Jon came back from Gencon with the new Freekingdoms Warlord from the Dominance expansion for me as a gift.

Why?

Because dear Mr. Magicbane has game text that’s custom-designed for me: “All of your critical failures are considered critical successes.”

That is to say: every time I roll a 1, I treat that roll as a 20.

Now watch me start rolling 2s…

Ben and his daddy share lots of interests:


…playing Martian Manhunter


…choosing cards for a new deck


…reading comics (Babies see B&W contrasts best, dontchaknow)


…and trying to figure out encumbrance rules!

Happy Almost-Birthday, Ben (Pt 1)

…but we much preferred the surprise!

In an unexpected and delightful gesture, my office sent a tower of fruit to our apartment.

Ben weighs six pounds.

The fruit basket weighs twenty-four pounds!

Thanks, guys!

The biggest shock upon arriving home from the hospital wasn’t the mounds of unwashed laundry or the terrible state of the kitchen floor…

…no, it was realizing that, after four days of holding my 6 pound, 2 oz son, our three 9 to 16 pound cats look like lions!

We’re Home…
