... In case you were wondering, I haven't died.  This blog is far from dead (at least as far as new content is concerned.)  I've been busy ... well, not in a constructive way, but I've finally succumbed to the temptation to try out one of the massively multiplayer online role-playing games we've all heard so much about.

I tried EverQuest last week and it was okay.  I found the combat system pretty boring.  Now I'm playing Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) and it's better.  The most popular one is WoW (World of Warcraft) but I'll probably stick with LOTRO, I've never been one to follow the beaten path.

I'm playing tomorrow night with Buddy in the BCA (Bridge Center of Austin) Christmas party game (space permitting, I've heard they might be booked) and I'll blog a hand from that.
