  1. Dr. Norman (not a real doctor)

    Obligatory William Gibson reference for the excellent novel “Spook Country”. I’ve read it fourteen times and still find something new each time – the man does not waste a word. No, not crazy at all.

  2. Hurray, people in the comments can have names again (if they choose to)!

  3. Yay for names! I love the pun as he takes the offered drink.

537 – Kooky And Spooky

How 'bout them spook stories now, Chuck?   Comments update: We seem to have fixed the issue of being able to add your name when leaving a comment. So you should be able to be anonymous or just leave a name when you comment.

One down, one to go.

Happy news for your humble proprietors… since Dawn and I work our day jobs as part of California’s educational system we qualified to get our COVID vaccinations done. First shot was last Wednesday, second will be early April. We’ll still be telecommuting for the time being but I’m okay with that. I think I honestly adapted better than most, what with already being antisocial and enjoying spending hours at my computer desk. Antisocial might be the wrong term. Selectively social? I do like the occasional hangout with friends and I’ve missed visiting some of my restaurant haunts. Other than that, online gaming plus chat via Discord has really seemed to fill my interaction needs. In fact I’ve really come to appreciate playing “tabletop” RPG like Dungeons & Dragons remotely, because helper apps like D&D Beyond and Roll 20 exist and have really streamlined the experience, and meanwhile we can use Discord to shitpost commentary and GIFs while it’s happening. If we were sitting around a table we’d be rightly expected to shut the hell up at some point so the DM could talk and/or hear. One campaign Dawn and I have been playing in has been entertaining enough there are thoughts of jumping on the Podcast bandwagon with it. We’ll see how that goes. In the meantime we plug along, but hooray for virtual socialization. It’s been a rough year but just hearing the voices of your friends can go a long way.
