When I was a kid I had what psychologists call “vivid dreams”, which are basically nightmares that are so real it’s like being in a Freddy movie. They were horrible and I dreaded sleep. About the age of 13 I began playing D&D, and my first successful adventurer was a ranger. Every night as I went to sleep I imagined my character fending off monsters and put him into the kind of situations I dreamt about. Eventually whenever I had a nightmare, I would become this character and set things right. After a few months the nightmares ended, never to return.

Years later I discovered that a similar therapy was being used by psychologists to treat people with chronic nightmares. Little did I know I had invented a treatment for other people’s bad dreams, but it was D&D that gave me the tools to do it. As such I owe Gary quite a lot. I never mentioned this to him on Dragonsfoot because I didn’t want to seem like a fanboy or a kook. But now that he’s gone, I feel that telling this story is the best tribute I can offer to his memory.

I need to get my outdoor speakers working so I can rock out doing yard work, lol. I don't like most of my neighbors anyway, let 'em eat Motorhead

Still fooling around turning the camera on myself, wondering if I do in fact *have* a good side. Almost caught a cardinal on my fence yesterday, would have been a great shot against the flowering bush sticking up behind him. But he flew off before I could get my camera. And that is the essence of photography: being in the right place with your stuff ready when the shot comes to you. I'll get you next time, birdy...

Starting a Shadowrun game next month (YES!). Got somebody lined up to play BattleTech starting in August, so my gaming schedule is filling up. Why couldn't these people have showed up right at the end of the school year when I had so much time on my hands? Oh well, it'll feel good to be gaming again after almost a year out of it.

Met a few people at my local game shop today. Maybe they'll join my table and play some Shadowrun.
