Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Labor Day Weekend

On Friday, the family and I will head to Sioux City. We usually do this over Labor Day as I like to attend the Magecon, and indulge my hobby, Advanced Squad Leader. There's always an ASL tourney at the con, and it's about the only time during the year I get to do some serious gaming.

(Lest you think ASL is only for geeks, one of the people behind Multi Man Publishing is Curt Schilling, pitcher for the Boston Red Sox.)

Rhonda's family lives either in the Sioux City area, or Omaha, so they'll come over to the hotel and visit while I'm throwing the bones. The kids are looking forward to the trip, as they get to stay in a hotel and visit the swimming pool.

We'll be back Monday, so no blogging till then. I hope to be able to complete the next Dispatch from the Front then, and have it up either Monday night or Tuesday morning.

The topmost post over the weekend will be the one about relief for the hurricane victims. Contribute what you can.
