Time flies...

Although not all of it has been fun since my last post.
Enjoyed Cape May. It's a pretty beach town with lots of old Victorian homes. It was HOT the week we were there and the water was so warm even -I- could go in quickly. Dolphins like to play near the shore and my son discovered that if you stick you head under the water you can hear them talk. Very cool.

On July 26, Alex (Al to his friends), a gaming friend passed away. He was all of 39. :(
He was one of my friends who urged me to try City of Heroes and when he felt something was wasting his time he would mutter to himself, "I could be gaining levels".
He definitely had a unique view of the world and it was nice to see at his memorial service that he had so many friends who appreciated it.
I remember in our D and D group, he was our cleric and he tried to convince our GM that he did not get his powers from any particular deity. He just wanted his powers to exist. And even though he was the cleric, he was the most morally lax of the entire group. If an NPC didn't prove useful he was the first to say "Kill him" LOL.
But that was Al. You'll be missed dearly.
Rest in Peace Al and I'll gain a couple of levels for you.
