continued our slow drudgery through Too Human during last evening's video game night. It has a D&D-esque character building and loot collecting substory. The rest of the game is rather blah.

Today is the company meeting. I'm wearing my corporate-love t-shirt. They give us free shirts to show our loyalty to our particular group. I'm wearing a jacket for two reasons: (1) I hate advertising on my chest, and (2) it's usually very cold in the baseball stadium where they hold the meeting. This morning is overcast but warm. This might be my first meeting where I'm not slowly freezing to the bone.

They're surprisingly good at role playing

Dogs playing D&D! I know I'm using too many exclamation marks these days. It's part of my new optimistic outlook. Okay that even made me laugh.

I miss playing D&D. The last time I played was in college. Yes, I was and continue to be a geek. I like to think of myself as the king of geeks. Not in the sense of being the best geek, just in the sense of moving seamlessly between the world of geeks and the world or normal peeps. As I said, I like to think of it that way. In reality, I'm not that good at geekdom, and rather terrible at normal livinghood.

Did you notice Button (that's the dog on the left) staring at the Cheetos? She loves food. And Ziggy with the cigar? It's like that dogs playing poker painting, only not as good, and with D&D.
