Greetings

Welcome to my little corner of the inter-webs! I just wanted to take this space to warn you that my posts will rarely be up to date. Due to the spontaneity of natural disasters and the unpredictability of when AmeriCorps' services will be requested I will be digitizing my journal entries whenever we return to St. Louis. Oh, and most of the pictures you see here were taken by myself. If ever I do use someone else's material I make a point to give them due credit though! That said, come, leave comments and be merry! I hope you enjoy your stay!

Current River - 1/17

Some dastardly otherworldly forces are at work here.  I went to take a shower and despite cranking the hot water valve only frigid waters gushed forth.  After waiting a couple minutes, I turned the knob as blue as it would go.  Presto!  Hot water.  That prank was a little juvenile, but well played mansion, well played.

I only got 11 today.  My body is weakening from the constant felling and swamping—that hike up to the project site isn’t doing me any favors either.  My wrists in particular are making chainsaw work difficult as they just want to give out.  I’ll press on as I know this is good for me.  I mean, I am fatigued but I’ve already noticed my biceps have gotten larger within these past 4 days. Imagine what another 6 will do!

Enough of my woes though.  What do you all think about evolution?  I was toying with the idea of it being like leveling up.  Every so often your species, race, or gender would level up and consult with the DM, let’s say God, about what skills, attributes, or traits they can learn or enhance.  The monkeys claiming the opposable thumbs was a good call—really thought ahead and helped us out… or maybe they just thought the description sounded cool.  Just recently I have been won over by man’s ability to grow beards.  Whoever made that call, bravo, as these colder months would be utter misery without my +5 to saves vs cold.  Those dinosaurs though… choosing to learn advanced magicks… oi.  I hope casting Meteor to show off to that dashing triceratops across the watering hole was worth it.  This whole idea is farfetched, I know, but it is entertaining, no?

With that I will take my leave for the evening.  Good night everyone, feel free to send senzu beans my way if you have any extra lying around!






Following the leader is our leader in training, Liz.  It was I who pilfered these moments from time.
