I’m at the Fey Court, clad in glittering chainmail made of stardust and spiderwebs, and a cloak made of dew.  We dance all night, for in the morning the sun will burn this elegantly constructed ballroom down, and we’ll be heavy and boring again.   But, for a few hours more, the clouds are our curtains and the owls our only chaperones.  It is good headspace to inhabit.  Drink with me, and don’t ask what it is – just know that it’s amber and for a few seconds it will sizzle on your tongue, then all will be made clear.  Hold me until the dawn and listen to me sing.

A short one, I guess.  Let’s steal an idea off someone else and go plus-minus: 

Gen Con:
+ a bonus day on Wednesday for being a local where I got to play XCrawl with my good buddy from out East, at a brewpub.  D&D + cheeseburgers + beer.  Epic.
+ fat, fat loot on Thursday raiding the dealer room.  My table is creaking.
+ attended the Numenera launch party and found out I was sitting next to Bruce Cordell!  Faaaaaaaanboy engines engaged!
+ Numenera tournament Thursday night was fun…
– …even though my team didn’t make the final round.  Oh well.
–  Friday was a short, rough day for me at the con — had trouble finding games, people I knew, anything to do, ended up going home early since I was footsore, fatigued and feeling a little lonely
+ on the up side, it’s in my town and I was able to go home, sleep in my own bed, hug my wife and kid, and get my head back in the right place and wade in swinging the next day
+ two sessions of Dungeon World and a DCC RPG over the weekend:  adventures to faraway places, the Elemental Plane of Beer, demonic desert maelstroms, yadda yadda.
+ having the following Monday off to decompress, get some sunshine, lay around the house and NOT mow the lawn

Football:
+ It’s football season.
– Okay, only preseason.
+ IT’S STILL FOOTBALL SEASON!!!

Back to work and the real world in the morning, but I’ll fight it until I drop the book on my chest and start snoring.
